First, just wanted to say how great is it that it's opening day? Also wanted to note that I will be finishing up my excel file for the league tonight and if anyone wants me to send it to them they need to reply to this post.
I also need some help from the league as far as minor league players are concerned. When I started the league I intended it to just be for the inital minor league draft and the July drafts. However, recently there have been some issues raised that I really had not thought of. I would like to know what the league thinks I/We should do on some of them.
(This should not scare anyone off, it's our first year new problems should be expected.)
1. Should we be allowed to add players to the minor league rosters through auctions during the season?
2. If a player is sent to the minor leagues on your roster (that you did not draft in the minor league draft) should you be able to send them down as well?
My first response to both was no, but then I started thinking. On issue one, should we find a way to allow this or just make owners wait until the player in question is no longer a rookie to be added?
On the second part the only way I think this would work is if the player went through a waiver type process where every other team would have a chance to pick the player and his contract up. If every owner passes than the player could go to the original owners minor league team, but only be allowed to stay there until he is called back up. The owner would have a week to get the player back on their major league roster or they would have to cut him and eat the portion of the contract.
I'm just throwing this out there, but I reall need everyone to respond here. This isn't like the division poll where it does not really matter, these things could impact the league.
I will post this on ESPN and Proboards so everyone should see it.
