That's sounds good to me.
Farm eligibility is 150 days MLB service time
You may use two of the 22 regular roster spots for farm eligible players, at the cost of 1 cap year per player.
You may continue to use farm players as DL replacements at your leisure.
I'm not sure what A on the previous page implies, does it say that you cannot draft a player to your farm if they have even 1 day of MLB service?
If my farm player whom I called up goes on the DL, we treat it the same as any other rostered player, correct?
You're right about what A implies. I could go either way on this. I've made a lot of hay from drafting farm-eligible guys with MLB service.
Weren't we going to do something with international players as well? In terms of them being farm eligible vs. not?
I think we treat call ups the same as regular rostered player. Only difference is, I think, if you re full on DL slots, you can demote (drop) and replace that way.
I think A is less important now with farm eligibility going away earlier and the ability to play farm guys. I still think it's a good thing to implement though. I've benefited from it as well but it sort of goes along with why we're making the other changes, keep as many good players active and eligible to be played in MLB. I don't think it hurts anything to keep it as is, but I think it goes against what we really intended the farm team to be for.
DL call-ups would continue to be handled the same way, you can use a farm player or another player.
For the international question I tracked that down, it was during last year's draft and was on the other board. We never formally came to any agreement but it seemed like: "if they've been declared an MLB FA prior to the start of the draft they're eligible to be selected" was fairly popular. It still leave an open question for what we do if they become a FA during the draft or start playing throughout the season, who get's first dibs? Are they eligible at all for that season (if they're in MLB I think we'd want them to be)?
There was another related question that was brought up and not addressed which was, shouldn't there be some sort of age cut-off on international guys and being farm eligible? I think addressing this would help alleviate some of the issues with the above question.
