Here is the list of all players that were lost during play of the 1983 season, due to their not playing 50% of their aloted usage during the year. I will list them by '83 team, name, and primary positions. The year they return with MLB stats is listed last. If it is '84, then they will be added to the coming rookie draft. If it is a later year, it will be in parenthisis, and they will come back in that rookie draft. If they no longer play in MLB, there will be an asterik instead.

Only a few players with some value, maybe a surprise or two, but overall a good job for managers getting the players needed time this past year. A total of 59 players, 20 of them with some future left. There were 20 teams with 50% losses. The four teams with no losses were the Magpies, Hired Guns, Bison, and Mud Hens
