Anthony Ramirez has recently resigned citing the expansion of MLFB as his reason. He has the D'Backs over at DME and has started a new league, so he felt someone else on the growing waiting list deserved a shot.The first to answer, and the most qualified and capable, was Lucas Lima (Lucas Lima #52). I have approved him taking over the GM duties for Arizona. Jake will update Fantrax and the Official Roster when all of the necessary information is taken. Lucas, you may post your depth chart, trade block, and start discussing deals if you wish. Please read up on the rules and post all questions you have here on the board. You are taking over a team that is sound financially and has a solid core albeit Haren and Upton are gone. You have the bid-matching rights to Brandon Webb and Chad Qualls come free agency. Anthony was a solid GM who made smart deals for the long run, sold high, and bought low. His two month tenure brought a face-lift to a franchise that had dust on it from the first four months of Franchise GM. I wish good luck to Lucas and his plans to make Arizona a champion again!
It's good to see my D'Backs in good hands.
I'll answer your questions Lucas...1) If you call up a guy from EDR then he is not released. If your 40-man roster was at 40 players then you would have to release someone. If a player on the EDR accrues major league playing time then it is up to you to tell the staff that this player's status changed. Franchise GM staff will check the EDRs on a quarterly or semi-annual basis to ensure everyone complies. There are no rules set in terms of when teams don't keep up with their EDR.
2) You may re-sign players after their contract expired during the off-season. For example, teams may currently do this until 1/10/2010 when unsigned players become free agents.
