[USML Announce] Roster Question

[Richard E. Robbins]

That's what I remember as well.  Moreover, there are a number of situations
that could, in theory, result in a shortage of players at a given position.
We allow DL'd players, minor leaguers, and perhaps players traded out of the
league to sit on a roster, sometimes where they are there just to allow
teams to get above the floor.  Should we disallow those situations too?
 
I thought that we decided to tolerate empty slots because we had the minimum
IP and AB requirements.

Actually, to the best of my recollection, the exact reason that we removed
the language change that temporarily banned the practice was the belief that
the salary floor and cap set the minimum and maximum roster requirements, so
there was no longer any reason to impose a ban on empty roster slots, as
long as the salary requirements were met.

I'm with Jim B.  The argument based on the rules is questionable at best.
If there was prior "custom," it we had a salary cap.  I don't think teams
should be able to duck the cap by having empty slots on active rosters
unless the rules clearly permit it.

If there is no evidence of it being permitted, the Constitutional argument
is questionable, and the whole point is to dodge the salary cap then the
answer should be no.  He should have to juggle his roster to fit within the
salary cap and positional requirements.

I haven't seen a decision on my question.  If permitted, please activate
Saltalamachia, reserve Fox, and reserve Mijares.  Mijares is out for the
season, so this could effectively be accomplished by assigning him a salary
of zero.
