[USML Announce] HATE TO BE A SNITCH

[Andrew R. Klein]

Buddha is correct.  Once a player loses MLB rookie status, he can't be 
slotted on the reserve roster for retention purposes.  I once proposed a 
rule to change this, once, but got shouted down!  Here's the language 
from our constitution:  "In addition to the players that a team may 
protect from its roster of Active and Reserve Roster players pursuant to 
Section 17.1 <http://www.usml.net/rules.html#Section%2017.1>, a team may 
also protect an additional three players on its Reserve Roster, 
/provided/, that such players have major league rookie status and have 
never been on the Active Roster of a League team _*(without regard to 
anticipated opening-day major league status)*_."

Speaking of shouted down, between Brad's various rants and insults, it 
appears as if my original proposal garnered 5 votes of support and 5 
votes opposed.  Gammons should be required to get off the fence and 
weigh in.
