Mejia became property of the S.F. Giants on March 18, 2011 (see http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2011/03/giants-sign-dominican-lefty-for-350000/, before our league was formed, and before the date in which we inherited all major and minor league players (May 21, 2011).  See rule:

To start off the league, each organization inherits the players and their contracts in Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball as of May 21, 2011. The Commissioner’s Office will provide organizations with their list of players.

Also note here, http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/teams/schedules/?tm_id=3236&y=2012 where he was the winning pitcher for the DSL Giants against the DSL Yankees on June 25, 2011, and here , http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/teams/schedules/?tm_id=3227&y=2012, where he is the winning pitcher for the DSL Giants vs the DSL Rangers on July 15, 2011.

Finally, note he is still the property of the S.F. Giants, on the roster of the DSL Giants: http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_ros&cid=615

Therefore, I claim him as property of the S.F. Giants.

Kenny, just an FYI... I don't have 20 pitchers under age 20 for my DSL and AZL leagues to meet the minimum.  The age restriction will result in a lot of releases that just seem to be too much, simply because players are age 20 and 21..  What is the reasoning behind the age restrictions anyway?  MLB has no such thing I don't believe. 

I'd even be in a greater hole if I had continued drafting after the 25 I have.  Of those, 15 are age 20 or older, so 14 of them are having to take the age restriction hits for my two rookie leagues.  It leaves no room for existing players who happen to be 20 or 21.

2 yrs @$500,000 = $1 mil major league contract
