Roster management questions

Some of my players are hitting their max playing time and are starting to perform at Replacement Level. I would like to replace them on my Active Roster. What is the procedure for doing that? Do I need to put them on Waivers and risk losing them (if so, I may just continue to use them).

Once transactions are made, where do I submit a new MP? I apologize for not knowing these answers, but it's my first season AND I'm in 13 leagues - so keeping track of various procedures gets complicated at times.

Thanks in advance for answers!

Depends on your goal?

If you want to keep them around for next season the simplest way is to farm them and submit a new MP. Just email Brendt and I with the new MP and we'll process it before the next set of games.

If you don't want them around any longer then you can waive them. Just make a post in the Waivers section (and then submit a new MP). If someone claims them on waivers you're completely off the hook in terms of contractual obligations. If no one claims them they will count as an NRO (non roster obligation) for the remainder of their contract term, but they will no longer take up a roster spot.

Hope that helps!

PS - we don't force teams to farm players who exceed usage, the software just turns them into sub-replacement level players which suffices for our rule set. So you can continue to use them, but beware, the results aren't good. There's the occasional "sun shines on a dogs ass moment" of course. But overall it's not pretty.

Gosh, Larry. Thirteen leagues?! I participate in only five. Typically, I evaluate player usage after every 6 or 7 games for all my teams, making moves between the active and inactive rosters to keep anyone from going beyond the limit (105% in our case) too early. Unlike in MLB, there is no limit to the number of times our players may be sent up and down. Take advantage of that to keep all your players "fresh." The 120% splits limit is sometimes reached before the overall limit, too. That can be problematic.

Hi Butch,

Up until recently, I only participated in one or two leagues. Both of my children are off to college now, so I have a lot more time on my hands to devote to my baseball simulation interests. I have spreadsheets to track usage for every league and update them frequently. I also have a master calendar of what is due throughout the season to keep from missing deadlines. This league is easier than most, since we don't play the games (I'm not a big fan of playing the games anyway). I didn't use to think I could handle this many leagues, but it has actually gone quite smoothly. Last season I scaled up to 6 or 7 and this year all the way to 13. If the right league(s) comes along, I would even consider adding more. I LOVE leagues that allow drafting pre-debut prospects - the deeper, the better!

Thanks for the advice!
