Promotions

(All Fielders/Relivers must have played 1/3 of games at that level and Starters must have pitched at least 1/2 of season starts of the 5 man rotation.) Ex: I've played 40 games, then the 5 man rotation would have started 8 times each, therefore the player must have pitched 4 starts to qualify.

AA-AAA

1st of each month - send a starter up/down based on ERA.

10th of each month - send a fielder up/down based on average.

20th of each month - send a relief pitcher up/down based on ERA.

*****All promotions end on August 20th based on potential playoff births*****

MLB/AAA

At the 40, 80, 120 game mark, a fielder, reliever and starter will be moved up/down to the big squad based on Average, ERA, and Losses (with win % being the tie-breaker respectively.)

Will play the first game of every series..
