what's the rule on service time? mcgehee played a few games with the cubs in 2008.

That information is posted under Keeper Roster in the rules thread. One slight, but potentially significant, correction to what Brian said: To not count as an exemption a hitter has to have fewer than 50 plate appearances (rather than at-bats) in the season. It gets a bit confusing because the criteria for exemptions is based on plate appearances, where for minor league eligibility it's based on at-bats.

Roady,

 

While you can pick up Hafner mid-week, you can't put him into your lineup for Sunday. If you pick him up and put him on reserves, that's fine. Unless you had an injury to your U, then I guess it's okay.

 

I was actually looking at pronk earlier today. I was going to drop Loney once lineups were set tomorrow and pick up Hafner.

 

Thanks, Tim...I did not realize it until after the line-ups were set...I am glad it did not impact the game against DJ...plus he did not start on Sunday...
