Why does no one pay attention to their teams in the offseason?

Making trades with me, of course!

That's the point, I think. There would be something to pay attention to, if people would pay attention. There are certainly deals to be made. We can all see the rules that have been in place for two years, and see what players we will have to release. We all should know where we are drafting, and now is a perfect time to deal for players who will likely be released, and for trading draft picks.

1st thing is I need to understand who I can keep, how many points do you get to use on players and then decide on who to keep

Check out the pushpinned post League Rules. Those rules have been in place for 2 years, and in terms of keepers, they will likely remian unchanged.

 

You may keep 1800 points. Anyone who has 3 or fewer years of service is points exempt. For example, Ian Kinsler's points do not count against him, because he only has 2 years of service. (To calculate YOS, find the year that a player lost his rookie status- 130 AB's or 50 IP. That is his first exempt year. Every year after that takes away an exemption. Once a player has used 3 exemptions, their points begin to count.)

 

You may also keep up to 10 players who have not achieved rookie status yet. That is your minor league roster.

 

Hope that helps!
