With rosters updated following the Amateur Draft, Post-Draft Additions may now begin. They may continue until one week after the conclusion of our World Series. Last year we were a bit lenient allowing teams to submit their additions late, but we will not be lenient this year, with the possible exception of replacement GMs.
During Post-Draft Additions, teams have the opportunity to roster up to 6 prospects from their own system who do not appear on any team's official roster.
Post-draft addition players must meet the following criteria:
1) The player must have been draft eligible this year. In other words:
- The player had not earned a full year of service time prior to the 2012 season
- The player was an international free agent during this calendar year if age 24 or older on January 1
- The player was a professional baseball player in the USA at some point during this year's amateur draft (if the player was signed after the draft concluded, and prior to that was not a professional player, he is ineligible).
2) The player must be under contract with your respective mlb team (i.e. you can't take players from other team's systems and you can't take a player who didn't sign a contract with your team). Drafted players who did not sign are ineligible for post-draft additions.
Teams may only add players if they are under the roster limit and cap exception. No team may exceed 70 players on their roster or $107.4 million in salary.
The format for post-draft additions should be as follows:
Team A adds
1. George Washington, OF
2. John Adams, P
3. Thomas Jefferson, 1B
4. James Madison, SS/2B
5. James Monroe, P
6. John Q. Adams, C
Please include positions, it really is a pain for me to look them up.
Also, please make only 1 post per team. Once you post your additions, they are final so please do not edit them (it gets too chaotic to follow when people post a list and then post changes so only post when you're sure of who you want). If at some point you do wish to change your selections, PM me and I will consider allowing it.
If you discover a player you or someone else has added is actually on another team's roster already, please send a pm notifying me and I will take care of the issue with the GM in question.
If you have any questions, as always, please don't hesitate to contact one of the commissioners.
Look at your current roster on the Official Rosters page. If you are currently listed as having either a red salary (over $107.4 million) or a red player total (over 70 players), you have ONE WEEK FROM TODAY to rectify the situation of you will forfeit your right to make Post-Draft Additions this season. You will also forfeit your Rule V Draft Pick. I will be notifying these GMs by PM as well later today. Tentative trades are an acceptable way to get below the limits, but only as far as getting you back below cap/limit, not as a way of clearing additional space to add more players. For example, you can use a tentative trade to get back down to 70 players and $107.4 million in order to avoid the penalty, but in order to use your post-draft additions or add players in any other way (free agency, waivers, etc), you'll have to make additional cuts.
