Or would Montero be eligible since he didn't play before we started drafting?

This is like herding cats :lol:. My interpertation(sp?) of the rule is that anyone who has played a MLB game in 2011 is not eligible for the prospect draft, but that could be wrong.

Btw, who stole my proxy list- the last several picks almost perfectly match who I was going to take.

Hi,

I tried to set my proxies but they didn't fire. You might want to find a replacement for me I would hate for this slot to be getting skipped and ruin a long draft like this.

Do you have proxy's on and did you save after switching from off to on? Also, they might not have fired because the clock was off. Maybe try again with your next pick before giving up.

So, how and when do we claim anyone who does not have a card in this year's SOM game set but does get a card in next year's game (por ejemplo, Rene Tosoni)? Spring Free Agent Draft? Seems like there will be a pretty large pool of talented players with just enough MLB experience to make them ineligible for the Prospect Draft...unless I am now a confused pussycat...

[b:aab9409dd0]3) Only those players without MLB experience and signed prior to the start of that MLB season, are eligible for any prospect draft. [/b:aab9409dd0]


OK, went back and looked at this rule. Since I didn't write it (just pasted it from our other league), I was not sure myself.

But, according to the rule, Trout and Harper are available. Gerrit Cole is not. It is all dependent on before the MLB season, not our season. And we stick with the rule. So, the newly drafted guys will be eligible in our next prospect draft. Trout and Harper are now.

[u:2501fda629]Yes, players like Bartolo Colon can only be drafted in the next FA draft. True Rookies can be had in this prospect draft. Guys just drafted get slotted in the Spring FA draft. [/u:2501fda629]
