Demotions/Promotions:
When an owner wants to send a player to his minor league system, he has three possible options for doing so:
1. Waivers – any player except Franchised players can be put on waivers. If they are not claimed within 48 hours, they then enter the minor league system of the original team. That team is still responsible for that player’s salary. If the player is claimed, then the team with the worst current record (if after June 1) or worst record in the previous season (if before June 1 or in the off-season) will win the rights to that player, assume his contract, etc.
2. Rookie Rule – If a player has not acquired 50 IP or 130 ABs (in their entire career), then they may be sent down without being exposed to waivers. The transaction must still be posted, as well as the number of ABs or IP that the player has thus far achieved.
3. Waiver Pass – Each calendar year, every team will be given 5 waiver passes (they do not carry over each year). Waiver passes can be used on any player that an owner does not want to expose to waivers. There is a special section of the board to post waiver passes, and all of these transactions must be posted.
Promotions:
When an owner wants to promote a player, he must post the transaction. That player then takes up a space on the active roster. If the player has not been called up before, he receives a salary of $300,000, which counts against your total salary cap. He will not be assigned a Free Agent year until he passes the Rookie threshold of 50 IP or 130 AB. Once a player crosses 50 IP or 130 AB, they will receive a contract of $300,000 (20XX) <5 years after they pass it, so for example Johnny Bench gets 130 AB in 2008, his contract would be $300,000 (2013)
2009 = 2014
2010 = 2015
2011 = 2016
2012 = 2017
2013 = 2018
2014 = 2019
