Rule V Draft Heads Up

[Riverman]

I was looking over the players eligible for the Rule V Draft yesterday and noticed that quite a few teams have players on the 60-day DL. When players are placed on this DL, they are removed from the 40-man roster and, thus, become eligible for the draft if they are not added back to the 40-man roster and if they are not ineligible due to insufficient professional service.

I think you need to even add players that are still injured to the the roster as the game says that these players are eligilbe for the draft. The only way I know to do this is to place the injured player on the active roster.

But what if they still have time left on the DL? Then we can't move them to our active roster. Should we list those guys somewhere?

[Andrew]

Yeah, please list them here. I will compile the list before the draft so people will know who is ineligible to be drafted.

Players who are no longer injured and eligible to be taken off the DL should be moved to your 40 man/active roster.
