[color=red:1a0968e30b]On a side note, anyway we can change the rules slightly, and eliminate the players drafted in this years draft from eligibility. [/color:1a0968e30b] I'd hate to see Strasburg sign in the next day or two, and have the lucky winner of him be the guy whose name just happens to be next up to draft. I've as good a shot of this happening as the next guy, so there is no evil or underhanded mind set by me. Just my 2 pennies.[/quote:1a0968e30b]
If you check the top of the draft thread where I posted the rules for eligibility, I've already covered this, eligible players have to be [b:1a0968e30b][color=red:1a0968e30b]signed prior to the start of the draft[/color:1a0968e30b][/b:1a0968e30b] so, [b:1a0968e30b]NONE[/b:1a0968e30b] of the players just drafted are
eligible.
And if that's why we've slowed to a crawl, we can pick up the pace, 'cause Mr Strasburg won't be eligible until the Spring FA draft, at the earliest and that's only if he signs and gets called up to the majors by the end of the year, which ain't very likely. :wink:
Oh and for all you that are salivating over him, I have 3 words:
Todd Van Poppel :wink:
