5. Prospects can be promoted to the major league roster at any time, provided there is roster space available. Once promoted all prospects lose their prospect status, and cannot be demoted back to prospect status.
Questions:
1. Can prospects be promoted even though they don't have a SOM card?
2. If I promote a player, then release him later (before he ever got an SOM card) does that mean he is permanently not a prospect?
Not my league but these rules are cribbed from rules for leagues I run, so I’ll answer:
1. Yes you can promote with no card.
2. Even if promoted, if a player has never received a card he retains his prospect status. A promotion in our leagues doesn’t necessarily change his prospect status. In theroy, you could draft a prospect, 2 years later promote him, cut him and re- draft him as prospect if he hasn’t been on a major league roster yet.
At least this is the way I run my leagues which use the same rules.
