Responded.

 

Thanks

 

Make sure you check back with me before pulling the trigger on a Flaherty deal. Best way to make sure J4L doesn't trape you.

Alrighty. I don't think I'm the high guy on Flaherty, just so you know.

This is a classic Connor move, lol.

Honestly, can we retire 'trape'? Likening a bad trade to rape is pretty offensive.

With the waiver draft taking place in just over a month, some revisions to the rules have been drafted to reflect the Fantrax switch and rule change decisions made to date. Take a look below. I'm not sure about the 48 hours free for all in the last paragraph since only players with MLB experience or on debut waivers can be selected outside of drafts and this 48 hours.

 

 

Rule 5 Draft (Waiver)

 

An annual Rule 5 (Waiver) Draft will be held in early March of each year. Prior to the draft, teams must be cut down according to the cut down rules, by the last day of February. The Rule 5 Draft will consist of 5 rounds (to fill the vacant roster spots 21-25 on each team).

 

Rule 5 Draft order will be determined by the standings of the previous season with a weighted lottery on the Top 5 picks (to help prevent intentional tanking).

 

- Weighted lottery (5,4,3,2,1) for bottom-5 finishers for the first five picks in the draft.

- the last 15 finishers draft in reverse order of regular season finish.

- lotteries are only for the first five picks of round 1. All picks in later rounds are reverse order of regular season finish.

 

Unowned players in the Fantrax database that have MLB experience, AAA experience, or are an MLB international signing, are eligible to be selected. International signings that were subject to international spending limitations and unowned prospects without AAA experience may not be selected in the Rule 5 Draft.

 

Only players that are in the Fantrax database prior to the beginning of the draft will be eligible. If a player is added to the database by Fantrax during the Rule 5 Draft, that player will be ineligible to be drafted and will be subject to waivers following the conclusion of the Rule 5 Draft, if eligible.

 

As the Rule 5 Draft is a manual process, each owner will have 12 hours to make their selection. After the 12 hour window, that owner may make their selection as soon as they are able, but the draft will carry on in their absence and subsequent owners may make their selections. During the Rule 5 Draft, owners are encouraged to keep close tabs on the progress of the draft in order to quickly make their selection when they are on the clock. Other owners are encouraged to email on-the-clock and on-deck owners so that the Rule 5 Draft may be completed in a timely fashion.

 

At the conclusion of the Rule 5 Draft, Waiver Priority will be reset to the inverse of the previous years’ standings and all undrafted players will be placed on waivers for 48 hours to start the season. During this 48 hours period, only players that have MLB experience, AAA experience, or are an MLB international signing may be selected off waivers. International signings that were subject to international spending limitations and unowned prospects without AAA experience may not be selected off waivers.

 

Bumping this.

 

I think the 48 hrs waiver free for all (last paragraph) should be abolished. It doesn't make any sense. After the waiver draft just turn on the ability of each team to add free agents or make waiver claims, as per normal practice.

I agree with everything you've drafted.

 

The purpose of the 48-hour waiver period is to put teams on equal footing when it comes to adding players post-draft. Everyone is going to have red-flag players, and we don't want teams owners who happen to be around when the last pick is made to have first dibs on the remaining players. I don't think it should be abolished.

Done. Keeper rules next.

 

I don't know if I'd touch those, based on the conversation going on the DDL.

Understood but as written allows players that hit AA the previous year to be added at any time (then moved to farm per new rules). Also makes no mention that players exceeding prospect eligibility criteria and having green flags cannot be stashed on the farm at cut down.

Right, those need to be addressed.

So the DDL is on the verge of turning the league into a true dynasty: no more pre-season cut-downs. I've been wanting the DDL and BORED to do this for years. The rationale for doing it:

 

- The cut down was designed to promote parity at a time when most of us weren't familiar with these kinds of leagues. It turns out that the cut down isn't necessary for redistributing talent. The LoD, for example, is a 30-team league with no cut down and has no problem with talent being concentrated among a few teams.

 

- Our current cutdown rules are cumbersome and annoying (32 keepers of which 18-22 can be MLB players). Given that the waiver draft isn't necessary to accomplish parity or expedite rebuilds, I think this adds a needless layer of complexity to the league.

 

- The waiver draft is a disaster. Outside of 2-3 high profile international signees, the draft is mostly flat, with <10 keeper worthy players typically selected inn a given year.

 

- It reduces the administrative burden of tracking waiver draft picks on a spreadsheet.

 

I'm proposing that we just eliminate what IMO is little more than a needless hassle. The changes would mirror those likely to pass in the DDL:

 

- No more MLB cutdown deadline and no more waiver draft. You'd keep your 25 man MLB roster + 12-man farm + DL players forever.

- There is no offseason inactivity. You can continue to add/drop players from the waiver wire year-round.

- We'd have a single New Player Draft Sometime between January and March every year.

 

The changes would take effect before the 2021 season. Our 2020 MiLB picks would be used in July for out last mid-season draft. Our 2021 picks would be used in January/February 2021 and every subsequent draft would take place then.

 

I'm going to open up a poll.
