Rules |
|
|
|
Draft |
|
|
|
A 5 round draft will be held for all players that belong to the 10 unowned teams |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Draft order will be determined by team payrolls, with the lowest payroll picking first. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Draft picks can be traded for players or other picks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Teams will have a period of 2 days to make their selection. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Failure to make a selection within the 2 day period will cause a team to move 1 spot down for that round. For example, picks 9 and 10 would switch places. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any player picked up as a free agent during the season must stay on the big league roster, regardless of salary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a team drops a player, they must eat his salary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any unlisted minor leaguer that is brought up to the major league roster can be used at a price of $300,000. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once all 20 teams are in place, all current contracts will remain the same regardless of real life changes. (EXCEPT for players with less than 5 years experience -- see EXTENSIONS.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Player salaries will not fluctuate DURING a contract. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Free Agents |
|
|
|
A list will be posted of all the remaining free agents. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current best offer will be put next to the free agent's name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the top offer has not been beaten for 2 days, it becomes an official contract. |
|
|
|
|
|
For a team to outbid the current offer, they must must do so by a minimum of $500,000. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extensions |
|
|
|
For players with 5+ years major league service: Teams can extend their contracts at a price of 120% of their current salary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For players with less than 5 years experience: When they reach the 5 year mark and become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in their career, (Barry Zito is an example from this past offseason) their current team has the right to resign them at the real life contract they receive. Otherwise the player will become a free agent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance Consequences |
|
|
|
Teams salary caps will flucuate from year to year, depending upon their performance in relation to their initial salary rank. For every spot a team finishes that is higher than their initial payroll ranking, they will gain $3 million. For every spot a team finishes that is lower than their initial team payroll ranking, they will lose $3 million. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example: The Florida Marlins rank 20th with a $14 million + payroll. So if they were to finish 12th, which is 8 spots better, they would be rewarded with $24 million (3x8) for a total of $38 milllion (14 + 24) for next season's team salary. |
