We will open the Sign Players section of the forum at 6 PM Pacific tomorrow on July 12th.
During the season, there will be a Disabled List Reserve where teams gain an additional slot for every current injury to a player in the simulation, but teams can only gain a maximum of 5 additional slots. Depending on how many players you have injured, you can sign that many new players--though if you have 6 or more injured, 5 would be your max. If a player does not have a projection in the simulation, teams will not gain an additional slot while they’re injured. Teams do not gain an additional slot for a player who is inactive because they're not with a MLB franchise (like David Robertson, Yasiel Puig, Brad Peacock, etc.).
The newly signed player is not required to have a projection, but the DL Reserve is intended to help teams maintain a 26-man active roster when besieged by injuries.

Is there an injured list the league uses for the opening week ?? The Angels created an Excel a few months ago tracking injuries. I also manually double-checked MLB.com/MiLB.com for injury transactions as well as combed through the players on each B1G roster who are suspended or not active with an MLB franchise. The injuries/inactivations added in the recent database aren't official yet so can be added if identified before the official Week 1 database is sent. |

The free agents signed would be [0/.5/A1] if they have 130 or more career MLB ABs or 50 or more career MLB IP, and they would be [ML] if they don't have that experience. Those experience requirements are now as of the exact real-life time that they're signed. If someone didn't have any experience last year but has 130 MLB ABs this 2021 season, their contract when signed would be [0/.5/A1].
Also, please remember that amateur draftees and international signees this year are not eligible to be signed during the season. Those players will be available in our Amateur Draft this offseason.
When signing a player, a team would create a new post with the "Player Name" as the title and then they can post the contract in the message--as well as any other identifying information, if necessary.
For example...
Topic: Mike Trout
Message: [0/.5/A1]

Please specify how this process will work ??
Do we just post them on this thread or will you use another process ??
If we all just post on this thread, what happens when we pick the same players, etc ??

Teams won't reply to this message, this is just the announcement of when the Sign Players forum will open at 6 PM Pacific tonight. When signing a player, a team would create a new post with the "Player Name" as the title and then they can post the contract in the message--as well as any other identifying information, if necessary. For example... Topic: Mike Trout Message: [0/.5/A1] Each new thread that is posted will have a timestamp down to the second so the player would go to the first team. |

When are the injuries effective in our season?
If a player is hurt now, like Acuna. Wouldn't the owner get a solid 3 months of playing time before sending to the IL?

It progresses with each week in the simulation. If a player comes off the DL and I only have 4 injured players for Week 2, then I would only have 4 DL reserve slots instead of the 5 maximum I do now. |

What happens if a team signs a bunch of players and then those players eligible to come back do? Do they then have to drop players? This is going to be a nightmare to track I'm sorry to say. Each week teams picking up players. We have 50 players on a team. If someone is injured for 3 months that team knew to have other players available. There's no usage limit.

It won't be a nightmare, it's easy to track each week and send out the number of DL reserve slots each team has--like I did today. Teams will be made aware when they're over the limit and need to get under by a stated deadline or else the player(s) will be released for them. I've utilized this system for many years and a fair number of people in the league have familiarity with this process as well. |

So are these players picked up as DL replacements temporary or permanent to that teams roster? So if I sign a player to take Jack Flaherty's place for 3 weeks and he comes back what becomes of that player? I'm assuming someone will need to be released so my roster is at 50 or below

Thank you for clarifying, Houston. You don't have to release that specific player that you signed with that additional roster spot, but you'll have to do something to get under--whether that's a trade with another team, releasing a different player, or someone else gets newly hurt to give you a slot back.

I'm completely confused on all these signings. Even if a team lost 5 guys for week one, we just drafted a roster of 50. I haven't looked but do all these players signed have projections? If not, then I'm really confused. This is going to be a revolving door every week of players signed. This all should've been talked about before we started. I just think, for me, it's going to be an absolute time consuming nightmare to track. I think the day the file goes out each team has 24 hours to pick players up and the max should be 2 per week. 5 is way to much. Usage is unlimited. At some point i'll be missing Flaherty for weeks. I knew that coming into this. I have 10 other options without picking up 10 guys each week. Am I missing something? And for all the people who are missing my point it's because you're not tracking it on a spreadsheet

So say you have 5 guys injured that week, and you're prospect heavy, and need some projections for fill your 26 man roster. Now you have that opportunity.
Some will game the system, and use them on minor league spots, which is totally cool.
But you can't just sign 5 and keep them there all year. If you have no one on the injured, you need to trim down the roster to 50.
As far as keeping track on the excel, coming from someone whos kept track of the excel in another league in the past, it's not that hard once the season is in full swing. Not as many signings as you'd think.
Also, a less busy excel should would help. Your format might be a little tough for addition and subtraction, mostly because of stats and formatting. Less busy is key.
Don't blow a gasket on this excel stuff.

So more then likely the guys who were picked up will be dropped Potentially. Or you could have 5 guys stay disabled all year. Tj surgery, Achilles surgery, or whatever. |

We will open the Sign Players section of the forum at 8 PM Central (6 PM Pacific/9 PM Eastern) tomorrow on July 21st.
Regardless of whether the player has a projection or not, a team must wait 30 minutes after signing a player before they can sign another player.
During the season, there will be a Disabled List Reserve where teams gain an additional slot for every current injury to a player in the simulation, but teams can only gain a maximum of 5 additional slots. Depending on how many players you have injured, you can sign that many new players--though if you have 6 or more injured, 5 would be your max. If a player does not have a projection in the simulation, teams will not gain an additional slot while they’re injured. Teams do not gain an additional slot for a player who is inactive because they're not with a MLB franchise.
The newly signed player is not required to have a projection, but the DL Reserve is intended to help teams maintain a 26-man active roster when besieged by injuries. I'll try to have a Week 1 injuries list by later tonight.

I'll be unlocking the Sign Players forum ahead of 8 PM Central Time so there's no delay when we open things up. We go by the timestamps of posts so anything posted before the forum clock officially strikes 8 PM Central will be invalid. Remember, you have to wait 30 minutes after signing a player before you can sign someone else--regardless of whether they have a projection or not. If you sign someone at 8:00 PM, then you would need to wait until the forum clock is 8:31 PM so that a full 30 minutes has passed.

The Sign Players forum has already been unlocked ahead of 8 PM Central Time. You can't sign anyone yet, but you should see the Create Thread option so there won't be any delay when we officially open things up. We go by the timestamps of posts so anything posted before the forum clock officially strikes 8 PM Central will be invalid. Remember, you have to wait 30 minutes after signing a player before you can sign someone else--regardless of whether they have a projection or not.

Just trying to call attention again to the full 30-minute freeze after signing a player before you can sign another player. If you sign someone at 8:03 PM, then you would need to wait until the forum clock is 8:34 PM so that a full 30 minutes has passed.

If you signed someone at 8:03:27 on the forum, you would be able to sign someone at the earliest when the forum clock is 8:34:00. We're going by the minute for the full 30 minutes.

Please pay attention to the timestamps. It's hard for me to check everything in real time. If you officially signed someone at say 8:02 PM (regardless of the second), basically add 31 (so that it's a full 30 minutes) so you're able to sign someone as soon as the clock moves to 8:33:00 PM.

Reminder that the 30-minute delay remains until further notice. We'll probably continue it for a few days to a week.
