[quote:f84ac32531="Ninersphan"][quote:f84ac32531="watts141"]will u list all the available players foe the FAdraft?


even though u will have 10 of them by round 3 haha[/quote:f84ac32531]


Yes, which is why it's important for you guys to check your rosters whne I send them out, because they are what I use to determine the list and if there are mistakes it MIGHT screw up the available list.

Also keep in mind, [b:f84ac32531]ALL[/b:f84ac32531] players who have played in MLB last year will be available whether or not they have a TSN card. So if you draft a guy, you own him whether he gets a card or not. It's [b:f84ac32531]YOUR[/b:f84ac32531] gamble if he's a bubble guy.[/quote:f84ac32531]

Niners, please clarify "bubble guy" and why it would be a gamble. if we are drafting after the TSN/SOM cards are released, won't we know whether or not that player has a card?

sorry for the novice question, but thanks for your help.

I hadn't thought of that to be honest with you, I'm so used to drafting once the ratings book is out for every other keeper league I'm in that, I plain forgot that by waiting for the cards to be released we'll know who has a card and who won't. :oops:

But let me give you an example, some managers may want to grab a guy just because of his potential even though he won't have a card.
For example, lets say that I, nor anyone else, had drafted Matt Gamel as a prospect last year. He had 2 ab's in the majors last year so he won't get a card, BUT he would still be eligible for our draft if I hadn't already him drafted as a prospect. And I already know of one manager in our league who covets him, so if he wasn't on my roster I'm sure he'd get picked even though he doesn't have a card.

There are other guys out there that will fall into a similar situation, I don't want to use names, because I don't want to tip my hand or do research for some of you ( I think I do enough for this league already, frankly :wink: ) .

All I want to make clear, is I don't want someone stating after the draft is over, that they drafted someone thinking they'd be able to use him and now want to drop him because he doesn't have a card.
This may effect players already on rosters too, Rafeal Furcal comes to mind. His numbers were so good, that despite the injuries he had, he might not get a card. But if he's not dropped when drops are due, there's no going back.

I hope I haven't confused things even more. :oops:

As always if I have, and you have more questions, feel free to keep 'em coming. :wink: :D

why does Tim Teblow (tebow) get all the credit???

1. great defense
2. Great offensive line
3. tons of weapons


Percy Harvin is awesome.. Teblow reminds me of Ken Dorsey. All the talent in the world around him and they seem to get the all credit.

I'll write PMs to anybody willing to deal a good RP for pick #13 in the FA draft. by good RP I'm thinking closer material. balanced against LH or RH, it doesn't matter.

BBY sends Cubs48 1B carlos Guillen in exchange for SS Cesar Izturis. Cubs48 to confirm.
