Bonus
Points - New to 2002
|
For the first time, bonus points will be awarded to teams
whose hitters or pitchers perform rare feats opposite their specialties.
So, pitchers on your pitching roster will be awarded bonus points
for rare hitting feats and hitters on your hitting roster will
be awarded bonus points for rare pitching feats. (Note: You cannot
put Mike Hampton on your hitting roster since his specialty is
giving up home runs, not hitting them!)

Disabled List Trades - Updated

This year, owners will be allowed to make up to two
(2) 15- or 60-day disabled list (DL) trades. You can only trade
players that have gone on the official Major League Baseball
Disabled List or
players that, within two weeks of the end of the regular season,
have been designated as "out for season." A
DL trade is in effect one day after you notify Pedregoso Rios
(by e-mail only) with a copy to Rube Furrow. DL trades are not
retroactive to the date the player went on the Disabled List
or was designated as "out for season.".
You will receive the "to date" stats of the
player that you trade and the remaining season stats of the player
you trade for.

. 15-day DL Trade = $15
. 60-day DL Trade
= $10

The
Rube Clause
|
The Rube Clause can be summarized
thusly: What Commissioner Rube Furrow says, goes. That means
that, despite our best efforts to rule fairly, give payouts justly,
and make sure league owners are happy campers, Commissioner Rube
Furrow's word is the final word when it comes to any disputes,
complaints, statistical anomalies, and payouts. For
additional disclaimers, click here. |
