This is a dynasty league and not a keeper league.
What this entails is this:
1. You keep all players on your team after the year that are NOT Free Agents after the World Series. If a player signs an extension before the completion of the World Series, you will retain that player. If not, he is a Free Agent.
2. All Free Agents after the World Series will become Free Agent in our league unless you use a franchise tag on them (you will want to tag players that are going to be FA in the offseason and you may tag a different player each season).
3. You are allowed one Franchise Tag per offseason and the player's salary will be 1.5 times the amount on the new deal that he signs.
EX. If you tag Matt Holliday and he signs for 1Y for $20 mill in real life. THen his salary on here (IF TAGGED) will be $30 mill.
4. Each year you get a chance to franchise a player. You DO NOT have to franchise a player.
5. This rule goes for ALL transactions. Any drop, bid on a Free Agent, guy you decide to franchise (or not franchise), prospect you decide to keep or drop in the offseason, players over limits guy you decide to keep or drop, and anything else is set in stone as soon as you post. It doesnt matter if you think it is a bad decision or whatever the excuse is. Whenever you post about a transaction, you are under an unwritten contract clause in DBL. Any violation of this will result in a loss of your top Rookie pick (if no rookie pick, we will go to minor league pick and then FA pick). This will most likely only come into effect when a person post something about a player (franchise, free agent, etc), and then deletes the post.
6. During the playoffs there WILL BE NO TRANSACTIONS. Unless you have a player that is out for the rest of the year. In that case you CAN add another player and drop the hurt player. You will get that player back after the DBL World Series. This is so you dont have players who just eat your team alive because they do not do anything. Also, you can still activate guys from your DL which may cause you to drop someone.
Scoring:
1. Scoring will be head-to-head.
2. We will have 4 divisions, with each division winner making the playoffs and 2 wild card teams as well (6 teams total).
3. Categories will go as follows:
Hitters: AVG, R, SB, HR, RBI, BB, XBH
Pitchers: QS, W, K, ERA, WHIP, HD, SV
Prospects:
1. You may trade prospects however you would like. There is no limit on the number of prospects you can have on your team.
2. You have three bench spots specifically for calling up your prospects (Minor League Bench); players on your Major League Roster can NOT be placed on the Minor League Bench.
3. Once you call up a prospect, they will count as $.5 million on your salary cap whether you keep them up all year or send them back down.
4. You may put your prospects on your normal bench spots as well, but once you do you will not be able to send them back down for the rest of the year.
5. Once a player reaches the 130AB/50 inning minimum, you will NOT be forced to call them up until after the season.
6. At the end of the season, if you have a prospect above this minimum, you will have to either move them up to your big league roster or drop them. If your roster is full then you will have to decide between dropping either the prospect or a player from your team.
7. Minor League Players can only be acquired via trades and drafts. You may add minor league players to your major league roster, but you cannot send them down to the minors.
More to be added on later if needed
