Just to remind everyone...
Players are eligible for the MiLB draft if they:
1. Can be found in the Baseball America database
2. Have compiled fewer than 150 at bats or 50 innings pitched in the majors
3. Are not owned by any other owner
I don't think we have any "Aroldis Chapmans" this year, but you never know. So, in order to avoid last year's situation, I would like to add the following:
4. Players who sign with their first MLB team after the draft has begun are not eligible, whether they are added to the database or not.
5. If a player signs before the draft but is not yet added to the Baseball America database, you may nominate him for inclusion in the draft. If he would otherwise be eligible, I will include him. All players receiving this special waiver will be announced before the draft.
6. If a player was not nominated for special waiver and is added to the BA database during the draft, he is ineligible to be drafted.
7. If there is no proof that a player was not in the database before the draft, it will be assumed that he is eligible.
Ok...it's really not that confusing. If there is a Chapman type player and you think you might want to draft him, then you need to let me know before the draft that he should be eligible. Then I will announce that the player is being given a special waiver and will be eligible for anyone to draft him. Otherwise, you can't draft him.
