To answer the question before it is asked, the phrase dedicated at bats means that, no matter how many positions one particular player is rated for, each of his at bats can only count at one position. For example, on my team, I could assign 200 of Oscar Charleston's at bats to first base and 400 to center field. That is 600 dedicated at bats, no at bat being used for two positions. As a minimum, each team would need 8000 total at bats, and likely more to stretch them between the positions properly. Going into the trading period, this is perhaps the most important point for me to stress: make sure you have covered - easily - the PA and IP limits. Also - having three players rated at each position - note that few of us have a third catcher. Pick one up from the trading pool, the perfect opportunity. If you just want a warm body you can get one for your worst player.

First of all, we have player reassignments. This is a two-fold process. Due to The Disbandment, the affiliated Minor League clubs will also be disbanded. Some of these clubs will be transferred intact (except for name) to the new American Association to begin life anew as an AA franchise. The rest will have their players dispersed into The Player Pool. But first, before either happens, each Major League Franchise must set their 30-player roster from the entire 50 players in their organization (30 Major League and 20 Minor League). This may mean a series of callups from the Minors and send-downs from the Majors. All Major League Rosters must be set by 11:59 PM August 15, 1998. At present, here are the number of players affiliated with each surviving OOSL franchise
