liriano situation in fantasy baseball?
I'm running a fantasy baseball keeper league with a 5 player minor league system. The rules are that as long as a player would be eligable to win the rookie of the year trophy if he was in the majors, he is considered minor league eligable. If a player begins the season with minor league eligibility, he has it for the full year. We also have two DL spots allowed on our major league roster , but players must officially be on the DL in real life to qualify.
The problem is I have Liriano on my team. Technically he doesn't have rookie eligibility so I can't send him down. He is also not technically on the DL so I can't put him there either.
If you were running a league like this, how would you handle the situation? Would you allow the team with liriano to send him down to the minors, allow the team to put him on the DL, or make the owner keep liriano on his active roster and waste a spot? Why would you do it that way? Where could i find a standard set of rules for this situation?
