POW.

this should be left up to the availability and discretion of the managers
involved same as during the regular season and no rule change was needed.
11.
Bozo pitchers - did not pass
Extra. Pat Jennings requested a change to when
the 162 stats were due. The constitution says they are due two weeks after the

1. There are a lots of
ones in our league so my idea is to give who win a gold glove and strat gives
them a one, this the changing to the fielding chart
Pitchers 1 and 2 g-3, 3-5
g2 and 6-20 g 1
Catchers 1-6 no change, 7-10 PO, 11-13 g 2 and 14-20 g 1
IF, 1-3 same, 4-20 g 1
OF 1-10 same and 11-20 F 3
2. Ghost player
a. Rescind the rule that was passed last year and just go back to a straight 15
man protected list that could include a ghost player.
b. Amend the rule
to say any team wishing to keep a 16th player (not just a ghost player) must
forfeit their 5th round pick or next higher pick if they don't have their 5th.
This will do what it is intended to do - give managers the chance to keep a
superstar if he gets injured, or a player they may really like while keeping the
draft pick compensation reasonable. Teams that choose not to keep a 16th player
will not be awarded an extra draft pick.
3. Protection of 17 players but
one of them MUST be a "ghost" player, defined as a player, carded or not, who
cannot play during that season.
4. Before every game, managers must
declare their stack of minors players and mention any intent to bring someone up
or send someone down during the series.
5. change the minimum number of
pitchers on each roster to 11 from 10 and that 1 must be a multi-inning
reliever. 11 pitchers for playoffs as well but would not require the
multi-inning guy.
6. Starters who have a relief POW to use that in the
playoffs. Those without a relief POW will assume a POW(1)
7. Any dotted
pitcher should be allowed to finish the inning he's in.
-- Starting
pitchers dotted before/during their point of weakness inning can only pitch to
the conclusion of their POW
inning. [DELETE] Starting pitchers dotted after
their point of weakness inning must immediately be removed from the game
[/DELETE]
8. Infield chart changes
- Infield Normal - Bases loaded
- GBA hit to 1B = DP (H-1B) - change to DP
- Infield Normal - Bases loaded -
GBA hit to 3B = DP (H-1B) - change to DP (3B - 1B)
- Infield Normal - Bases
Loaded - GBB hit to 1B = FC/HOME - change to FC
- Infield Normal - Bases
Loaded - GBB hit to 3B = FC/HOME - change to FC/3RD
- Infield Normal - 3rd or
2nd/3rd - GBB hit to 3B = FC/HOME - change to HOLD
9. reliever coming in
one inning and immediately getting a DP. If he starts the next inning he is
forced to face two batters which will dot him next game. Proposing if a reliever
is forced to go further than his POW due to a DP and minimum 3 batter rule, then
there is no penalty next game for pitching past his POW (as long as he
immediately exits after the 3rd batter).
10. In playoff if possible, the
best record team should host the games
11. Bozo pitchers
This a
good time to propose this since we have the relief rules
If a team is 10+
runs behind, in bottom of 8th or top of 9th.
You can bring in a regular
player to pitch
Rules considered 1 inning pitcher, balk, wild pitch 20-20
and +9 hold. He will throw what he does real. Defense 5 e 51.
The card
