Remind Me Again... Why is BJ Upton Non Exempt?

[Hosak8]

I'm just not clear why a full season in the minors should cost him an exemption. That makes no sense. It would be one thing if he got ANY playing time whatsoever in the majors, but to not get a single plate appearance and still have it count against him is silly, I think.

BJ Upton lost his rookie eligibility in 2004 by having over 130 AB. Therefor the three year countdown began in 2005 no matter his service time.

According to whom? CBS shows him with 3 years of service.

Hosak, Tim and I have discussed and we amend the rule that if a player does not have ANY AB or IP in a year during their exemptness, then that will not count against the player. BJ Upton is there for exempt for the 2008 season.

 

If anyone else has a similar circumstance and released a player because of something like this please notify Tim or myself and we will make an adjustment the adjustment to your roster. You have until Sunday night (one week before the draft) to let us know.

 

Thank you.

I dropped Ted Lilly because of this. Do I get him back? Also, thanks very much for reviewing. It just seems fair that you did, and I appreciate it.

If he fits back under your 1800 points, then yes. I will add him back to your roster tonight but only if you promise to stop bothering me now. :grin:
