Currently we have a 130 AB / 50 IP limits for the MiLB rosters. Once a player hits these limits, he must be called up to the MLB roster or risk losing him to waivers. Once the limit is hit, there is an email and post on the yahoo page stating that you have 24 hours to move said player. The only way a player can be sent to your minor leagues is if he is under the AB/IP limits or if he actually is in the minor leagues.
The proposed change would be to have player options instead. Player options would allow for any player to be sent to the minor leagues regardless of their actual status. You'll have 2 or 3 (depending on another vote, if this wins out) options per player. You'll have to post that you are using an option. If you don't you risk losing the player in waivers. At the end of the season we'd enforce the AB/IP limits so that managers can't sneak more the allowed 25 mlb keepers in the minor league rosters.

If we keep the 130 AB/50 IP limits, I would be in favor of expanding the window to promote/release the player to 48 hours.

question, if you have a player on your majors team that is over the ab/ip limits and he is sent down to minors in real life, would you have to use an option to send that player down? for example if you have used all of your allotted options on a player and he gets sent to the minors in real life, do you have the option of letting him waste a bench space or dropping him? just curious before I vote for this.

and a second question, if a player would use all their options and then get dropped. would the team who picks the player up have a full set of options on the player again? or is he optionless?

If we go the options route, you would have full control of your roster. You can send any player you want to the minor leagues (even if he's over the AB/IP limits) at anytime during the season. Or you can keep the player on your MLB squad and have him use up a bench spot if you don't want to use one of the players option. Once you use up all the options on a player. He'll hit the waiver wire and his options start back up at 0. question, if you have a player on your majors team that is over the ab/ip limits and he is sent down to minors in real life, would you have to use an option to send that player down? for example if you have used all of your allotted options on a player and he gets sent to the minors in real life, do you have the option of letting him waste a bench space or dropping him? just curious before I vote for this.

I'd be infavor of extending the add/promote window beyond 48 hours. maybe five days?
it's not so long as a week. and it gives those managers that work long weekend shifts the chance to pick up their guys because life exists outside of this league too sometimes.

I would like to extend to 48, i think 5 days is a bit excessive, but 24 hours is short

I am curious to see what happens with this issue. Every other weekend I go to work at 2:30 Friday afternoon and don't get off until 8:00 Monday morning. I do not have access to the internet while I am at work. Obviously this could have a big impact on my team if a player hits his limit during a Friday game.

Just keep up with things. If you notice he is about to hit his limit on exactly Fridays game, then pick him up before hand? Most all of us pay attention to that kind of thing, even other owners players. lol Im sure if you know he is getting close, and he could possibly hit his mark that day, you can just promote him before he hits it.

If I have a player who is close to the limits gets called up on Friday and plays, I lose him.

i think 48 hours is good if your player is close to the AB/IP Limits bring him up if he has been playing on a on a regular basis. don't wait till the 47 hours

Enough whining from me. I was just trying to bring up a possibility. I can and will abide by whatever is decided by the league.

Poll has been locked. We have a Majority Vote.
A follow up poll on how long you have to call up a player will be posted soon.
