HFP Changes and Player Position Change Requests

I will now start taking requests for HFP add/drop, HFP stat changes and position changes. The deadline for these change requests is 10/14 at Noon PT. Please refer to the details below for these requests.

HFP REAL STAT CHANGE
HFP's can be changed to the stats of any of their future real seasons (past seasons cannot be selected at any time). When doing this, their age will increase the number of seasons that they were moved forward with the stat change. Consider changing HFP's with caution. They may get to regression much quicker. Thus, causing more franchise players to perhaps be picked sooner than originally planned. Also 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. It cannot be reversed.
Minimums to change to real stats:
AB's 125
Starter IP 85
Reliever IP 30

HFP ADD/DROP
* Maximum # of HFP's per team will vary depending upon the length of time the franchise has been in place. Franchises that existed before 1961 will adhere to a maximum of 5 players. Expansion teams from the 1960's will be allowed a maximum of 6 players. The 1977 and 1990's teams will be allowed 7 players.

1960's EXPANSION TEAMS (6 HFP's)
Angels
Twins
Mets
Astros
Royals
Nationals
Padres
Brewers

1977 & 90's EXPANSION TEAMS (7 HFP's)
Mariners
Blue Jays
Rockies
Marlins
Diamondbacks
Rays

* SP and RP maximum is 2 each. Position player maximum is 3 except for the 77 and 90's expansion teams which will be a maximum of 4.
* An HFP must begin his franchise tenure in a year that was played for your franchise and that meets the following criteria. The season to be selected will be the first season where the batter had 125 AB's, SP 85 IP or RP 30 IP. All HFP's will play (or not) their first NATL season with the their first real season that meets these minimums. If a player played for more than 1 team in a given season, the team that had the most AB's or IP's is considered the franchise team for that season.

HFP Restrictions
* HFP's cannot be selected if the are still playing in the current MLB season.
* HFP's cannot be traded
* When an HFP is dropped, he cannot be selected again for a roster spot.

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. Position changes are potentially available for HFP and NOW players.
