[USML Announce] The Winick List - NRIs

[Blocker, Mark B.]

Gang:

  Assuming that we stick with the rule "as is" (and we ignore the timeliness issue, see next paragraph), then Jeff's list needs to be pared down so that only non-ROYs are on the list.  So that we do not spend time at the draft table tomorrow paring it down, here is the way I think the list breaks out.  "Eligible" means that the player can be drafted at the auction; "not eligible" means that the player can only be taken in the rotation draft.  Let me know if anyone disagrees with this division.

  Note: the rule as written says that these sort of lists need to be submitted on roster freeze day.  Because no one has raised it, I am uncertain if people are advocating permitting this sort list to be used, even though it is late.
