I don't have time to do it now, but this page is in desperate need of a tag examination. If nobody does it by Friday, I'll debug it myself. (Tuesday, April 11. 9:43 PM EDT)

Expansion
I'm always arguing with people about when players have to be added or taken off the 40-man roster. Could someone who knows please elaborate on it here? Particularly helpful would be how the roster relates to waivers, the rule V draft (2nd only to the "balk" in "misunderstood baseball rules"), the minor-league draft, and free-agent compensation picks (assuming it relates to any of these at ALL). When is a team obligated to remove a player from the 40-man roster and what are the repercussions of this action? Do teams need a full forty players on the roster? Etc.

 * Check out this page. It covers pretty much everything, though I'm not sure if it's as detailed as what you're looking for. - Pal 03:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:NOT
Wikipedia is not a sports gazetteer. This page is not encyclopedic. Please remove it or replace it with, perhaps, a discussion of the history of major league baseball roster rules and the impact they have upon the game. Kelly Martin (talk) 00:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * How is this any less encyclopedic than a cast list for a film or a list of members of a band? Major league players are notable and a list that indexes them by team is appropriate. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 20:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
