League Payment 2009

Like I said, it sucks, but it's not your fault. We'll get it taken care of it one way or another.

You get my last email? Not sure what's behind your questions. I mean, I know you want to DL ARod and still have room during the preseason to add someone (or, at least that's my guess...), but not sure why you're questioning the DL and roster limits during the offseason? Is it a legit question, or are you making a point that I need spelled out more clearly?

No, I just want to make sure that I can draft his replacement without having an "illegal" roster. I just can't move him to the DL right now.

No, you cannot technically draft him. You can only draft the number of total players for which you have an active roster spot (25). However, once the season begins, and DL spots are official, you can then pick someone up via waivers. Hope that helps.

That's kinda screwy, but okay.

Nothing screwy at all about it. There are no DL spots in MLB during the offseason, and until the season begins, a player cannot be designated as injured. While we cannot follow every rule and procedure of MLB in a fantasy league, this one is easy and right to follow. Besides, we are drafting the exact number of players we need. WHy should we allow teams with injured players to draft extra players? That would be silly.

 

If you want to draft his backup, then draft him. You have plenty of room on your roster for that. IF you don't, and would rather do it via free agency after the draft, then do it that way. At that point, ARod will be designated as injured, opening up a roster spot for you anyway. I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding that once the season starts that you can have up to 3 players on your DL who will not count against your 25 man roster, or if you are just upset that you have to wait. Either ay, these are the rules and have been since day 1. It's the same for you as it is for me- if Peavy goes out and blows out his elbow in the WBC, then that sucks for me, but I don't get to draft an extra player because of it.

 

It might not be perfect, but it is what it is.

That may be somewhat true, but a MLB team can make appropriate moves in order to cover a known injury before the season starts.

 

If Jake Peavy tears a labrum before opening day the Padres can make a trade or signing to cover that injury. So while he's not technically on the DL the MLB team does not have their hands tied until the start of the season.

 

Does that make sense?

Sure they do. If they make a trade, they have to have room on their 40 man roster for that player. Same for us. You have to have room on your 25 man roster to carry someone during the offseason. You cannot have 26 players at all during the offseason, just as MLB team cannot carry 43 players on their 40 man roster during the offseason. However, once the season begins, you can carry up to 28 players, provided that 3 are classified as injured and on the DL by MLB.

 

Again, it is not exact, and it is not perfect, but those are the rules. If not, the hypotheticals can get way out of hand. (Imagine a guy keeping 17 exempt players and 13 injured players whose points do not exceed the limit. That's a bit of a reach, though perhaps not as severe a reach as you might think.)

 

I think you'll find that this is much ado about nothing, though. Honestly, I think you're making far more out of this than necessary. A 25 man roster in fantasy is GINORMOUS, and there is no reason you cannot draft ARod's backup and forego a middle reliever until the season actually begins, DL ARod, and sign a middle reliever via free agency. I promise, this is basically a non-issue with rosters being the size they are.

Just waiting on Lee and Chuck.

Dammit. I'll send out payment again on Monday.
