We will each start out with a minor league roster of 15 from your team affiliate. These will be your top 15 prospects in your minor league system. These players will not count against your cap unless they are promoted to the 25 man roster in which they will either pick up their contract listed on the spreadsheet, or have a default contract of 6 yrs 300k. Once you move them up to your 25 man roster, their 6 yrs 300k contract will start. A player can be on your minor league roster if they have less than 130 AB or 50 innings pitched or if they are in the minor leagues in real life. If they are on the spreadsheet, then they will become free agents when there contract expires like normal. You are allowed to move one of your players down to the minors, but their contract will still count against the cap for the remainder of their contract. Each team will keep an updated list of your minor league players on this message board.

Two things: One: if the player is on our minor league roster and is called up to the majors in real life, do we have to bring that player up and add him to the payroll
Two: For the minor league draft, will we just be drafting players that came out of college or high school that year?

1. If the player is called up to the majors in real life, you don't have to bring him up to the majors until you are ready to. He will keep the 6 yr 300k contract until you move him up in which at that time, his contract will take place.
2. For the minor league draft, you can draft any players that are currently in the minors that aren't on an active teams minor league roster at that time. They must be minor league players and not players that have significant major league experience.
I hope this answers your questions, and welcome you to the league.

Ok so lets say for the Nats, Bryce Harper will be one of my minor leaguers, so when he is called up to the majors it will cost me 600k/yr against my fantasy salary aslong as i keep him in the minors, but as soon as i put him on my fantasy 25 man roster his real contract kicks in? Am i saying this right? And any minor leaguer that stays in the minors does not count against my fantay payroll?

When Bryce Harper gets promoted to the majors, he will pick up the 6yr 300k contract beginning then. As long as he is in your minors, you will not be responsible for his contract. You are not responsible for any minor league player's contract unless they were originally on your major league roster. So say he is on your minor league roster this year. You don't bring him up until 2013 at which that time he will count against your cap. His contract will be 6yr 300k which will expire in 2019. All of the minor league players will have a 6yr 300k value unless they have major league experience in which their contract will be on the spreadsheet and expire then. The contract spreadsheet that I am creating doesn't include arbitration, or major league contracts offered to minor league players. It will make more sense once you see the spreadsheet. When preparing your minor league roster, I would just google top 20 prospects for Washington Nationals and use the top 15 from those.

Are there so many AB's or IP's that a player needs to be under to be considered a minor league player?

What I am doing for the contracts is using baseball reference.com and looking at major league service time. If it is less than a year, I am considering them minor league players. There are a few exceptions like Matt Moore with the Rays, but go ahead and post your players who you feel are minor league players. During that week break between 1/31 and 2/7, I am going to audit everyone's minor league roster and make sure that they are truly minor league players.

Are the minor league player contracts 6 years at 300K a year or is it 6 years 300K total so it's only 50K per year? And I understand that this only counts against us if we choose to put him on our Major League roster. Thanks

Their contracts are 300k for each year for 6 years. They don't count against your cap until they are promoted. Their years on their contract don't start until they are promoted as well

Gary, I looked up Mike Minor on baseballreference.com and his service time shows up like this: Service Time (01/2012): 0.138 So since it is less then one year I can place him on my minor league roster correct? Just want to make sure. What I am doing for the contracts is using baseball reference.com and looking at major league service time. If it is less than a year, I am considering them minor league players. There are a few exceptions like Matt Moore with the Rays, but go ahead and post your players who you feel are minor league players.
