[USML Announce] Roster Question

[Richard Robbins]

That's not correct Jim.  Take a look at the proviso to the third sentence
of Article XVI Section 2 of the Constitution:

 As used in this Article XVI, a "season" is understood to be a full season
or any fraction thereof. Thus, a player called up from the free agent pool
in the middle of the 1997 season and subsequently retained at the same
salary without being released in the 1998 season (even though he may have
been traded) enters his option year in the 1999 season and must be
released, signed at the same salary for an option year or signed to a
long-term contract no later than Roster Freeze Day for the 1999 season.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 16.2, the first "season"
of a player will not be deemed to occur until that player loses major
league rookie status or that player appears on the Active Roster of a
League team,* provided, however, that if a player with major league rookie
status who has appeared on the Active Roster of a League team is
subsequently selected in the Rotation Draft, his prior appearance on the
Active Roster of a League team shall be disregarded*. Thus, a minor league
player with major league rookie status acquired in the Rotation Draft in
1997 who is first activated to a major league roster in 2000 without being
activated by his League team and without losing his major league rookie
status will not be considered to have played his first season. If that
player is activated in the 2001 season by both his major league team and
his League team, then 2003 will be that player's option year (even if he
retains rookie status and spends all of the 2002 season in the minor
leagues).
