[USML Announce] Non Roster Invitees

[jhwinick at aol.com]

An excellent point and one worthy of discussion.? Someone will need to vet the list to remove players that are still rookie eligible.

Also, in light of the fact that certain rookie-eligible players look likely to start the season with the big league club (like Gordon Beckham and maybe Joshua Fields) - we may want to discuss whether we ought to be making certain exceptions.? It has always seemed incongruous to me that when we draft early, we should not allow the market to fairly price guys that are likely to be big league players from the get go.? Otherwise you run the risk of outcome determinate draft selections.

Thanks Jeff.

I'm stuck in a meeting at the moment and don't have our rules handy.

As I read your message -- but without having a chance to peruse the attachment 
-- I get the sense your list might include players who've not yet lost rookie 
status.

I thought (but could be wrong) that the NRI eligible rules allowed only players 
who have already lost MLB rookie status to be added.

Can someone check our rules on that point?

Forgive me if I'm wrong on the rules or how Jeff has constructed the list.

I just wanted to flag the issue.

Back to my meeting. . .
