  • Rule 5 Draft - Thursday Night

    The Rule 5 draft will be held in the league chatroom Thursday night at 9:00. You can see the draft order and available players in game by going to BLB -> Rule 5 Draft

    If you have players that are eligible to be drafted, denoted by the # sign in the game, you can protect them by placing them on your 40 man roster. Please post in this thread who you are protecting however so people will know they aren't eligible anymore.

    Rule 5 Draft Rules
    --Only teams with empty slots on their 40 man rosters can select a player in the draft.
    --Players with more than 3, but fewer than 6 years of professional service are eligible to be selected, unless they are protected on a team's expanded roster.
    --Players drafted at the age of 18 or younger are protected for one additional year. They are eligible if they have more than 4, but fewer than 7 years of professional service.
    --Each selected player must be kept on the selecting team's major league roster for the entire year, or be returned to his original team.
    --Even if a selected player is subsequently traded, he must remain on that team's major league roster for the entire year.

    As this is going to be the middle of the night in England, can I do any of it remotely? I don't have any players who can be selected by other teams but there might be the odd player I'd like to go for.

      You can send me a list of the players youre interested in. If they're available I can draft them for you. Does that work?

          Do we have to pick in the Rule 5 Draft if we have openings on our 40 man? Because I don't know that there is any players available that I want to commit to keeping on my major league roster all year.

            No, only pick if you want the players. Once every team passes, the draft is over.

                My 40 man roster is now full so I will not be participating in the Rule 5 Draft. I added Fernando Turnel to my 40 man so he is no longer eligible.

                Cheers

                    Damn, I'm assuming that is 9 EST?

                    If so, I'll be working. The CPU better not mess up my drafting.

                          I'll be surprised if anyone picks. I don't think the Rule 5 will be relevant until the initial draft players are weeded out.
