new exemption rule

[abuck1220]

i know we have some new rule where a guy who has one ab in his first season would not burn an exemption. what were the limits for hitters and pitchers again? i thought it was 50 abs (?) for hitters...i can't find the original thread...

I think Raw was correct in the game chat that it's 50 plate appearances.

A year is a season in which a player has 50 or more plate appearances, 5 pitching starts, or 10 total appearances.

 

Ouch. I might have given some bad information in the game chat, Juan. The recently overturned trade of Dana Eveland for a minor leaguer is the transaction that requires immediate attention.

 

According to your rule above, any year with less than 50/5/10 would be considered an exclusion from an exempt year. I assumed the rule was strictly for guys who have yet to cross that plateau. By your wording of the rule above, even though Eveland pitched enough innings in '05 and '06, he would regain a year of exemption status with only 5 innings pitched (1 start) in '07.

 

That, or the wording needs to be changed. I made the mistake of assuming that once a player crossed the plateau of 50/5/10, that any year after that if they got even one inning or one plate appearance it would cost them an exemption. So, we need to clarify this one quickly in case these guys want to go ahead and reverse that trade again.

This discussion came up a few years ago regarding players who miss entire seasons such as Kerry Wood in 1999. The decision was to not count those years and I think this should carry over to miniscule seasons as well.

 

Thus, only years where the minimums were exceeded count against exemptions and Eveland has one more.

In other words, I was right when I answered the question in the chat and you were wrong when you corrected me. :P

I don't think I was the one who initially told them he didn't have any exemptions left, but I just backed someone else who took my same stance. Adam, maybe?

That screwed me then.... because I traded him to Justin based on the fact that he had an exemption left, then reversed the trade and dropped him because of the game chat. I think Justin should be given Eveland back and I should get the minor leaguer that I traded him for. He's all for that too..

[tadowdaddy]

Brian or Juan..

 

Can you add Eveland back to my team so Justin and I can re-process the trade?

 

Thanks,

[BigbadB]

I don't believe I have that capability. Why don't both of you pick up/trade the players when they clear waivers?

If someone gets the waiver claim before me, that'll cause a problem. I don't want to waste a waiver claim on him either... I know Juan has been able to do it in the past...

Don - you have an illegal roster.

 

Brian - you should be able to make that move if you go to add/drop. Not that I mind doing just FYI.

Thanks Juan.. I made the offer to Justin...
