I'll go Alex White for my Smoak replacement.

Also, Kyle Gibson is playing for the Fort Myers Miracle, High A, BF (you have him listed as a ? in the first post)

ccB · 04-27-2010, 10:03 PM

Can I drop Wil Myers and add Trevor Cahill?

tjsunstein · 04-28-2010, 12:34 AM

Let me get this straight.

I now have to drop a player on my minor league roster because Michael Brantley has been demoted? If so, drop Matt Moore.

How do I go about replacing him? Do I have first dibs at any FA or do I bid like anyone else would?

bearsfan_51 · 04-28-2010, 12:38 AM

Charm- Yes.

TJ- You have first dibs, as he's your player that you are dropping. I'll make the change.

I meant as far as replacing him with another player on my 'major league' roster for the time being, not when Michael Brantley is called back up.

Say I want to add Pat Burrell for example. Would I have to bid against everyone else like I would normally or do I get first priority because I have to fill a void left by Brantley?

bearsfan_51 · 04-28-2010, 08:33 AM

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. We aren't using the FAAB system except when NL players come over. You can add whomever you like.

bearsfan_51 · 04-29-2010, 05:56 PM

I cut Michael Bowden and place Chris Davis on my minor league roster. My apologies for taking so long, I hadn't noticed that Davis was demoted.

ccB · 04-30-2010, 01:54 PM

Trevor Cahill has been called up to start Saturday, I'll replace him with OF Carlos Peguero, Seattle Mariners AA affiliate.

ccB · 04-30-2010, 02:17 PM

also want to drop Daniel Hudson for SP Vin Mazzarro

djp · 05-02-2010, 01:57 PM

Ramos activated, will add 1B Eric Hosmer (High A Wilmington)

djp · 05-02-2010, 02:00 PM

My prospects keep getting called up! That's 2/4 now with Smoak and Ramos, although I don't expect Ramos to be up for a considerable amount of time.

bearsfan_51 · 05-02-2010, 02:36 PM

Thanks to everyone for your participation so far. I think this is going rather well. The trading deadline and September call-ups should be interesting.

Xiomera · 05-02-2010, 02:53 PM

I think this league needs 1 more bench spot.

bearsfan_51 · 05-02-2010, 02:58 PM

I totally disagree.

OK ... I don't like not having a single hitter I can rotate into my lineup. It's not like I am loaded up on pitching.

bearsfan_51 · 05-02-2010, 04:41 PM

How you choose to manage your roster is obviously up to you. The less bench spots, the less margin for error, which makes every roster decision all the more important. Also, smaller benches ensures that there will at least be some valuable players in the Free Agent pool at all times, which means more activity.

What I would like to do is lower the innings limit so that keeping a larger pitching roster is less necessary, but that was shot down for legitimate reasons. It's something we can revisit in the offseason, although the way the scoring is done usually makes starting marginal pitching worth little.

ccB · 05-02-2010, 04:58 PM

Small benches are the only reason I have players like Brignac, Wigginton, and Cahill so I'm all for it.

So how did you get Ramos? Was he on your ML roster? Or did you add him from the FA pool?

I simply added him to my roster and dropped a player. He was my 4th minor leaguer. Now, I add a 4th minor leaguer to take Ramos' spot, unless/until he gets sent down again, where I'll drop him from my major league roster and re-add someone else.

bearsfan_51 · 05-03-2010, 09:02 PM

Scotty, Alex Gordon has been sent down. You must drop him and decide if you want him on your minor league roster or not.

D-Unit · 05-05-2010, 03:48 AM

So um... nobody had Kila Ka'aihue on their ML roster, so I added him.

bearsfan_51 · 05-05-2010, 12:37 PM

Yeah that's fine.

bearsfan_51 · 05-07-2010, 10:10 AM

No response from Scotty. Please PM if you'd like to add Alex Gordon to your minor league roster. I will go off of the waiver order, and will change the order accordingly depends on who gets him.

bearsfan_51 · 05-07-2010, 11:54 AM

Also, Brodeur, Michael Saunders has been called up. You need to add him to your roster or lose his rights.

yo123 · 05-11-2010, 12:36 AM

Derek Holland was called up, I'll add Jared Mitchell.
