[quote:2e727d538a="Frank M"][quote:2e727d538a]Another rules question/problem comment:
Per the rules, one can only draft someone from an undrafted team in rounds 2 and 3.
Under that scenario, assume that someone takes the Red Sox. They can draft/protect Pedro in rounds 2 and 3 by picking his Expo card, correct? Otherwise, the Phillies or the Mets could draft him from Montreal (assuming no one picks Expos) which would be totally unfair to Red Sox owner if the Sox owner were not accorded the same right. [/quote:2e727d538a]
The Red Sox owner DOES NOT need to draft the Montreal Card to protect. Pedro has a Red Sox card. The only situation that could arise is if the Expos are taken then how you rank them on draft card will determine who gets them. If no one takes the Expos then the Red Sox can use that card. Also the Phillies and Mets can not steal him b/c he has NO card for them. The only way they would have had a chance is if Boston and Montreal were NOT taken.[/quote:2e727d538a]
I have a question using the above as an example, after the draft if Pedro were a FA , would the mets, dodgers or phillies than have an opportunity to put him on there roster, or if do the red sox maintain exclusive rights to him if Montreal is not drafted
