After the auction if you have a player that is certain to start the season on the DL you can ask a commissioner to have that player placed on your DL. This means that when we open up the waiver wire you will be able to replace that player on your active roster with another guy. You don't have to wait until the season starts. We use www.rosterresource.com to identify injured players. There is no human(commissioner) discretion. That website has a team page for all of the major league squads. On each individual team page there is a Projected Disabled List area. If the player is listed there he can be put on your DL before the season starts. If he isn't listed he can't. |

Does the same theory apply to minor league eligible players who are slated to start the season on the full MLB roster, per rosterresource? There are always a good few players who are under the rookie limits but who begin the season in the majors each year.
Would you still have to draft all 25 spots in the auction and then drop a major leaguer (thus incurring a cap penalty) to promote them, or if you intended the player to begin the season on your major league roster, and he was slated to be on the 25 man roster on rosterresource, could you effectively promote him straight after the minor league auction and have that spot filled before the auction got underway if you wanted? (Or, potentially, leave a space on your 25 man roster to decide later, then either promote him or just pick up someone off waivers to fill that spot should you decide against it, before the start of the season?)
If so, would their five year contract be mandatory at that point, and come off the 75 year cap?

Great question. You will have the opportunity to promote players won in the minor league draft before the auction. Whether that will come off the 75-year cap, I'll have to talk to Andy as I forget how we went about it in our other league. Since 75years/25 roster spots = 3years/spot average, my thought would be to mark the cap down by 3 total years for each player promoted. We'll get an answer quickly though.

Agree with Ryan. The best way to handle that would be to take 3 years off of the 75 year total for each minor leaguer that you call up prior to the auction. Every year teams will call up players prior to the auction. Those players don't have to be projected on the roster resource site as it is completely up to each owner. The roster resource site is used solely for preseason injury designations.
In the twin league we didn't have anyone ask that question, so it wasn't an issue that needed to be dealt with because no one attempted to do so for the initial auction. I won't outline it hear, but I will create a new thread to discuss the roster make up for the auction.
