The force to the MLB roster during a trade incentives true farming by fantasy GMs.
The original EDR concept was the value of most players in the draft are not worthy of being rostered given our league setup, but we wanted to maintain a strong entry draft. As such, we made strict rules to preserve the value of players you draft. That's the basis behind the current EDR rules.
We have strict rules about contract obligations and releasing players, wouldn't it make more sense to have to drop a 40 man roster player if, and when an EDR is promoted?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this comment - you can choose either to cut the promoted EDR player or make room for him on your 40-man roster (by cutting or trading one of those players)
Doesn't mean he has to cut an EDR, maybe he promotes one who he thinks is nearer promotion to the big leagues and adds him to his 40 man roster instead of losing him--the difference is that is the Brewers choice and not mandated like it is under our present rules.
A team can choose to call up a player from their EDR before he makes his major league debut. The rule only states that as soon as a player makes a debut he must be called up so that players don't sit in a teams EDR. During the draft a team could choose to call up a person from the EDR to their 40 man roster to open up a roster spot on their EDR for a drafted player.Shooter
