Minor league contracts are automatically renewed unless you release them after the season.
Don't dump too many. You still need to field teams at all levels. And you'll need extras due to injury.

Thnks.
Yes, a player with six seasons of minor league service who has not played in the majors becomes a minor league FA.

What is a good/average pitch count heading into spring training for a starter. I've been warned, don't over pitch your pitchers.

the recommendations are good, but i lowered them (even though they were conservative) because i was afraid of injuries.

If you throw them more than 30 for the first two starts, you're making a mistake. Maybe 50 in the last one. And limit them to 3 starts. Rest all your starting pitchers for games 16-18.

I waived an arbitration eligible player, when I should have released him.
Is it possible to take him off waivers?

I have 2 very good CF's with high ranges and speed and arm. I play in an all -4 ballpark, so good range in the outfield is vital(I think?). These CF's only know CF, will moving one of them over be a problem?
