[USML Announce] Rookies

[Richard E. Robbins]

That makes sense.  Assuming that there are no objections, I'll update the
document once my team is out of contention and I'm on to other things --
which probably means that I'll do it next Sunday.

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?
