Falcon to confirm

I confirm, and in all fairness I specified his worst pick in our talks.

Want to repost this here as we prepare for another season. This is from page 264 when it was stated what rules would change to accommodate for the weird 2020 MLB season.

Here it is cut and pasted:

To answer a couple questions from before:

1. I have decided to do this: If your player chose to OPT-OUT of the MLB season, then you can retain him at no penalty, you just get to carry an extra guy. This is for guys who are on the OPT-OUT list now, not some guy that opts out after 30 games or some such....I am printing out the list NOW so that is what we will use.

2. Stadium rules will stay the same. You will still have the chance to change stadiums if you are in the bottom 8 or your stadium values change by a total of +/- 15 or by +/- 5 in any one area

3. ALL prospects will have their "year drafted" bumped by 1 year. Thus if you have Joe Blow '19 he will become Joe Blow '20 and if you have Tommy Smith '20 he will become Tommy Smith '21. They will still get 2 years from this new date to be promoted or dropped.

4. Due to #3 above, all owners may carry 14 prospects for next year but then will have a tough call to make in the Spring of 2022 you will have to get back down to 10 again.


Here is the list of players that Opted Out of the 2020 season. If you have one of these guys, you can retain him and it doesn't count as one of your 30 roster spots.

Braves: Felix Hernandez
Brewers: Lorenzo Cain, Shelby Miller
Cardinals: Jordan Hicks
D'backs: Mike Leake
Dodgers: David Price
Giants: Buster Posey
Marlins: Isan Diaz
Mets: Yoenis Cespedes, Marcus Stroman
Nationals: Joe Ross, Ryan Zimmerman, Wellington Castillo
Orioles: Kohl Stewart
Pirates: Hector Noesi
Red Sox: Collin McHugh
Rockies: Ian Desmond, Tim Collins
White Sox: Michael Kopech
Free Agents: Tyson Ross, Francisco Liriano

**I know that Markakis opted out but has since opted back in and is playing. Cespedes had 30 at bats and then opted out. He counts as opted out as it occurred before my August 15th announcement. Anybody that opts out now is still considered active. Don't want to run into situations where a guy on a bad team that is out of it chooses to opt out after 40 games or some such. Therefore the list is as of 8/15. I got this from multiple sources online. If you see a guy is missing please let me know asap and I'll research it.

*** all this assumes that the 2021 baseball season is back to normal and minor league and major league baseball occur as usual.

Does Dodger Stadium have enough changes to be eligible for a different stadium this year?

I haven't seen the numbers for the parks. I don't have the ratings book. If someone wants to post the park #'s here I'll look into those.

Doesn't look like I qualify for a new ballpark. I checked out our rules and did the math. I wish there was something that counted two years worth of different numbers instead of only one year. Because you can have a drastically changed ballpark in two years - but it won't count for anything under the current rules.
