What's the requirements for asking a player be moved to the minors? I have Honeywell in a IR slot, he doesn't have a green flag, but he hasn't pitched a game in the majors yet.

You can demote anybody that Fantrax will let you demote (green flags) but requesting that someone be sent to your minors is restricted to when you have traded for a player that was on the other owner's MiLB roster. Fantrax won't let you send them straight to the minors as part of the trade but you can request that they be plopped down there by a commissioner.

 

How did Honeywell end up on your IR?

I think he was on someone else's MLB roster when I traded for him. I was just being hopeful that since he hasn't played an MLB game yet, that he might be able to be moved down. No worries though.

Ah okay. Yeah if he was on an MLB roster then it is what it is. If you can show that he was on your trade partner's farm then I would be willing to demote him for you if you want because I was not clear about the requested demotion thing during our Fantrax migration process.

Yeah Honeywell was on my MLB roster and I placed him on the IR upon the Fantrax move. At some point Fantrax removed his red flag so you'll just have to pass him as a regular MLB player.

 

Blame him being on my MLB roster for like three seasons on Gibbers.

When I added some of my prospects, they didn't have green flags so couldn't put them in my minors. Could a commish move Daza, Haseley Arementios, and Quinn to my minors. Thanks.

Done

 

If anyone else needs this done, let us know before the cut. Also, lots of you have been given commissioner access so on the top right corner of the roster screen you might be able to turn on commissioner mode.

[SpeedyGose]

Don't believe I have commissioner access, can I get green flags on these guys? Ryan Mountcastle, Tyler O'Neill, Oneil Cruz, Estevan Florial, Edward Cabrera

[Laika]

I have the #1 waiver pick and I'd probably trade down. Ex., #1 pick for two other high waiver picks.

[P2F]

They'll get green flags once the season starts. They were added to the real-life 40-man roster in the offseason (except for O'Neill, who has already played in MLB), which is why they don't currently have green flags. But they're all on your farm anyway, so all is well!

[Fearthedoc]

Miguel Cabrera and Bobby Bradley are available cheap!

[z3r0s]

Traded FTD a 4th for the corpse of Miggy.

 

Don't worry guys, I read he lost weight this OS, so he should be good again rite?

Losing weight is great, but is he in the best shape of his life? That's really all that matters to me.

One idea to make the 2021 draft not as terrible would be to declare the 2020 J2 players ineligible for our 2020 summer draft. That would add a small group of relevant players to the 2021 draft. It would not diminish the 2020 draft by much at all.

 

Okay so the vote passed very quickly.

 

Summary of the major changes:

 

- Starting in 2021 the league will be a true dynasty league

- There will be no MLB roster cutdown; you keep all of your players forever

- Roster limitations will now carry through the offseason

- You can make MLB add/drops in the offseason

- We will no longer have a waiver draft and a prospect draft

- We will have one "New Player Draft" in February(ish) every year, like in the LOD

- Our first NPD will be in 2021

- The 2021 draft will be weak because the 2020 amateur draft will have already been picked over by our league. Keep this in mind when acquiring 2021 draft picks.

- In 2020 we will still have our two drafts. We need to track the picks for both drafts on a spreadsheet for 2020. We can't use Fantrax for tracking the 2020 draft picks because we can't leave the draft "unfinished" after the start of the season - apparently that would f*** up the league. Not a big deal for one year but another reason switching to one NPD before the season helps.

 

Some possible other changes and things to be decided:

- We could exclude 2020 J2 (international) players from our 2020 summer draft in order to add a few interesting names to the weak 2021 NPD

- We could expand to 26 man rosters to mirror the MLB and do that at the start of the 2021 NPD, freezing free agency at the time. People could then use a draft pick on a 26th MLB player, making the weak 2021 draft a bit more interesting.

- We could expand minor league rosters a bit since we are becoming a true dynasty and we are not as concerned about parity and player turnover.

- We may be able to use Fantrax's live online draft room tool for the NPD. You can set the clocks to 12 hours if you want. It automates emails to people and you can leave a queue in the draft room to pick for you as soon as you are up. It sounds promising but I haven't tried it.

- We may have to rethink our rules around adding free agents, eligibility to be added based on level if prior year, and MLB debut additions.

- We may mess with the draft lottery to provide no incentives to tanking going forward.

 

Are we doing this, Sir Laika ruler of DDL? Seemed like people were onboard.

I don't know, haven't really thought about it. I don't think it matters much either way. The 2020 J2 class doesn't seem to have any/many prospects good enough to be taken in our draft.

Made all my cuts in the DDL and BORED

[Orgfiller]

I believe he's talking to you Org, lol.

 

I don't know what to tell you Spanky, lol. There's not really a clear-cut #1 that I'll be kicking myself over for not being available 3 picks later.

I'd take Yamaguchi for the haircut value
