Questions on DL Rules

A few questions on DL rules:

1. A player on 60 day DL is inactive for at least 60 days since he last played. If a player starts the season on the 60 day DL, when is he eligible to be made active? 60 days from the declaration? For example, if I add Eduardo Rodriguez to the 60 day DL on March 19, he would be eligible to activate 60 days from then, correct?

2. When a player is placed on the 60 day DL, and I promote a player from AAA, when the injured player returns to health and I reinstate him on my roster, I would have to send a player back down... So, the player sent back down would lose an option if he had options, correct?

3. A player who is in AAA and injured, can I place him on the 60 day DL (if he's eligible) and reduce his contract at AAA? This would be useful for, say, pitchers who are out a full season.

Sorry if this is self-explanatory, just want to clarify before I use the DL.

1. No DL60 begins at the beginning of the season so opening day would be Day 1.

2. Yes to option a player down uses an option, regardless of reasoning for the option

3. No DL at minors, so the contracts do not reduce

To point 3, you could clear a 25-man spot and call up that pitcher. Then DL him (clearing a 25-man roster spot), and bring up a new player or the one from before... but required to waive or use an option to do this, so does not make sense for all scenarios. Essentially, you'd just be moving the 50% of full contract from minor league Cap to MLB Cap.

I think this would very rarely be desirable... but is a work around to get someone on the 60-day, if that's what you want.

Note that 60-day DL are protected but do not count against your 50-man roster. Technically, you can protect 50 + # of 60-day DLs... but logistics of how to get them there and handle the Cap are to consider.

Also, we need to create a rule to keep teams from calling up all specs and DLing them to protect them (and still hold their 50). I could see someone trying this, forfeiting an option for each in order to protect as many as possible. Small tweak to rules should eliminate the upside or put enough penalty on downside to keep it from happening.
