Absolutely, anybody on the 40 or the MLB IL is eligible.  It's always been that way, and lots of rookie-eligibles have been purchased at auction.  And yes, the "price" for that is that their contracts are running immediately.

The literal reading of Article 4, section 3 says those players designated “minors” are still indeed eligible.
Having says that, what the Founding Fathers intended might be different ;-)
In any event, the caveat is that any player signed in the auction gets a Y1 contract, so you may end up with a bean that spends most or all of his Y1 in the minors (as Eloy did on the Lubeasts)

so on mlb.com for each team you can go to "rosters" and then "40-man," however some players on that 40-man roster are designated "Minors."  Is it safe to assume those players are not eligible?

Subject: Re: [USML Announce] Eligible for Auction That is correct. Looked it up in the Constitution the other day.
It’s how I got Eloy Jimenez in the auction draft a few years ago (and thanks to you bidding him up with money you didn’t need, he wasn’t as cheap as planned)

Am I correct that for auction only players on the 40 man roster can be purchased....but all on the 40 man roster are eligible...
