PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Progression/Regression:
Random Classic progression. Players will progress through age 28 and begin to regress after 32.
Real Stat Change
Each season you will be able to change all your player stats to the current season up until the 1st pitch. After the 1st pitch, stat change must be requested to the Commissioner's office. Keep in mind that a player's position may change when changing to their real stats. So make sure to look at their entire line.
Minimums to change to current year real stats:
AB's 125
Starter IP 85
Reliever IP 30
A Stat Change Minimums Audit will be done on each roster after game 1 of each season. Players that have been changed that are below the minimums will have their stats reverted back to the last season that they were above the minimum - thus losing any progression that they might have had.
Position Change
Requests will be granted to players who either played 33%+ of their career games at the desired position and/or 50%+ of the current season at that position. Contact the Commissioner's office for this change.
Slump Busters
5 days maximum allowed

Players will not be auto selected.
