0 point contracts

[daroofa]

I play NYN in Beta 79 and just noticed I have 2 players with 0 pt contracts. The 2002 season just started and the 2 players (Wilson and Hellesto) are both listed as having contracts of "0 pts thru 2003".

Thats normal in the 1st couple seasons.

It's normal not to pay pro ball players? Any explaination for that?

I also have a few 0 point contracts for Colorado in Beta 48.

At the beginning of the leagues inception some players have 0 point contracts after that I do not believe they come out as 0 point players. Regardless of if you play them or not their next contract they will want atleast 1 point.

I should clarify. These are players who had at least 1 point contracts last season. Now they have 0 point contracts.

Marv Hallasto always started off with a 0 point contract but when renewal time comes about he will want atleast 1 point. No FA to my knowledge has ever asked for 0 points come renewal time.

I assumed that 0 points just meant that the player was making less than $200,000 (the value of a point). I don't remember what the major league minimum is this year, but it's right around $200,000 (it might be $170,000 or something in that neighborhood).
