You knew it was coming, yet you STILL signed up for another season. Beginning Wednesday, September 1st, Mocksport's stretch run rules take effect. Here is the language from our rules, with some annotation:
5.11.1 Autowaivers are not applicable during this period. Players on the reserve list may remain there for the balance of the season.
This means that you will no longer have to activate a player within 10 days of promotion/activation. He can remain on your reserve roster for the rest of the season if you so choose.
5.12.2 Players on a team’s active roster may be reserved without cause, provided a reserve list player who is on an active roster in the appropriate league is activated. Such transactions do not result in a charge.
This provision allows you to move a player you already own from reserved to active (or vice versa) on a daily basis. Please note that the player activated under this clause MUST be active in MLB in order for you to avoid a charged transaction.
5.11.3 Free agents can be claimed and added to a team’s active roster or reserve list, in two situations:
a) When reserving a player who has been removed from the active roster of the applicable MLB League, a free agent can be claimed without a charge.
No change here from the regular season rules - you can still replace a player who has been demoted, released, or placed on the IL as usual.
b) When releasing a player who has not been removed from the active roster of the applicable MLB League, a free agent can be claimed as a charge.
Again, no change from regular season rules - you can drop a player for any reason, as long as you still have one of your two weekly charges left.
Note that this clause does NOT allow you to release an inactive player whom you have already reserved to claim a new player.[/ul]
Past practice has allowed owners and LAs to short-cut the waive-and-claim process for reserved players in situations in which the players involved are not eligible at the same position. That is, if you have, for example, a pitcher on your reserve list who has been activated in MLB but not yet activated on your team, you can waive that player directly from reserve and claim a new (MLB-active) player AT ANY POSITION - pitcher or hitter - to your reserve list. Trust me - the LAs either understand this or are practiced at pretending that they do.
