If we drop one of our 6 minor league FA pick ups can we pick up another one instead or is it 6 total the whole year? Yes, you can drop one to pick up another. You can also pick one up to replace a Minor Leaguer that has been promoted due to loss of eligibility only. I'll lay it all out in one post later. Let's say after 2 weeks following the completion of the MiLB draft, the 1 MiLB FA/24 hr period restriction will be lifted. Everyone will have guys they want by then anyway. I will keeping track of all this. This is a PERFECT example of why this league is far and away the BEST league I've even see, been a part or, or even fuckin imagined. A question is posed, an anwser is well thought out, planned and given promptly. Unlike that "league that will not be mentioned". Kudo's to the GM's for having foresight, and I'm pretty sure Mack has that ESP....... N thing too. |

Since we didn't finish the draft today, are we going to start the MiLB free agency tomorrow (or today as most of you will be reading this on Thursday) or wait until Friday???

I just made the last pick at 11:37 a.m. Thursday, and JLane's has been skipped, so we're just going to wait until the morning (Friday) before you may sign your first Minor League free agent.

So tomorrow at 8am we can submit for MiLB free agents? Do we just post the pickup under the MiLB draft page? I imagine if 2 people claim the same guy does whoever put in the claim first get the player? |

We discussed this before, but never came up with anything final. I'd like to finalize something by the end of the day today. I don't see a problem with adding minor league-eligible players through free agency once the draft is over, but I would like a way to limit who and how many. I don't think we'll do a waiver period, but I like the idea of restricting pick-ups only to guys you can find on ESPN. Let know if you have any more ideas. If this is the case, then more than half of the picks, aren't legit? Or am I just drunk at 9:04 am??? |

He did not list this as part of the official MiLB Free Agent stipulations in the League News thread. Hence, it was just a suggestion never really taken into effect.

Since only a very small percentage of minor league guys show up on ESPN, I don't think anyone ran with that idea.
There's still plenty to go around, and this deep into it, most guys left have about the same value.

That's fine by me if that's what everyone's doing, I just would have drafted someone different than Morgan with my first pick.

You can always drop one of your guys and pick another one up, as long as you do not surpass the six-player limit on MiLB free agents.

Not to mention, if your first call-up of said player is a direct result of losing his MiLB eligiblity (calling him up after he reaches 130 AB/50 IP), then you qualify for another MiLB free agent to replace him.
However, you are not entitled to a replacement free agent if you call the player up before he exhausts his MiLB eligibility.

what happens if a player was on your MLB roster but you demote him. If after the demotion he stays on your MiLB roster until he is no longer eligible, can you pick up an additional player? Just trying to nail down the specifics.

With what you described, no. You are only allowed to take another MiLB free agent if the call-up is incidentally linked with a player's loss of eligibility. An early call-up done by choice means you forfeit any opportunity to pick up a replacement minor leaguer for that player.

Just trying to nail down the specifics. You should be able to do that. If he's on your MiLB roster at the time of his loss of MiLB eligibility, you should be able to promote him and replace him. |

If you use an option to send him back down to your MiLB roster, all MiLB rules would apply to him at that point. I know you may be thinking that this is something people could exploit, but it would still mean only 1 additional MiLB pick-up per player eligibility loss, and you would have to fill that gap on your roster when you send him down (and be responsible for half someone's salary when you have to bring him back up.) |

My mistake, I misinterpreted what you said:
You cannot add another FA MiLB player until one of your guys loses MiLB eligibility. That means if you send your guy back down, he's still MiLB eligible, hence you won't need to pick someone up. But after calling that guy a second or third time and seeing him lose that eligibility, then yes - you can surf the MiLB FA for a replacement. But only when the eligibility is lost.
So in short, yes, your scenario fits within the parameters. Sorry, I read that question and it got a little jumbled in my head.
