MLB: 2+2 (small stakes) Dynasty Fantasy Baseball League Interest/Discussion thread - Page 201 - Fantasy Sports -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

According to the rules I saw it was 130 at-bats, 50 innings, or 20 games in relief before the start of this season.

With just 19 at-bats for Hamilton and 24 innings pitched for Paxton I assume you can stash both this year?

Actually I have a somewhat related question - I have Tyler Thornburg who now has 88 career innings pitched in the majors. The Garza signing probably pushes him out of the rotation. Its unlikely (I assume he's going to stay with the Brewers in their bullpen), but if he starts the season in the minors my understanding is I can continue to stash him as a minor league player? When do I have to make this decision?

Correct. Rosters are locked during the free agent auction, but open up again afterward. Since Thornburg is eligible for mandatory promotion this season, he'll take up a roster spot until his real-life MLB team officially sends him down to the minors. Let us know if that happens so we can adjust your roster.

Brandon Phillips (3rd year, $131) and Kendrys Morales (5th year, $47) are also available for the standard stuff a team rebuilding is looking for.

Also I would say it is unlikely I do anything .. but I will consider any offer for the first pick in this year's rookie draft if it helps me long-term.

But how about guys like James Paxton, who may or may not make the team but played at the end of last year?

Checked the rules and didn't see when we are obligated to call guys up.

1) A rookie is defined as any player with less than 130 ABs, 50 IP, or 20 games in relief before the start of the regular season.

1) A minor league player is any player that qualifies as a rookie or begins the season in the minor leagues in real life (IRL). Minor leaguers may be retained on a team’s minor league roster for as long as they are eligible to be there.

8) Teams may have only active MLB players on their roster. Thus, teams cannot hide a rookie or minor leaguer on their active roster unless that player is called up IRL. If the player is called up IRL (even briefly) and is promoted to a fantasy team’s active roster, the player must stay there for the rest of the season. However, if that player starts the next season in the minors IRL, they may revert back to the fantasy minors regardless of rookie status (see also, Rule 2 – “Minor League System”).

[Correction] - Hamilton is currently listed on the Reds' 25-man roster, so technically he's a mandatory call-up. I'd just assume he's going to be promoted this year.

Paxton only has 24 IP (all as a starter), but he is on Seattle's 25-man roster. Same situation as Hamilton, but keep an eye on those two in Spring Training to see if they're demoted. At that point, you can demote him in fantasy as well.

If he starts the regular season in the minors, you don't have to call him up.

If Weiland is really out of baseball, feel free to cut him before the draft starts (won't count against you).

it does appear weiland is out of baseball... and i promoted him by mistake only has 40 IP. fixed now. Trayvon got 319 PA though, and should have been promoted last year, but i missed him.

hamilton and paxton can be stashed another year.

if they dont have 130 ab's or 50 ip going into this year, you don't have to activate them.

if they reach one of those milestones during the year, you have to call them up the following year, or any time before if you want to call them up, but you are obligated the following season.

Right, so as long as they are still a rookie by our standards they can stay down.

The second part of that list reads like the most disappointing pack of baseball cards ever.
