AAA Update
|
Just a reminder that our draft will start untimed a month from today on 2/8. SOM's fielding ratings are available on the strat-o-matic.com website now for free and their full ratings will be available (for purchase) in approximately one week.
?
Trading:
1. You guys may openly trade without limitation on roster space now that cuts have been made. Please remember though, there are only 23 rounds in the draft, so if you trade away too many players or picks, you will play with less than a 35-man roster (not recommended). The site currently shows rounds past Round #23, but they will be deleted.
?
2.?Now that cuts are in, picks later Round #7 may be traded for the upcoming draft.
?
3. You may now have more than (2) AA players after trades are made.
?
4. If trading for a AAA player, remember that they are not eligible to play in any games this year. Once designated as AAA, they stay AAA for the entire year.
?
Looking forward to a great season!

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHelp me understand..teams will not be allowed to carry a full roster of 35 players if you trade away draft picks or make a 2 for 1 trade??The draft will be completely exhausted by the 24th round and beyond but picking up players to fill your roster might keep you from having an over usage rule?

All, Jimmy asks a good question here that I'm sure will be asked again,?so I'll answer it now. As our rules state currently, our maximum number of ML protects are 12, which we all currently have right now.? 1) There will be a 23-round draft to allow each team to get to 35 players. If you use any of your picks on players with minimal usage or ineligible players (below minimum usage to play), do it at your own risk. 2) There are NO free agent pickups allowed. 3) If you trade away ML players and/or picks you may need to play with a roster under 35. 4) We have a 110% usage factor. 5) We allow unlimited usage of hitters with a .600 or less OPS. 6) We allow unlimited usage of pitchers with an ERA or 6.00 or higher. 7) The limitations for AAA players were lowered drastically this year to avoid teams stashing away useful players with lots of available usage and depleting the draft. With all this being said, we have 24 teams in this league drafting from a base of 30 MLB teams. 110% usage PLUS unlimited players. This should not cause problems if you draft/trade properly. There is more than enough usage to go around. I think the rules are fine as they stand now. If there are enough of you that feel that a 35-man roster is not enough to cover usage, we can consider voting to increase to 38 and extending the draft by 3 rounds. However, I'm sure we'll have the same issue because some guys will trade 3 players for 1 better player, or useful players with good cards for future players, etc., and then sweat out over usage penalties. The usage of 110% will not be changed for this year. We already voted on that. Free agent pickups will not be allowed? If two or more managers respond today and ask for a vote to increase the ML roster from 35 to 38 and add three rounds to the draft, I will put it up for a vote. I don't think this would favor any specific teams doing it before the draft starts.? Ken On Wed, Jan 8, 2025 at 11:32?AM Jimmy Rogers <jmyrgrs@...> wrote:
