[USML Announce] NR Aye Aye Aye

[Richard Robbins]

Here is the text of our Rule 4.3.  The end of the next to the last sentence
explains what needs to happen for non-rookie non-roster invitees can be
added.  We've typically been flexible about when the list is circulated.
Anyone is free to compile a list of non-roster invitees who have lost major
league rookie status.  Those players will be available.
 
-- Rich
 
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.

JHW: Your missive suggests that some criteria exists for selecting which
non-roster invitees will be available in the auction. Is that true or are
they all fair game? I know mlb.com maintains a list for each team--just
click on roster and scroll down. Can we work off that?

Thanks Rich. I agree that we should work off of these lists subject to any
NRI additions which we agree upon ahead of time. I will have some names to
propose later tonight.
