WBKL PROSPECT DRAFT - Finished

We should make that explicit in the rules for next season. And we should consider reviewing the carded player only eligibility for future seasons, if people don't like that rule.

Why, you made the rule in the first place when you created the league, why change now.

Because rules can be changed by a league vote.

Exactly. Thinking about next season, not now.

Do you never make a mistake, or re-evaluate, or change your mind about anything Dave?

Guys I was just using him as an example because I also figured he would be the next to sign. I'll answer anything else later as I am currently coaching right now.

This has nothing to do with me, you set the league up, not me. If you think you made a mistake, be a man and own up to it. Could of brought it up over the off season and prior to this year's FA draft. Why now, what is the reason for it?

We should make that explicit in the rules for next season. And we should consider reviewing the carded player only eligibility for future seasons, if people don't like that rule.

Simplicity and specificity are best when making rules. I'd like to propose the following:

"Only carded players in the set which we are using are eligible for the free agent draft",

"A player is eligible for the prospect draft if he does not have a card in the current set and is signed by a major league team prior to the draft. If the player maintains rookie status or was a September call up, he may be drafted in the prospect draft."

I believe we already had a debate about the first proposal when we were deciding whether to do a pre-card draft but obviously the second we haven't.

If you guys would like to vote on these we will do it on our regular forum, until then this will be on pause because of JMP picking Bundy (which I didn't notice till I got home). If the rule doesn't pass he needs to repick since he has made an MLB appearance.

Regardless of the vote however any player unsigned before the start of the draft is not elgibile to be selected in this league! Which would make a player like Olivera, or any other player from Cuba, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Dominican Republic, etc. unavailable for the draft.

Also with Michael being under the weather please have your teams ready to load when he does get in.

Wow.....I am embarrassed now...

Haha it's all good. I knew who you meant but I had to poke a lil fun at you. The Fonz could have been a great steal!

Excluding a player for 2 appearances 2 years ago seems ridiculous to me. As much as I love the game, I only have so much time to research. It's enough to find players that are unowned in the league, then having to look at other "qualifiers". Did he play one game in the majors? When did he sign? I would like to put simpler rules in place for next year. I have a demanding job and only have so much time to put into this.
