RULE 5 GUIDELINES

Craig Kilborn is THE MAN Rule 5 Rules, 1999-2006

Written May 1, 2002
By Jess Kryscio with Matt Ostrowitz & Michael Bier

(1) Only a player that meets the eligibility requirements is eligible to be picked and designated a "Rule 5" player. The essence of the Rule 5 is to build a young core, or farm system if you will, of talent. Rule 5 players' rights will span three years only. At no time should any franchise hold any more than three (3) Rule 5 players with remaining eligibility.

(1a) No Hitter can have more than 150 at-bats in the major leagues of the previous season. This rule covers the Major League Baseball 'Rookie' qualification rules. Also, if a player has played in multiple seasons at the major league level, he can not have more than a combined 225 lifetime at-bats.

(1b) No Pitcher can have more than fifty (50) innings pitched in the major leagues or previous season. This rule covers the Major League Baseball 'Rookie' qualification rules. Also, if a player has played in multiple seasons at the major league level, he can not have more than a combined seventy-five (75) lifetime innings pitched.

(2) Each CK draft consists of twenty-six (26) rounds. The first three rounds are reserved for Keepers. Each owner has the ability to choose their Rule 5 player at any time during the draft. If an owner decides not to select his Rule 5 player during the course of the draft, he will then select his Rule 5 in the final (26th) round.

Who qualifies as a rookie?

In order to qualify for the award a player must have accumulated, prior to the season under consideration:

  • Fewer than 150 at bats and 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues or
  • Fewer than 45 days on the active rosters of Major League clubs (excluding DL time or any time after rosters are expanded on September first)

 

NOTE: Somehow the rest of the rules were lost on 12/25/05.  If you have a previous printout of this page, please notify Commissioner Bier as soon as you can.  Thanks!
