C'est La Vie League -- SEASON 26

Ready to load in the West whenever that is ready.

I am still confused by this situation and see my vote was converted to another in the above posted list. Let's be specific, at the risk of upsetting someone's prospect draft calculations.

Take Trey Mancini DH BAL, he has never been carded, played 5 games in 2016 and has no card in the current set. Is he available as a Prospect in our draft? I could choose others.

Let's do one more: Eric Thames MIL He has no card in the 2016 set; indeed has not appeared in MLB for 5 years, but he probably had cards 2011-2012. He's not a rookie like Mancini, but he won't get a card until next year, if then.

By our rules, neither of these players could have been drafted in this year's draft.Can they be "snapped up" in a Prospect draft?

Good questions, cubit. In the original league rules, this was setup as a simple either/or situation: If you were not already on a roster, then...
- If you were carded, then you were eligible for the free agent draft
- If you were not carded, then you were eligible for the prospect draft

Recently, a number of managers have wanted to see a more pure definition, such that a prospect was somebody who had not yet played in MLB (even though MLB's own website does not follow that rule).

Anyhow, both Mancini and Thames would have been available as prospects under this league's original rules -- since they do not have cards in the 2016 season card set -- but will not now be available as either prospects or free agents this year, when the rule changes to "not appeared in MLB as of the end of the season of the current card set"

Have to buy some new credits this morning, then I am in.

Anyhow, both Mancini and Thames would have been available as prospects under this league's original rules -- since they do not have cards in the 2016 season card set -- but will not now be available as either prospects or free agents this year, when the rule changes to "not appeared in MLB as of the end of the season of the current card set"

Would either of these players be draft-able in our in between seasons rules? Still no card, but plenty of play... I had both of these guys near the top of my list based on the rules as they read when I came in and our regular draft began. Not a big fan of changing rules in the midst of a draft, but I cannot claim this is a big one.

Ready to join when JMP1 does.

Would either of these players be draft-able in our in between seasons rules?

No, must be carded for both the free agent and supplemental drafts
