[USML Announce] Rookies

[MBBlocker at aol.com]

Rich and others:
 
  To avoid these sorts of questions in the future, I would suggest  that we 
revise the constitution to reflect the rules that we apply for  pre-opening day 
drafts.  We have now used these rules for two straight  years, so they are 
almost in the nature of by-laws anyway.   Given the  likelihood we will have to 
conduct pre-opening day drafts in the future for  scheduling reasons, I think 
it will be helpful to have these rules incorporated  before they are 
forgotten.  Does anyone disagree with this?

Nope -- Here is the  rule we applied last year and that has previously been 
circulated, without  objection, for use this year.
 
Freeze Rosters and Slotting:  Players who  currently have USML rookie status 
will be treated as rookie-eligibles for  freeze list and slotting purposes, 
regardless of expected Major League  status.  This means they may be retained as 
"plus three" players on  Roster Freeze Day and will be "slotted down" to the 
reserve rosters for  the auction draft.  All non-rookies retained on freeze  
lists will be "slotted up" for the auction draft, regardless of expected  Major 
League status.

With rookies purchased in last  year?s auction (i.e., guy?s like the GOP?s 
Delmon Young, McPherson, etc.),  am I correct that the owner can ?slot? the 
players on the reserve roster  even though we count the salary and contract  
year?
