Speaking of prospects - I think we need to address an issue that may come up: Japanese players
It is a foregone conclusion that certain Japanese players that will be heading to MLB next year (Hiroki Kuroda, Kosuke Fu-kodome, etc).
I just want to make sure that everyone knows that only those Japanese players that have actually signed a contract with a MLB team are eligible for the prospect draft.
Also, I think the draft order of the first prospect draft should be the same as the draft order of the stadium draft. We won't have any records to go by (unless we wait until a full season is played), so I think it's the fair thing. Any one disagree or have an alternate idea?
