WAIVERS
All players (not injured) in AAA making $1M or more salary can be claimed on waivers on the forum – with an e-mail sent to the team’s owner. The player’s current team has 48 hours from the 1st claim to allow the player to go, or to move the player into the major league roster. If more than one team claims, lowest record gets him after 48 hours from 1st claim. Claims made in April – go by the previous season’s W/L record.
If the waiver claim is denied by moving the player to the major league roster, the player must remain on the major league roster for the remainder of the season. The Commish will not track this, so owners must be watching their own claims. If any owner notes a claimed player returned to AAA, the player will be awared to the original claiming team immediately. Injured players may be sent down, and left there after healthy but subject to future waiver claims. (1983)
Thats from an old league site that I used to be in.
To Dj's pointL: I think having a rule 5 draft would just be tedious. It's a lot of work for barley any player movement. This waiver addition does the same thing without having to get everyone together at one time. However I do like tha idea of a 25/40man roster. This way if we demote a veteran he can be subject to the claim or we can come up with a rule or something to simulate the fact that not everyone will accept a demotion and woudl rather be released.
The amount a contract has to be in order to get waiver claimed would be up to the league or DJ could make a ruling on that.
