LOL, I was just coming here to say we are going to go through every prospect to see if they qualify to remain on the prosepct list. Those who don't will be taken off the prospect list and will be put on that player's team so he may use one of his keeper slots on him if he wishes.
Before the season at the keeper deadline and then again at the prospect keeper draft deadline, 7 days before the draft (8 days before the ASG), all hitters must have less than 300 ABs (400 if drafted in Rds 1-5) and pitchers less than 110 IP (100 if drafted in Rds 1-5) or 40 GP (50 if drafted in Rds 1-5) or they must be moved to your active roster or released. Managers must monitor their own prospects. If they are later to have found to be over the max. at that deadline, the player will be immediately removed as a prospect and put on waivers.
As the rules apply to Ian Stewart, bmd is correct. He was drafted in round 3 and is grandfathered under the original rules. He has been called up twice and since he has not hit the AB threshold, he is entitled to be sent down (salary added) after last season. The next time he is called up, he will lose his prospect status (or hits 400 ABs while and not called up at our midseason deadline).

When the site wipes all non-keepers it also wipes all salaries. So we will ahve to re-add them before the draft. It doubles the work, but w/o a taxi squad or anything to save them--the only other way is to manually add and drop players.

I am looking to deal Elvis Andrus or David Price. You'll be able to keep those guys without using up a keeper.
I'm also looking to trade Ryan Theriot. A middle infielder with speed.

I haven't decided who my 9 keepers will be just yet. I have at least 15 guys I'm choosing from--though I have since narrowed it down to less than that at this point. I've had discussions but have made no offers yet nor countered anyone yet because it is so wide-open on my final 9 at this point.
I have pretty much decided that I can't keep three closers--so thta would mean that F. Cordero will likely be traded. Still trying to figure out about Hafner, Headley, Ibanez, etc.

Species and I have went through all prospects.
We've added salaries to about 15-20 guys--including guys who were called up but still have prospect eligibility.
There are about 7 guys who were very close to hitting the threshold but still legal (Kershaw was 2.3 IPs away for instance).
In the end, we didn't find any players who had lost their prospect eligibility.

I went ahead and put the keeper policy on the site. As of now the keepers will be due by end of day Sun 3/22. We have 9 keepers.
I am going to try and figure out if we can add our prosepcts to the keeper total to see if we don't have to re-assign the salaries. My guess is that we will keep it as is and re-add salaries to all prospects on Mon 3/23.
Man a taxi squad like the added for football would be great for our prospects. But I've asked for that for 6 seasons at least and they've refused to listen. Wish I could get a message to the programmers instead of the lame support staff at CBS.
As it stands now, Draft would start sometime around Noon on Tues. March 24th.

Talking it over, we may put prospects on the team and add them to your keepers. You can only keep 9 plus your prospects. The most anyone has is 4 so it would be 13 max for bh, less than that for the rest of us. Then we could jsut keep them on our teams through the draft to make that easier as well. Still your draft would be over once you hit 23 regular players. Just easier to do it this way then have to find the players and add salary all over again.

As you can imagine, lots of people are asking about Price. And that makes sense - we all saw him in the ALCS. And you don't have to drop anyone to keep him. So I'm looking for someone who would be the cornerstone of my franchise, someone who will team with Braun to bring home the bacon for a long time.

I have had some inquiries but I haven't even decided who I am keeping for sure. Injuries and depth chart is ahaky for some.
As of now here is were I am:
Keeping
DLee 1b
Roberts 2b
Hanley SS
Manny OF
Soria RP
Marmol or F. Cordero RP
Keeping 3 of these players and at least 2 will likely be SP:
Shoppach C
Hafner DH
Headley OF
Cantu 1b/3b
Ibanez OF
Marmol or F. Cordero RP
E. Santana SP
J. Weaver SP
C. Zambrano SP
Pelfrey SP
I will consider 2 for 1s or even 3 for 1s or possibly draft picks--depending on the player.

Post 59:
So the season starts 11 day later this year. Last year's draft took just over 9 days for the 14 rounds and 280 picks. So we can likely start the draft somewhere around the 23rd or 24th with keepers due a couple days before that. Probably would not have Keepers due on a Fri or Sat. So perhaps even they could be due at 11:59 pm on a Sunday night for a Tuesday the 24th start date? However the 24th is the last possible date we should start. If it takes say 10 days, we could get Waivers run one full time before opening day. There are only two games that day.
We should finalize keeper due dates and draft start. Is there a reason Friday keepers is somehow undesirable? Why not have Keepers Friday and start the draft on Sunday or Monday?

We've had no responses about the plaque [34]. Also no rule change proposals have been made. Anything affecting the players, prospects (also can be made before midseason deadline), game, etc. need to be made before keepers are due.

I sensed that bj21 was going to leave most of the team
responsibility to me due to his time constraints and I am
prepared to declare keepers on time and have been prepping for
the daft. As a member of G24, I'm well aware of how fast the
draft will move. I don't anticipate any problems.
Please keep bj21 on as co-owner, at least for a while, as I'm
moving in mid to late April. I'll be arranging for a seamless
transition with internet access and the like, but the local cable
high speed internet service provider is not known for their great
customer service.

Because Species sent two prospect along with Wells for Chipper, I needed to add another keeper spot and a roster spot for GL's prospects for keeper/draft purposes only. No rules are being changed.

I got a couple inquiries about Price and Andrus, who weren't kept. Both are prospects according to these rules.

Guru and I have discussed it and we have made an executive decision to abandon the traveling plaque in this league like we have done in our other leagues. In the other two, we purchase a bobblehead for teh champ which is drop shipped from the company with the winner's info engraved on it. We just ask that the winner take a pic of it and email it to me.
In this league we have gotten a free league bobblehead as part of our early bird special entry fee. So it only costs us shipping to the winner. We have money on file from past year(s), so our dues would only have to cover the site nad the prize pool. Since the shipping will be pretty close to the same every season, Guru will have a much easier time figuring out how much to assess each of us. Having the funds combine now should make things a little easier for him and save everyone at least a buck or two/year.
If CBS stops sending us the bobblehead, we can start dropshipping the bobblehead like we do the other sites.
