| Message | INTERESTING QUESTION NOEL.. just kidding.. i won't write in caps.. in the event a team had a starter turn reliever and a reliever turn starter, there is no rule saying a clean swap w/o using a roster move could be made.. but you could make a case that it should be allowed.
in this case, bucholz is injured, but i haven't seen anything to prove he is coming back as a reliever.. in fact rotoworld quoted francona as saying he's not an option for the bullpen and that's why he was optioned to AAA. as a general rule, starters have to be starters and relievers/relievers on your active roster. there is no sniff of bucholz being a reliever now or in the future, so he should stay as a starter.
your only option at this time is to put take out a starter, put in joba and replace joba with a slim reliever by using a roster move.
as for the previous question of using a midseason pick as a roster move, the motion has passed and will be allowed this year, to be added into the constitution effective immediately.. |
