The rule as it is written now gives an unfair advantage to those owners who have been in the league since it started. The owners who took over teams that did not participate in the draft will be further penalized by the change
This would be an unfair advantage to the more active teams. After all, it does not say in the rules that you cannot trade players on the EDR. The only way one becomes ineligible for the EDR is if they play in a major league game, correct?
Only players drafted by the current team are eligible for the EDR, players acquired via trade or free agency are notOnly player that have never played an MLB game are eligible for the EDR.** As soon as a player on the EDR has 1 MLB game played, they must immediately be moved to the 40-man roster or released. If the player is moved to the 40-man roster, they are subject to standard prospect contract rules. Players on the EDR may be traded, but the acquiring team must place them on the 40-man roster
As a reminder, I think there was also some discussion to only allow prospects that are currently affiliated with the MLB team in real life (not prospects a team has acquired via FA or trade).
I understand and agree. A player like Dayan Viciedo would be eligible?One question I do have concerning the Entry Draft- Will the pool be strictly those players selected in July 2010 or will minor league player not currently on our rosters be eligible also?
