All Owners: need your vote.

In response to many requests to tighten up our rules regarding the DL and that some owners over the past seasons tend to abandon and not take care of their teams, the Circle is recommending this rule:


Owners have 7 days to move players who have been sent to minors or the DL by MLB or the players will be dumped into the pool.  Players who have been brought up from the minors or are off the DL will also be dumped in the pool after 7 days.  Day 1 is the first day that CBS alerts the owner that a change has taken place.  Day 7 deadline is midnight Central time.  The same 48 hour window for others to pick up a dumped player applies.  Owners may reclaim their players during that 48 hour window at a cost of a waiver.  The 48 hour window starts from when the player is sent to the pool.

Aye: Curt, Dave, 82, Chiman, Boris, tico, JR, Ray
Nay:
Needs one more aye to pass.

That's fine; the issue passes 9-1

By the way, I’m assuming if someone gets in a car wreck or some other big life event like that, the Circle will give them a waiver on the 7 day rule right?

Issue 1 is passed.  Two more issues are forthcoming shortly.  One deals with waiver numbers and end of season issues, the other deals with our waiver system after the trade deadline.

We received multiple requests regarding minor league slots, but the consensus of the Circle was that our current rule works just fine and does what it was designed to do: force teams with an excess of talent to shed some of it.

Please continue to pay attention to voting.

Depends on who it is.  You?  No.

As one Circle member said, a coma is about the only excuse for not checking the board in 7-9 days.

aye (late) i would have suggested keeping it consistent...having the 7 days start with the first appearance/at bat...  ...I thought that was a rule before...maybe it changed...

I know it's irrelevant now but I want to feel included so 'aye' from me as well.
