OK, I understand that you have to have 1250 IP and 5000 PA on your roster; my question is do you have to have them on your PLAYOFF roster? In other words, can you leave your awful 27 IP, 200K mop up pitcher in the minors at the transaction deadline and and play the last 42 games and playoffs with say 1223 IP on your "final" 25 man roster?

I beleive that it is enforced throughout the year.

what a joke...

Presenting this scenario from another thread:

You have 1285 IP.
You want to drop two 40 IP relievers for an 80 IP reliever on the WW.
You can't, because your first drop brings you to 1245 IP, even though in the end you'd have exactly as many IP as you started with.

Sounds like a question someone smarter than me can answer - Where is miami_tilt when you need him?

I asked the same question more or less a day ago, and I copied it below along with the answer from TZ. My interpretation was that you could go with less than 1250 IP and 5000 PA's after the transaction deadline as long as you have non-prospects in AAA, which when added to your active roster non-prospects, meets or exceeds the IP and PA minimums. But now one might not be able to release those scrubs to spend the $1.5 mil (or whatever) on the waiver wire for a good 29 inning pitcher or 60 PA bat as you might go below the minimum IP or PA's.

As far as the PA and IP requirements being introduced, once the season starts...

1. Are these minimums calculated by all of the real players on your roster whether you have them in the majors or minors? Do WIS issued AAA players have any impact on those minimums?

2. At the transaction deadline, would this mean that one would have to have at least a real player sum of 1250 IP and 5000 PA on your active roster before being able to carry WIS issued AAA players on the major league roster?

Thanks for the answers!

The totals to go against the minimums are all non-prospects, whether they are in the majors or AAA. Generated prospects do not count against the minimums.

This same rule is active the entire season, before and after the deadline.

Remember, this rule is only for non-theme leagues.
