by 3/1, we all cut down to our 8 major league keepers. later that day, or very soon thereafter...w/ the 8 keepers set...i'll be making the major league draft order/thread.
the draft order/length will be based upon how many roster spots each team needs to fill at that point in time...counting the 8 keepers and any GmLs. so if you have 8 keepers and 4 GmLs, you'll need 13 draft picks to get to 25 major leaguers. or if you have 8 keepers and 7 GmLs, you'll need 10 draft picks to get to 25 major leaguers.
furthermore, depending upon the traded draft picks already in place, etc, that will set the draft. so in that 1st example, you won't have a 14th round pick...to draft or to trade...as the 25 will have already been reached in the previous round. however, if you had already acquired an extra 3rd round pick (in that same example)...you wouldn't have a 13th round pick either...as you would've reached the 25 limit early, due to the previously added draft pick.
also...if you make a major league move (via trade) sometime after the keepers are set, and the draft order has therefore already been set as well...yet it's before the draft actually takes place, leaving you a major leaguer short after the fact...you will then get a make up pick (to fill your roster to 25 still) at the end of the major league draft. so plan accordingly.

make sure to adjust your rosters appropriately PRIOR to 3/1.
this pertains to GmLs that were promoted early, yet the intention was to move them back to the minor league roster.
you do not want to lose major league draft picks as a result. so please make your moves on time.
also...because many teams "over-drafted" minor leaguers by taking the leeway provided a bit too far...no minor league additions will be allowed following the conclusion of the minor league draft.
once these teams set their rosters on 3/1, there will be quite a few minor league names made available via cuts. to keep it fair, with all teams having an equal shot, a date & time will be announced when any team can freely make minor league moves again (drop/adds).

posting this again/here...
please DO NOT abuse the leeway between now and 3/1, in terms of holding extra assets and then trying to unload them/upgrade elsewhere.
there was a bit of leeway given to all teams pre-minor league draft. the intention was so owners could make an early promotion or two, then decide if there was a better minor leaguer available in the draft. the teams that acted accordingly were following the spirit of that...they were acting in good faith.
some teams took that a bit far, promoting way too many minor leaguers pre-draft...knowing full well that they'd have to make significant changes prior to 3/1 and the major league draft being set. if the "extra" assets are cut, then it's fine...no blood, no foul. but if they're used to make deals...well, that's acting in bad faith...that's not playing w/in the spirit of things.
the reason is simple...by abusing the leeway given, the playing field is not level with the team that operated in good faith. in other words, it's a way to have quite a few extra minor league assets temporarily...then attempt to turn a bunch of them into something way better then they would've otherwise had or been able to do.
that was obviously never the intention of things. so if that happens, chances are it won't go thru. and chances are high that the result would be no leeway in following years, in order to avoid such abuses/these situations entirely.
anyhow, hopefully that makes sense. not picking on any teams. just throwing this out there before (or in case) anything unsavory happens. as always, be smart about the moves you make.

uno mas...unrelated topic though.
if interested...now (not necessarily here) would be the time to think about (and discuss) any roster expansions for 2012...major &/or minor.
as the league goes on...year by year, all of our rosters will be growing. they can't be unlimited...we can't remove managerial decisions...but that said, you will see the effects this season...having only gone thru 2 minor league drafts so far, and the GmLs they've delivered.
food for thought.

IMO the rosters should stay the same size
force a little bit more roster turnover as we go forward

alright...
gonna update all the individual threads tonight, and begin work on the draft. fwiw, the draft is set though...based upon how many picks are needed.
might also get around to posting the cuts. either way...plan on minor league drops/adds becoming available again at noon eastern on Friday 3/4.
any cut GmLs lost their free years. if it was a player who truly graduated, they'll be available in the major league draft. if it was a prospect who was prematurely promoted, and not truly a GmL, they'll be available via minor league drop/adds (like anybody else) on a 1st come, 1st served basis after noon on Friday 3/4.
any questions...post them here. but should be pretty straight forward.
we're also all on a level playing field again, as we were all of last yr...so things should return to normal moving forward.

not going to list all who were cut. they're posted in the individual threads, if interested. too much work, lol.
anyhow...to confirm...minor league drop/adds can begin on Friday 3/4 at noon eastern time.
true Gmls lost their years. true prospects (promoted early) can be added like a normal minor leaguer.

oh, and draft picks...
when many future draft picks were dealt, it wasn't known if they'd be needed...as so many graduated after the year/etc.
each team can only use/have the draft picks they need. so if they need 14 players, their draft will be complete whenever that # is reached...even if there are added picks left on the table.
conversely, if you dealt for picks...and the other owner isn't drafting that deep...you are not affected. you still own that pick in that round. so as long as your majors aren't at 25 yet, the pick is still yours to utilize. just confirming that...the the team adding picks, if they are needed, is not penalized in any way.

7 teams have just over 6 hours left to submit keepers. Same goes for all in terms of early promotions/etc.

Thanks for getting everything posted, guys. Posting this here too.
Ok, it's 3/2. No more changes to rosters for a bit. The MLB draft...order & length...is set.
Until after the MLB draft is complete, and the waiver wire is open on yahoo...unless there's a trade, of course:
- the 8 keepers are set. - the GmLs are set. if it applies, they can be moved back & forth between the GmL list and the minor roster...but no one may be dropped. - the 15 minors are set. same as above, if it applies.
Only trades should change rosters until the MLB draft is over, and the waiver wire is open. That said, the # of draft picks is now set in stone. Trading a player does not give you an extra pick at the end of the draft. If you create a shortage, you will fill the spot with the waiver wire after everything is done. And obviously, you cannot trade a pick you don't have/own. So with any trades, the last pick someone had should go back the other way if there's an imbalance in the rosters that's created.
The reason minor league drop/adds are on hold is because many of the players out there could technically be drafted in the major league draft...and from this point forward, that's the priority. So rather than take it case-by-case, it's on hold as well until things are completed.
Any questions, just ask. And if i made any mistakes updating the rosters, please lmk. But for all intents & purposes, other than trades, just consider things in lockdown mode. Once the MLB draft is over, and the wire is open, then any desired changes can be made to your rosters. Thanks.
