Would this make sense
once a player passes the threshould 130 ab or 50 ip they have to be promoted to your roster or dropped or traded.....
give a manager 2 weeks to make a decision from the day the player surpasses the threshold numbers

I say no. I think this would be to time consuming. I can see a manager getting upset becase he didn't know his minor leaguer was on the verge of going over the limit and then someone coming in and picking him up. I think it would be better to have minor leaguers status change during the off season.

thats part of managing a team though if you dont what your players are doing do really have the time for a league like this I say no. I think this would be to time consuming.

However if you want to reward someone for drafting well why punish them for drafting good minor leaguers. I can see your point about having to pay attention to your team however this seems a bit harsh.

I don't think you should have to promote them..but not for the reason of not following them. I, for one, would know right away if a player is getting called up...but there aren't many rookies that make impacts like Braun or Pence...for instance, Maybin, Upton, Owings, etc.
I don't think that you should be forced to use an MLB roster spot if you're rookie is a september call up that isn't even getting regular playing time...you're in effect being punished for picking good minor leaguers.
Plus i like it to be more like MLB where you can send your rookies up and down in their rookie season if you need to open up a spot due to an injury or whatever reason. But the following season, they can obviously no longer be on the minor league roster and have to stay on the major league roster then.

Since the constitution says a minor leaguer can be kept as such at the end of the season even if they pass the 130ab 50ip threshold (correct?), I'd say a team should not have to add them to their MLB roster during the season.

That's pretty much it...i feel like it would be very confusing, time consuming, and cause more diress to try and monitor this. I'd say your minor leaguers, if they start the season as such, are yours, you can call them up and send them down just like an MLB team would. Now the following year you either have to make a spot for them on your MLB roster or drop them.

Now the following year you either have to make a spot for them on your MLB roster or drop them. So, just to make sure I understand... if a minor league player was drafted last year, and he didn't start the season in the majors, but exceeded the minimum MLB ABs (e.g., Tulo or Braun) the only way you would have the option of stashing him on your minor league roster is if you didn't play him at all last year? E.g., an owner last year drafted Tulo, but was very inactive and never bothered to bring up him. Can Tulo be a keeper on the team's minor league roster this year? [related to my question on the keeper rosters thread]

My understanding is Tulo would be minor league keeper but if he past the limit then he has to be on your major league roster at the begining of the year and you would be giving up your last draft pick in the major league draft. This is the same question I hade about Garza Loney and Buck.

Yeah, that's the way i think it should be. Regardless of whether you called them up during the year or not, if you want to keep them they would be minor league keepers. But yes, you would quit drafting 1 round early (or several depending on how many of these you had).
