Roster moves during playoffs

[jar2574]

Players that have been on the DL for a month or so should be allowed to rejoin their teams during playoff series. They are not allowed to do so right now. This needs fixed.

I am in the World Series (1900, so that's the only playoff round), and two of my best players are ready to rejoin the team but cannot.

I could not move them before the series started because they were still injured. So I got screwed.

PS - I am trying to find a work around, using the player editor, but can't find one yet. If anyone has ideas, please share. Thanks.

I didn't know that they changed this, but this is the actual rule in MLB today. A team has to set their roster at the start of a series. Unless this has been changed since 2006, this is the case:

These are the crucial questions the eight postseason teams made when setting their 25-man rosters for the first round. They can change their rosters before the next two playoff rounds, but making it there will hinge on how they constructed their first-round rosters.

Regarding being able to put those players on the roster, unless you had them on the 60-day DL and their time on it hadn't completed, players who were still injured from a month or longer injury could have been put on the roster before the start of the series. The only thing holding them on the DL is the forced number of days that are the minimum stay on the DL (15, 60 days in the modern MLB). After those limits, they can be removed at any time, regardless of whether they are healthy or not.

not exactly sure what the rule is now, or what it was in 1900.

I do recall just last season one of the teams playing against the Phillies in the playoffs were allowed to remove someone during the playoff series for another player. The announcers stated that it had to be a hitter for a hitter or a pitcher for a pitcher.

This is correct - it likes anyone who is in a team's system on August 31 of that year can be a replacement. See this thread for more details on that:

I do know you can't bring someone back from injury mid-series though.

Are you sure this is the case? If a player is injured longer than 15 days I don't get the "player X is eligible to come off the DL" message until they are not injured anymore. So that message is deceiving (they were actually eligible well before the message appeared), if what you say is correct.

That is the case, the 15/60 is only the minimum length he has to stay on it. So if you see a guy that's almost back and has surpassed the minimum, get him on your roster before the series starts. Adds another level of management.

Thanks, you're correct. I restarted, which took me back to Sunday, the day the game saves every week, and the last day I could make roster moves. I was able to move my two injured players to the roster.

Thanks.

I'll be pedantic and point out that (a) there was no World Series in 1900; and (b) there was no disabled list in 1900.

That's right. Before a post-series begins, the club has to select from its list of post-season eligible players the 25 it wants to use on the active roster for the series. Once a series is over, the club can select a different combination of 25 players to use in the next series.
