Winter 2010-2011 Rule Ballot Results

A: 8 yes, 1 no PASSES
B: 3 yes, 6 no FAILS

Item A, tweaking the injury pickup rule:

When a team runs out of players at a position - Added 01.26.2010
WM2010

When a team runs out of rated players at a position due to injury, the
team is allowed to pick up a free agent for the duration of the need
(until a rated player returns to the active roster). The acquired
player must have a injury (J) rating equal to the highest injury
rating available.

The suggested new rule reads:

When a team runs out of players at a position - Added 11.22.2010 WM2011

When a team runs out of rated players at a position due to injury, the
team is allowed to pick up a free agent for the duration of the need
(until a rated player returns to the active roster). The acquired
player must have a injury (J) rating equal to the highest injury
rating available and must be the free agent's primary position.

Item B:

Also, how does the league feel about dropping the steal rating
dictating how many SBAs a player gets in the playoffs and going with
the 8% rule with any non-pitcher who had at least 1 MLB SBA attempt
being allowed at least 1 SBA? That way in case a nonpitcher went 5 for
5 stealing in MLB, he wouldn't be at 0 attempts in the playoffs.
