[USML Announce] Roster Eligibility Clarification

[springkerb at aol.com]

I still don't know whether or not it would make any difference for me if we draft in the suburbs or not, but I'll pass that info along as soon as I can get it.  Obviously, my schedule isn't the only consideration, but if drafting in the suburbs will allow me to see my daughters' competition but drafting in the city would not, then I'd be very strongly in favor of drafting in the suburbs.  Otherwise, I'd be neutral.

OK.  So let's go with the 40-man list on mlb.com.  I'm happy to wait until the day before the draft so long as someone can print out the most recent rosters for those of us coming in from out of town.  BTW ... where are we drafting.  I would still prefer a suburban location.

In the last two years we have used the 40 man rosters from the MLB site.  If a player was sent to the minor league camp and still on the 40 man roster, he was eligible.  I seem to recall that players sent to the minor league camp were typically pruned from the 40 man rosters as we got close to opening day.

I'm still unclear.  The mlb.com site has "40 man rosters" and "active rosters".  The latter does not include players sent to minor league camp.  As a concrete example, let's say that Rich doesn't retain BJ Upton.  Is he eligible for our draft?  He is still listed on the Rays' 40-man roster, but he is not on the active roster because he has been assigned to the minors.

You are basically right.  Here is the text of Section 4.3 of the Constitution. 
Any player on an American League team's major league roster or disabled list may be acquired in the Auction. Minor league players and unsigned players are not eligible for acquisition in the Auction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Auction shall be held before the opening day of the baseball season, (i) all players on an American League team's 40-man roster on Draft Day (or on a different day prior to Draft Day as the League, by general agreement, shall determine) will be eligible to be acquired in the Auction, regardless of expected major league status and (ii) any player not on an American League team's 40-man roster on Draft Day (or relevant different day) will not be eligible for to be acquired in the Auction, regardless of expected major league status; provided, however, that any non-rookie who is under contract with any American League team will be added to the pool of players eligible to be acquired in the Auction if any USML team designates that player to be added to the pool by Roster Freeze Day.  Any player who is purchased in an Auction that takes place before the opening day of the baseball season will begin the season with Year One contract status, even if the player is not on a USML team's Active Roster on the opening day of the baseball season.

I was talking to Jeff about this, but thought we should be clear league-wide.  Players eligible for the draft will be those players on 40-man rosters *who have not been sent down to the minors* on the day before we draft.  Is that right?
