Major League Salaries and Contracts
---Major League Rosters Will Have A Hard Cap Of $80
---We will be using a pricing structure of real life salaries from 2008 scaled down on the ranking system below to start the league.
---Players Salaries can be found at tinyurl.com/6nb3cs
---The Breakdown Of Salaries Is As Follows:
---0-1 million = $1
---2-4 million = $2
---5-7 million = $3
---8-10 million= $4
---11-15 million= $5
---16-19 million= $6
---20-25 million= $7
---26-30 million=$8
---(Example: I Draft Mark Kotsay who made 7 million last year, his salary for the league is $3.)
---We will round to the nearest whole dollar (4.4 mil=4, 4.5=5)
---Players on the DL count against the cap but not against your roster limit.
Contract Lengths
---After the draft is completed each owner will give out contract
---lengths to their players. Here are the rules for this.
---2 player @ 5years
---2 players @ 4years
---4 players @ 3years
---Unlimited @ 2years
---Unlimited @ 1year
---Contracts are guaranteed to drafted players.
---However, owners can buy out players' contracts at 50 percent
---of its value for the remainder of the contract.
---(Example: I Get A-Rod for $8 at 5 Years. However, Madonna's
---influence kills his game so I can buy him out by counting $4
---against my cap for the next four years. If the player's contract
----is not evenly divided by 1/2 then you pay to the nearest
---dollar, Kotsay's $3 deal would cost me $2 to buy him out.)
---If a player dies or retires then a contract is voided.
---If a player goes to jail then you have to buy him out (take note
---if you are thinking of drafting Elijah Dukes.)
---If a player is not listed in the salary list I provided then they
---are to be valued at $1.
---Rookies are not to be drafted during the major league draft.
---Draft picks can be traded.
---An owner can chose skip his pick if he/she wishes.
---After our initial season we will handle free agency by placing them in an auction format.
Franchise Tag
---To steal from the NFL, players who contracts are done and about to head into the auction can be given the franchise tag.
---This works the same as the NFL, one per team at average salary of the top 5 players at his position.
Foreign Players
---Players from Japan, Cuba anywhere else that get inked to a
---major league team will be eligible for the major league draft
---and will come at a salary of $4.
Minor League Salaries and Contracts
---Rookies are considered anyone with under 200 at bats or 75
---innings pitched in the major's.
---Salaries for the minor league draft will breakdown like this:
---Rounds 1-3 = $3 contracts
---Rounds 4-6 = $2 contracts
---Rounds 7-15 = $1 contracts
---As in the Major League Draft, owners will give out contract
---years to minor leaguers after its draft.
---2 players @ 5 years
---3 players @ 4 years
---4 Players @ 3 years
---Unlimited players @ 2 years
---Unlimited players @ 1 year
Call-Ups and Send Downs
---As in real major league baseball, owners will have 3 minor
league options per player. Meaning the can be called up and sent back to minors 3 times.
---After the 3 options have been used a player must stay on the roster or be bought out.
---Minor league contracts are also guaranteed.
---If a player is still eligible for the minors (in terms of AB's and IP's) when their contract runs out then they will be able to be put into auction for minor leaguers.
---Owners must post on this board in the call-ups section when they are calling a minor leaguer up or sending him down.
July Minor League Draft
---Each July we will hold a 5 round minor league draft.
---Any team under the 20 man limit for minor leaguers can participate.
---Picks can be traded.
---Rounds 1-2 = $3 Contracts
---Rounds 3-4 = $2 Contracts
---Round 5 = $1 Contract
---Snake draft with order to be decided by current standings.
Trades
---Trades can only be shot down with a majority veto.
---Owners involved in the trade can not vote but are encouraged to state their cases if there is an issue.
Cheating
---Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal of from league.
