minor rule change proposal

PostTue Jun 13, 2023 6:15 pm

10) "Prospect Franchising" -- Each team in our league has the option to designate one prospect as a "franchise pick." This designation would give the team that drafted the player exclusive rights to that individual in perpetuity, and exempt said player from the two year prospect call-up window allowing them to stay a prospect until such time as this prospect is: (a) traded to a different team, (b) released, or (c) activated as a carded member of the team's roster. When this designation expires, it cannot be reassigned to a new prospect until the conclusion of the next prospect draft conducted by the league.

I would like to propose that the last sentence of this rule be revised to read, "When this designation expires, it can be immediately transfered to another one of that manager's prospects."

Rationale for change: Our annual prospect draft occurs after the annual free-agent draft so a prospect whose two-year eligibility is expiring would currently have to be added to the 40-man roster prior to the free-agent draft and would not be eligible for this designation.

Joe Musgrove available

Musgrove is pissed because he did not get the start in Game 4 of the league championship series, so I told him he was welcome to pitch elsewhere if he could find someone who would take him. Not looking for much in return :-)

That's fine with me if you want to put it up for a vote. If we're amending, I'd also eliminate "carded" to allow for any crazy owners who want to promote without a card. I could see having an uncarded player with MLB experience on my roster vs. a guy in AA who I'd have to promote due to the 2 year rule.

I vote for Rant's idea....

it would then be possible to promote a franchise player to the 40 man and then desiginate a new franchise player...

almost no one left

I got to thinking, "how many players on my active roster now were on the 40-man roster I inherited two years ago?"
It turns out that the answer is two: Xander Bogaerts and Marcus Stroman :)

I know that the commissioner was having problems that made it difficult for him to complete another league draft back on June 16. Perhaps those difficulties have carried over to prevent him from organizing the affairs of this league. Has anyone interacted with him since the time I indicated?
