RULE 2.01
NEW MINOR LEAGUE ROSTER RULE/GUIDELINE, EFFECTIVE STARTING IN SEASON 13:
Starting when we roll to Season 13, a minor league roster rule/guideline will be in place. This rule/guideline is designed to assure that we see less 28-24 games, less LF playing C, less pitchers playing the OF and less OF pitching, etc. It is also designed to protect owners that historically do maintain their minor leagues, because the result of the aforementioned oversights is more exposure to the possibility for fatigue and/or injury, for all players involved in a game.
The rule/guideline will be as follows:
• At the beginning of the minor league regular season, each level (Low A, High A, AA, AAA) is to have no fewer than 23 players on the roster.
• Of those 23, at least TWELVE must be pitchers.
• Of the 11 position players, their must be AT LEAST ONE of each at: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF and RF.
• At the conclusion of the draft (i.e., before the games start), the Rookie League team must have no fewer than 25 players on the roster.
• Of those 25, at least FOURTEEN must be pitchers.
• Of the 11 position players, their must be AT LEAST ONE of each at: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF and RF.
