[IBL] Rules Proposal...

[George Blas]

Now that it is the offseason is there a possibility at the minimum of
putting this proposal from below up to a vote again?

I would think the ability to recall pitchers after long extra inning
games or DH would be at the minimum a required change - especially
with MLB recognizing the need to minimize long games with the rule
changes and the permanent ghost runner now.

Other options of course could be considered but I'd think at the
minimum we need to do something.

2016-01) Allow teams to make in-series pitcher transactions due to extra
innings or double-headers

add section 4.1.2:

4.1.2  Special Pitcher Activations

A team may replace pitcher(s) on the active roster with pitcher(s) on the
inactive roster after any game that extends beyond the 9th inning, after the
completion of a suspended game played on the same day as another game, or
anytime during a series with a double-header (including between DH games).
Any pitcher activated in this fashion must have been eligible to be
activated for
the current week (as per 3.2.2).

Teams may not sign free agents in this situation, only players on the
inactive roster at the start of the series are eligible replacements.
Special transactions should be reported with the GRS for the series.
Players deactivated in this manner must remain inactive for the next two
weeks, just as if they were deactivated after the conclusion of the series.
