[USML Announce] USML - Draft-eligible players

Thu Mar 10 15:05:09 EST 2011

I think the answer is in section 4.3 of our Rules.  But to simplify, the only draft-eligible persons are (1) players on the 40-man roster, and (2) non-rookie NRIs on which we agree.

My apologies.  I play in a number of different leagues, all of which 
play with slightly different rules. But I am confused.  Since we allow 
teams to draft rookies that are no longer in camp I am now completely 
mystified as to why we draw a distinction between rookies on the 40 man 
and rookies on the NRI list.  Any chance we can eliminate this 
inconsistency for future draft?

But the bottom line is that I have no objection AT ALL to the inclusion 
of all rookies on the 40 man on the eligible list, regardless of 
whether they've been sent down.  The more rookies available at the 
draft to tempt Rich the better.

Brad is right. We simply use 40 man rosters and pay no heed to someone 
being
reassigned to minor league camp.  We pick a moment in time close enough 
but
before draft day to minimize last minute confusion, especially with 
people
traveling. I suspect it's all spelled out in our rules.
