New League Info...

4 minor leaguers isn't enough IMO. I'd go at least 10.

 

Also, is the MLB keepers based on points or just 5 random players?

 

Existing teams get to keep 4. Our rosters will hold 8. ONce everyone's rosters are set, you will get to keep 8 at all times.

 

So you have to drop minor leaguers at the end of the year? Why not just get to keep all 8?

 

because half the league is new owners who have no minor leaguers to keep

No. The only reason that return owners are keeping only 4 is because if we kept all of our players from last season, you new folks would have much much less to pick through. Trust me, this is best for you and the 7 other new guys. In the future, you can keep up to 8 during the offseason, so long as they meet the criteria as set in the rules.

On Number 2: The teams who are carry overs get to submit their list of 5 keepers and 4 Minor League keepers. Some time before the draft, all new teams will get to have an expansion draft, selecting 5 MLB players and 4 MiLB players. ONce this has been completed, everyone will be on the same ground, and we will hold our draft. Because half of this league has been working on their rosters for years, and this new league formed out of that league, it was only fair to allow old owners to select keepers and not make them start from scratch.

 

New teams are NOT taking over old rosters. Every player from those rosters (which includes some HUGE names) will go into the expansion draft, and then into the league draft if not selected. Same for Minor Leaguers. Much of this is covered in other messages in this forum, so lease look around a bit. You might find answers already posted. If not, feel free to ask as many questions as you have.

 

Thank you, I tried looking around, but there's so many topics on this forum and so much info I didn't know what was necessarily old or new. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it

Yeah, nearly everything on here is old. Only about 3 or 4 threads are new. That will change over the next few weeks, but for now, you only need to pay attention to stickies or things that say New in the title.
