I think that we should assign this task to Brad.  Thanks in advance Brad.
Please circulate the updated list by the end of the day tomorrow if
possible.

You know, Brad is like a CEO.....he is constantly delegating tasks to others
but I am never quite sure what he does himself.

So will JHW circulate an amended list?

I've had a chance to read the rules.  Section 4.3 clearly addresses this
situation.  Under our rules, only non-rookie NRI players are eligible to be
designated for inclusion in the auction by any of us without other league
action.

 

I won't object if people agree that another collection of players should
also be eligible -- but I think that that list should be by league consensus
rather than simple designation by any one of us.  In keeping with recent
year's debates, I trust that we will rely on the rules as written if going
beyond the text of our rules garners less than some sort of super-majority
support.

 

We've always needed to accept the fact that pre-opening day drafts are less
than perfect.  I'm not sure where I stand on the substantive issue Jeff
identifies.  I can see good reasons on both sides of this one.  

 

One thing that is clear to me though, is that this is not the best time to
tinker with our rules.

 

You guys are going to pick me clean on Sunday.  Please have mercy.  Who is
this Devine guy anyways?

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. . ..
