I know what the rule means. I didn't like it when it was put in after we drafted last year and I still don't like it. I only have 5 starters as it is and if Clemens doesn't sign until June like last year that will really hurt me. I think if they're on the disk they should be able to play. When the minimun usage rule was being voted in I said then that I would have trouble with pitching because I drafted according to no usage rules and no signed contract rules. Those are the rules we're playing by though, but I still don't like them.

What if Clemens never signs? Should a team be able to use a player that never even played a game during that season?
Also, how is playing Clemens any different than playing a guy whose injured/inactive?

I think if a player is on the disk he should be able to play therfore inactive players wouldn't matter. Also, I think we should be using injuries in DMB not actual injuries. All these rules weren't in place when we originally drafted and they really affected my team, especially my pitching. I drafted pitchers (SP's & RP's) with great numbers, but some only had like 10 IP's, which was within the rules, and now I can't use them. I would have never drafted Clemens had I known I couldn't use him for half the year because he had not signed or the other players I drafted and couldn't use because they were inactive. This is all I'm saying and it's not something I didn't say last year when these rules were put in place. But, these are the rules we're playing by and I will play by them. It doesn't mean I have to like them and I don't, but I'll do the best I can with what I have.

However, that is the way the rules are, and I will live with them.

I won the inaugural season because my 10 IP pitchers had great numbers and I could use them all season. I will not repeat as champion because of my pitching. The only reason my team is doing as well as it is in the winter league is because there's no restrictions on pitchers. But, enough of this jibber-jabber. I made one simple statement and now I've made 3 big posts. Lets get on with the winter league and season 2.

So when (if) Clemens signs, or any other free agent, are they eligible to be activated in this league upon signing, or after the probable minor league stint is up and they are activated by their MLB team? I'm assuming they can be activated immediately, but just curious as we'll need clarification now before the time actually comes.

I distinctly remember when George drafted Clemens during the first player draft of the league...somebody said "you better hope he signs"...From that moment on, I assumed only players with contracts (major leagues or minor leagues) are eligible to play.
Otherwise guys like Jeff Bagwell, Brad Radke, etc who retired, but might make the disc would be eligible, which just doesn't seem right to me.

Once they sign a contract they are eligible.

I'm just trying to clear up the rules. Are we implementing the below rule for this coming season?
2. Playing time:
A. No position players with less than 100 at bats or pitchers with less than 25 innings allowed on the active roster until September 1.

Good question, seems pretty reasonable setting the 100 ab /25 inning until Sept 1

No position players with less than 100 at bats or pitchers with less than 25 innings allowed on the active roster until September 1. I believe this is the first I have heard of this proposed rule and, at first glance, I certainly am not in favor of it of implementing it for next season. Particularly with 3 weeks to go until the season starts. I have selected players that I (correctly) believed would be in the SIM without regard to this newly proposed restriction. Examples of players I would not be able to use , even as injury replacements, include Jack Cust (59 AB), Eric Patterson (67), Nolan Reimold (67), Justin Towles (68) , Chris Coste (69), Ryan Sweeney (85), Felix Pie (92), Humberto Quintero (94), Nick Masset (16.2 IP), Tyler Yates (16.2), Kyle Yates (17.2), Greg Smith (18.1) and Wade Davis (18.2).

Let me clear this up. This was for WINTER LEAGUE that it was brought up. No such restrictions were meant for the regular season. Put this one to bed! I would like to propose the following special rules for the "Winter Season"Assuming we are playing last season's schedule: 1. Roster Limits: 25 players on active roster until September 1, 35 players after Sept. 1. 2. Playing time: A. No position players with less than 100 at bats or pitchers with less than 25 innings allowed on the active roster until September 1. B. No players without DMB ratings allowed on active roster at any time 3. Injuries Injuries set to "random"
