Correct. The supplemental round between the 1st and 2nd is exempt from compensation.

Just to be clear, I had the #1 pick and didn't sign him and I now have the #2 pick as a Type D. I could potentially push it again to next season as the #3 pick Type D if I don't like any of the players?

I was wondering this as well. I am unsure if it has ever previously happened in any of my worlds.

Does anyone roll with a 4 man rotation? What dur/starter do you go with? I'm about to have 4 guys with durability of 30 - 34,and all but one with pretty good stamina as well (the other is in the 60's). I'm thinking having them as my 4, with my "5th" starter (who has a 21 dur) as the LRA/spot starter.

I'll probably carry either 13 pitchers or maybe 12 with multiple long relievers. Does anyone have success with this?

I have done this before. If I am taking over a really bad team with high picks. I will punt my first two pick until I can get my scouting up. I will go two seasons and have my scouting at 18 18 before I use them picks.

So, to be clear, a type D pick that doesn't get signed still nets another type D pick the following year? You can continue to punt the same pick?

Sorry, but just to be ultra clear: I want to make sure there is no mix up so I am giving a scenario.

I have the #5 pick overall and it is not a comp pick,it is just a regular ole pick. I draft a guy with that pick and he doesn't sign with me despite me offering him his demands. The next season, I get the #6 pick as a Type D compensation and the guy i drafted still does not sign despite me offering him what he is asking for. You are saying in this situation, the following year, I still get the Type D pick at #7?

With my experimentation, a guy with 30+ durability can go 20-25 pitches over his stamina level and often times come back and pitch at full 100 percent rest in four days. So, i think your strategy will work out just fine assuming little to no injury throughout the year. But certainly check the rotation AT LEAST every two real life days to make sure your guys are not getting gassed so you can put your spot starter in there or move guys around where needed.

Those 30+ durability guys are extremely valuable. They keep the rest of the pitching staff rested. We had an owner in our world with four 30+ durability/82+ stamina starters and two 85+ durability/35+ stamina relievers and he only needed 8 guys on his pitching staff. He won 117 games with that setup. Of course, his six guys were some of the best pitchers in the World.

Its been 10+ years sense I did this. I would want another person to confirm this before you make that move.

I saw the data. It is confirmed.

I've done 4 man rotations before (one year I almost did 3)
You need 3 guys that can go often (so durability over..... I'd say 25, stamina is irrillivent as long as its over 65 IMO) and 1 guy who is a horse who does all the heavy lifting.

Jair Sanchez Was one of my guys who was pretty good.

And I'll never see a guy like Pasqual Manzanillo again. I was tempted to see just how many innings I could horse out of him in a year.

I have a player who will be on my ML roster after 20 games next season. I would like to get him a promotion development this season but I don't want to waste a year of ML experience. If I call him up during playoffs (we missed) and immediately drop him back to AAA in order to get that last development cycle, will I waste a season toward Arb or do I still get 3+ after 20 games next season and simply lose an option?

Players don't accrue service time during the post-season, so you're good.

This is super helpful. Thank you!

Can someone outline in specifics the rating bumps from the roster expansion / playoff expansion and if/when they will then take a ratings hit when being demoted back to AAA?

You DO NOT get Type D’s when you do not sign Type D’s. No comps from comps.
