In this instance it appears to me that no one but the Phillies can pick up Halladay, right? He would become one of the very few protected players. This two round draft appears to be either protecting or stealing a couple of players - then it's a free for all.

I can see a huge disparity with only a very few teams able to make the 125m mark.

[FRANKMANSUETO]

Thaibill, if no one picks the Phillies or Blue Jays then Halladay CAN NOT be picked up. A player is eligible to a franchise as long as he had 1AB or 1IP. How would one steal a player? Players that are eligible to be drafted only can come from undrafted teams and they would have had to played for your drafted team. If that is protecting a player then yes, its why we are having a 2 round player draft.

Frank, your example was Phillies in and Blue Jays out. I understand that if no one takes Kansas City, Brett is off limits.

Sorry, but I must be slow today, Frank. This sounds to me that if the Pirates and Giants are both taken, Bonds cannot be "protected" by one or the other in the 2-round draft and those two teams will have to take their chances in the auto-draft? Are we on the same page?

[FRANKMANSUETO]

Yes.

Sorry guys...just got home from Eagles game...which obviously leads to my first pick....

I will take the Phillies and let the powerhouses for the rest of you guys.

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.
