CARDED PLAYERS FOR 2021
-----------------------
For the 2021 card set, it is necessary to use lower minimum PA/IP cutoffs
to ensure
there are enough cards to fill out everyone's roster and provide an
adequate free
agent pool.
After analysis of the MLB stats and quite a bit of discussion, I have
decided that
the cutoffs will be 15 AB+BB for batter cards and 10 IP for pitcher cards.
This is
exactly half of the normal cutoffs. So any player with at least 15 AB+BB
or 10 IP
will have a card. Any player who does not will be uncarded (but remember
that you
may keep them for 2021 without them counting against your 35-man roster
limit.)
This will result in approximately 509 batter cards and 490 pitcher cards,
which is
slightly lower than a normal IBL card set. Over the past nine years, the
average
set has contained 544 batter cards and 495 pitcher cards.
CUTS/USAGE APPEALS
------------------
The deadline for cutting players will be Monday, December 14.
IMPORTANT:
Please send your cuts to transactions at ibl.org and not to the entire members
list.
Please send in the players you would like to release. Players who did not
make
usage will be automatically released. If you have any players you would
like to
keep who were under 75% or over 133% and you think you should be allowed to
keep
them, send me your usage appeal with your argument. If your player is over
75%
with injury credit, you do not need to appeal.
After releases have been completed and rosters have been updated, I will
send out
my annual spreadsheet of draft-eligible players with stats.
POST SEASON BALLOT
------------------
I will be sending out an important post season ballot soon. This will
contain
ballot items to determine the schedule and rules by which we will play the
2021 IBL
season. Please keep an eye out for it and respond to it promptly.
