The "Original" 24 TKL

I can't find it, I swear to god I thought I saw it at one point, but I've looked at so many of these message boards the last two weeks it's very possible I'm confusing leagues. Can I promote him and surrender the 11th round pick? I traded for him with the intent of playing him. If I messed it up and can't I'll accept it (and just bitch at myself endlessly...)

Unfortunately, he can't be promoted at this time.

Milwaukee Bears cut prospect Slade Heathcott

That gets me to 7 prospects. I only have two picks so don’t need to make a cut but he has been out of baseball for a couple of years. Only held on to him since never needed the spot in case he made a comeback but will dump him now to add some flexibility in case someone needs a way to reduce a pick

Understood. But I can promote him after the draft right? If that's the case, I'll surrender my 11th round draft pick.

You’ll have to make an uneven trade after draft. Trade away a player for no player in return, just a pick.

No. Any prospect that you intend to use in Season 1 of the league must have been promoted prior to the FA draft.

There is a loophole in the rules, as Roscodog mentioned. If you wait until AFTER the completion of the FA draft and then make an unbalanced trade, which leaves you with 29 or fewer rostered players, you may promote a prospect to fill that spot.

Excerpt from Prospect Rules 5 and 6:

5) Prospects must be promoted prior to the spring free agent draft to be eligible to be rostered at the start of the first season of play
6) After the spring free agent draft is complete, Prospects can be promoted to the major league roster at any time, provided there is roster space available.

The reason you must wait until AFTER the FA draft is complete is that you must finish the FA draft with 30 players on your roster. The spring free agent draft is not complete until all teams have 30 players rostered. Therefore, you could not open up a roster spot for a prospect promotion while the FA draft is in progress. Any roster spot opened up by a trade during the FA draft must be filled by a FA pick.

Sorry to all for holding up the draft; a little too much personal and work stuff colliding.

My pick is in.

Thanks to all who offered to trade for that pick. While there were many good offers, decided to take the path of least resistance and reach for a young pitcher.
