1. Change prospect rule to any player who has never appeared in a MLB game but in under contract to MLB team.

2. To change to the unleashed set of cards for the FA draft.

I would hope these changes would end any debate as to who is or isn't available. Again this will mean that some players will not be able to be drafted in either draft, however this should only strengthen the following years FA draft. If you have a player currently on your roster that in uncarded he is still able to maintain a spot on your roster and is available for trade.

I think it is important to decide one way or the other before cards are released so that does not influence people's decisions.

Please vote yes or no to both. 8 yes votes needed to change rule.

I will note that we've been through this vote before which is why the rules read STANDARD set (caps are in the rules), and the rules on prospects were very purposely created to allow the choice of any player who was not carded.

I don't have any great opinion on the worth of either way on either vote, so as it seems like there's enough momentum to shift to unleashed (though I do like "unleased" ) and change the prospect rule, I'll vote yes on both. We can always re-evaluate again next year.

That should close out the vote on both questions.

My apologies that I haven't been more present, but life intercedes on occasions. I (we) are lucky to have Rosco who fills in ably. Thanks Rosco!

Two words for unleashed being included...

Whoo Hoo

Now that, that is out of the way, anyone hear anything about when the ratings book/spreadsheet download will be available? Considering the board game launches on Feb 8, I'm a little suprised that we haven't heard a peep from Strat reguarding these products.

If I had Brett Anderson, I would be excited, too. LOL

I'm covered even if he doesn't

I'm not sure he'll even get an unleashed card, he may well be a computer only player. He made 6 starts, but only pitched 35 innings. VERY borderline to even make unleashed, I'm not counting on him, but boy will I be thrilled if he does get a card.

OK, Still looking to move players to get down to 30. Dropping the demands on some of them. Get them while they are cheap.

Here is the available list and what I want for them:

All are negotiable, give or take a round and may just take a best offer.

Position players:
Clint Barmes (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Eduardo Nunez (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Chris Heisey (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Michael Saunders (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Will Venable (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Placido Polanco (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)

Pitchers
Dallas Braden (8th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Nate Eovaldi (6th Round FA or 2nd prospect)
Zach Britton (4th Round FA or 2nd prospect)
Ervin Santana (7th Round FA or 3rd prospect)
Jeff Karstens (6th Round FA or 2nd prospect)
Edwin Jackson (3rd Round FA or 1st prospect)
Derek Holland (4th Round FA or 2nd prospect)
Andrew Bailey (7th Round FA or 3rd prospect)

If I had Brett Anderson, I would be excited, too. LOL

Got to admit I feel kinda silly trading him last year.

Anyone hear from Peter lately? Not like him to not check in on a regular basis.

..and thanks for the compliment RANT.
