Rules Passed at the 01.18.02 Winter Meeting As the great Steve Swinea once scrawled, any loophole because of poor phrasing is not really a loophole at all New SL members shall immediately become voting members. If a team's final available reliever of a game is injured or ejected, the starting pitcher from 2 games previous is eligible to relieve. If the starting pitcher replacing the last available reliever gets hurt, your DH must pitch. Participants of each playoff series will decide who drives, with the home team having the first option. Starting pitchers are announced before lineups are entered in each playoff game. The visiting team announces their pitcher first. Free Agents pickups are limited to 75% of their MLB games played and 75% of their MLB CF games played. In the event of a regular season usage rule infraction that occurs for a playoff team, that team and the first round opponent will decide by gentlemen's agreement if any additional usage limitation should be placed on the offending player or players. Any time after a team has clinched a playoff spot, that team may add up to 2 free agent starting pitchers with at least 21 MLB games started to their rotations. Benched pitchers are ineligible until the playoffs. Disallow players who have used all of their alloted steal attempts to be on the back-end of a double or triple steal where no play can be made upon them. When teams have used up all of their eligibility at a position, they must pick up a free agent. The free agent cannot attempt to steal or be hit and run with, must be a J-0, J-1 or J-2 (if no J-0, J-1 or J-2s available, then J-3), and, if the pick-up is to play CF, the free agent must have played a minimum of 30 MLB CF games.
