Article 5. MLB Roster
A. Each teams' active roster consists of the following 22 players:
1 first baseman (1B)
1 second baseman (2B)
1 third baseman (3B)
1 shortstop (SS)
2 catchers (C)
1 corner infielder (1B or 3B)
1 middle infielder (2B or SS)
1 each leftfielder (LF), centerfielder (CF), rightfielder (RF)
2 outfielders (OF)
1 utility hitter (DH)
4 starting pitchers (SP)
4 relief pitchers (RP)
B. Each teams reserve roster consists of 8 Major League or Minor League players who may play any position.
C. Teams are allowed to place players who are on the MLB disabled list (15 or 7 day) into injured status, and the player will not count against the positional limits while injured. There is no limit on the number of players who are placed on the injured reserve – so long as they are on the MLB disabled list.
D. Once a player returns to his Major League roster from the DL, the player should immediately be put into his Denny’s League teams reserve or active roster. Failure to do so within three days of his Major League activation will result in the player placed into your reserves by the commissioner. An illegal roster will be caused, and zero points will be accrued until a corresponding move is made to legalize your roster.
E. The injured reserve cannot be utilized for players who are suspended, placed on bereavement, or on any other temporary leave.
Article 11. MLB Draft
A. A draft will be conducted on a Saturday prior to the start of the MLB regular season. The draft will be conducted online, via the "Live Draft" option on the Denny's League website on CBS Sportsline.com. The draft will continue until all 30 rounds are completed. This usually takes about 3 hours, so plan accordingly.
B. The draft order is determined based on the previous season’s results. The league champion will pick 14th, runner-up 13th, third place team 12th, fourth place 11th, the loser of the 5th/6th place matchup 10th, and the winner of that matchup 8th. Picks 1-8 will be determined through the results of the prior seasons #1 pick (consolation) tournament, with the last place finisher in the consolation tourney picking 9th, behind the winner of the 5th/6th matchup. The official bracket for the consolation tournament, complete with seeding, can be found on ProBoards under the “Draft” subtopic.
C. The MLB draft will run for 30 rounds, and is a "snake draft" meaning that every other round, the pick order reverses.
D. In case you are unable to attend the draft, CBS has a feature on the website that allows you to pre-rank players. Then, when you're pick is up, CBS will automatically select the next player on your list. Even if you are sure you will be present for the draft, it is highly advised that you pre-rank your players, in case of any abnormal occurrences such as your internet going down.
E. There is a ninety-second (1.5 minute) time limit to make a selection during the live portion of the draft. If at the end of 1.5 minutes you have not selected, CBS will automatically select the next player on your pre-ranked list. Therefore it is important that even if you are going to attend the draft that you still make a pre-rank list on the site.
F. Another option that CBS has is that you may rank a few players that you would like for your next pick, and CBS will automatically choose the top player still available for you. In other words, if in the middle of round 10 you need to leave for 10 minutes, and your pick is due up in 5 picks, you can make a quick list on the site of a few guys you want with that next pick, and if you aren't back yet CBS will choose whoever is left in the order you listed them.
G. If you do not make a pick before you 90 second clock is depleted, CBS will automatically place your team on autopick, where it will remain until you deselect the option in the draft room.
H. Trading of MLB draft picks is allowed, and may be done so one season in advance. During the regular season, traded draft picks will be recorded on the Denny’s League Forum under the Trades board.
