There have been a few inactive GM's that I will be looking to replace. People have started asking about whether they can switch teams if they like one of the inactive teams. I'm not opposed to this, but if we do allow this, there needs to be a fair procedure (which I'm having a very difficult time thinking of). Anybody have any ideas?

This topic has been moved to AFB - Official Rosters.

EXISTING RULES:
1. All players on 40 man roster accrue service time.
2. Service time in accrued in units of years, not days.
3. Unlimited option years. Players can be on 40 man roster and in the minors for as many years as he is under control by the organization.
4. Player transactions for promotions and demotions between 25 man roster and 40 man roster not tracked by AFB.

PROPOSED RULES:
1. All players on 25 man roster accrue service time.
2. Service time is accrued in units of days.
3. Unchanged.
4. All organizations must report any player promotion or demotion between the 25 man roster and the 40 man roster. This will allow for the Commissioner’s Office to track service time.

REASON:
This is more in line with MLB rules. This wasn’t done previously because I had no way of tracking service time for the MLB players for the 2011 season, so I had to use 1 full service year for anybody on the 40 man roster. Now that we control everything, it is easier for me to track service time the way it was meant to be tracked.

This will require minimally more work.

Since I’m considering this to be a minor rule change and it will not affect anything that has been done so far, I will not require a full league vote. However, I will listen to any feedback you guys may have on this.

Time to break the ice!

Feel free to introduce yourself in this thread. I know we have a very diverse group of people here based on the conversations I've had with you guys. We have a Dutchman, a Frenchman, a former minor league baseball player, an American living in Cambodia, some younger, some older, some who are familiar with these types of leagues, and others who are going to be doing this for the first time. I'm excited to be running this league.

Yes I know, it's a little corny, but hey, it's a chance for us to get to know one another in this little community.


I'm Kenny, 25, AFB commissioner. Been playing fantasy baseball and football on and off since about 2000. Favorite team is the Mets! I was a civil engineering major in college and am now working as a construction superintendent at the World Trade Center in NYC. Photography is something I enjoy doing and have been spending more and more time on it the past few years.
