[USML Announce] Draft Eligibility - PLEASE VOTE

[john.fruit at usbank.com]

I vote for option #2  ( I think part of the attraction is that it splits up
the available talent pool between auction and rotation).

I believe that a consensus is forming around option number 3.  The only two
individuals who have voted otherwise are Klein and Blocker and
well......what else is new?

The only remaining issue is the one that Rich identified:  Do those who
voted for option three want to limit the list to players who have exhausted
rookie of the year eligibility or not?  On this issue there appears to be a
split.  It sounds like Jim agrees with me that there is no reason to
distinguish between rookies on the 40 man rosters and rookies on the NOI
list.  On the other hand, Rich along with a few others want to limit it to
just players without ROY eligibility.

So.....one last vote:

1.    Eligible players shall include players on the 40 man rosters and the
listed players off of the NOI lists (including ROY eligible players who may
make the opening day roster) or

2.    Eligible players shall include players on the 40 man roster and the
listed players off of the NOI lists (NOT INCLUDING ROY eligible players who
may make the opening day roster, i.e. Crain, Blanton and Reed).

Thanks.  Lets try to get this wrapped up today.
