Well, there is always Dump a Dog.? It would be convenient if Alexei Ramirez were thrown back into the pool.

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. . ...
