Okay, one final poll. This concerns letting us sign "prospects" who are actually playing in the majors. Prospects would be eligible for free agent bidding as soon as they are called up to the majors. They would then be treated like any other MLB player (i.e. they can't be demoted, would count against the cap/25 man roster, etc.) This seems to be a compromise to those split regarding the previous poll.
Will we be allowing the previous years draftees to be signed? In this cares it will be most likely the top picks if anyone getting a look and while it doesn't happen too often it could exclude them from our draft

It would be a pretty black-and-white rule. If a player is unowned and currently in the majors, he can be nominated and signed to a major league contract. It wouldn't matter when/were they were drafted. We're only talking about a handful of players in the last 10 or so years that made it to the show the year they were drafted. I don't see a reason to exclude them.

Usually even the best players drafted in June don't see much if anything above A or AA ball their initial year (but I wouldn't mind just putting a stipulation that the current years Draftees are ineligible - again, you are talking about 2-3 guys a year that would even qualify as again they'd have to be called up to the big leagues)
Let's set a game cap. After say 20 starts SP and 50 starts fielders that they have to be on the major roster and can't be stashed in the minors. We do this with my hockey pool and it forces teams to make decisions on players

Wow, this one's a landslide. I'll update the rules section.

Red Sox (Kris): We still have a MAX 20 prospects, correct?
Feb 26, 2024 9:15:10 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Yes. 20 prospects is the MiLB max, you either need to drop a prospect or call someone up if you are over that limit.
Feb 26, 2024 11:56:08 GMT -5
Red Sox (Kris): I don’t, but I know that some do. So, to be clear, we can draft over the 20 limit as long as we cut down before the season starts?
Feb 29, 2024 23:45:26 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you should be dropping a player anytime a draft pick or trade takes you over the limit of 20. I must've missed it but Yankees needs to release one of his MiLB players, they are the only team over the limit right now

Red Sox (Kris): Thanks for clarifying

Rockies (Jose): Is Yuki Matsui rostered?
Mar 12, 2024 16:15:04 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you can't bid on Yuki in free agency until he pitches an inning in the MLB. You could have drafted him in the MiLB draft, but players that haven't made their debut can't be nominated in Free Agency.

Mariners (Rook): I do believe Ronel Blanco free agent final bid of $3/3 by LAD is invalid and the player should be returned to free agency. That was LAD last transaction and it put his cap -0.25. We can’t go negative cap. What say you?

Ryan (Cubs): @mariners, correct. LAD's bid on Blanco put him $.25 over the cap so the bid is invalidated. I've messaged LAD and dropped Blanco from his roster
