Name of Rule Change

Bob Hyde

Proposed Change

I propose that this section of the MinorLeagues rules page be changed:

Any human being not already on another franchise's roster may be added as a minor league player. The player may be in college, overseas, in the minor leagues, or even a major leaguer eligible under the Current Year eligibility rules.

to

Any human being not already on another franchise's roster may be added as a minor league player, as long as their eligibility for Rookie of the Year has not lapsed or lapsed in the current season of play. The player may be in college, overseas, in the minor leagues, or even a major leaguer.

Rationale

Contained in the e-mail thread.
