Missuse of minor league rosters

[moochpuppy]

I have noticed there are quite a few teams that have players on their minor league rosters that are not eligible for the minor leagues. In order to be able to place a player on the minor league roster, that player must be one of the following:

 

1. Actually be playing in the minor leagues.

2. Have less than 130 AB (position players) or 50 IP (pitchers) in the majors.

 

You have players on your minor league roster that do not qualify under the above two options, you must move that player to your major league roster or release that player.

 

For example, I have Scott Thorman on my minor league roster. At the beginning of the season he had a total of 128 AB in the major leagues which made him eligible for my minor roster. After this week, his AB are now at 138 so I must now move him to my major league roster or release him.

 

I believe this is the way the minor rosters are supposed to work. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

if the player is currently in the minors wouldn't that also make him qualify for the minor leagues?

As I realized so I clarified, sicen it makes ABSOULTELY no sense. And dince i don't have a message that says my roster is illegal I take it be a misunderstanding of the rules.

You won't have a message that states the roster is illegal. Sportsline doesn't track that, it's a self patrolled thing.

 

What doesn't make sense?

if a player is currently playing in the minor leagues he should be minors eligible no matter his MLB experience. Prior should be a minors pitcher for example.

Exactly. That's what #1 states, actually playing in the minor leagues.

A guy on a rehab stint is not minor league eligible. But since Prior was actually optioned to Iowa, it makes total sense for him to be minor league eligible. He's actually on Iowa's roster, not the Cubs'.

 

What doesn't make sense about someone on a minor league roster being minor league eligible?

Tim, when a player is on a rehab stint, isn't he usually still listed on the DL?

I believe he has to be on the DL when he's on a rehab start.

I apologize. I read the 2 rules as having to be combined and not either/or.
