11.B. Protected Player Lists
1. Prior to the Phase I Rookie Draft, each manger will submit a list of protected players.
2. Teams may protect the following number of players;
a) Teams with the four (4) highest winning percentages-17 players.
b) Teams with the four (4) lowest winning percentages-19 players.
c) All remaining teams protect 18 players.
3. Each team is allowed to keep one (and ONLY 1) uncarded player, not
counting against their protected roster. Each manager will submit the
name of the player when protected rosters are called for. This is a freebie
similar to the years when Military players are exempt from counting towards
protected rosters. This will help all teams each season, except for the few
that occasionally may not have an uncarded player. This change will go into
effect for all SPB historical leagues immediately when the next protected
rosters are called for.
