A couple of people asked me about this so I figured I'd just set it up now and answer questions.
- Noone will be able to add minor leaguer keepers until after the May 5th draft.
- You may promote eligible minor league keepers to the main roster, you may not demote eligible minor league keepers until after the May 5th draft.
- Draft order is random and the draft will continue until all spots are filled.
- Anyone drafted in the main draft and kept until the draft may be demoted in place of a pick provided he's eligible. Free agent pickups must clear waivers.
Japanese players are eligible.
- Any player is eligible provided he is not currently on a major league roster and has not qualified as a ML rookie in the past. MLB defines rookies as anyone who has spent 45 days on a ML roster, had 130 ABs, or pitched 50 innings.
- Any eligible player called up to the majors after 8/31 will not lose his eligibility based on September numbers and will not be removed from mLeague rosters at the end of the season.
- All mLeague Keepers will be available only to the owners who have kept them. If someone else picks them up the commish will correct that.
- If a mLeague Keeper makes the major league roster the owner is not required to promote him to the major league roster.
- A Keeper is free to be dropped and replaced with another player any time during the season, provided the player is eligible.
- A Keeper is free to be traded in any deal provided all roster limits are adhered to.
- mLeague Keepers are frozen during the offseason and no additions may be made between the end of the season and the mLeague Draft. Trades are allowed.
- At the start of each new season any players no longer eligible will be taken off teams (unless made full Keepers) and each May a new draft will be used to fill any open slots.
- If a player is drafted in the main draft and kept on the major league roster until the mL draft he may be demoted once the rosters unlock, provided he qualifies. This demotion must be made in place of one of the owner's scheduled picks. If all picks are made he loses this eligibility and must clear waivers to be demoted.
- If an owner wishes to demote a player added to the major league roster as a free agent he must put him through waivers on the major league roster. Any successful waiver claim may be used to put player on Minor League Keeper roster or major league roster. If player clears waivers owner may demote him.
- If a minor league keeper is called up to MLB and then demoted back down, the fantasy owner may also demote him provided that he meets all mLeague Keeper qualifications. No waivers necessary.
See Minor League Keeper Rosters for details.
Players in red have filled their eligibility and are not eligible to be kept after this season or if dropped.
Names in a hat.
