Dylan...you're up.

Alright, I'll make a ruling so that things can move along.

 

Olivera and Kang are eligible for the minor league draft and since they have no MLB at bats cannot be drafted until after the minor league draft is complete.

there is no earthly reason Kang should be in the minor league draft

 

Ryu was in MLB draft and their situations are 100% analogous

He's the same age as Olivera, right?

 

Are you worried about being able to stash Kang in the minors for 2 months? Well, Ryu was subjected to the same rule as other IFA's that were deemed major leaguers. I couldn't put him in the minors that first year. So if Kang is identical, you have to keep him in the majors.

[sneakypower]

i'm just saying it's just illogical to arbitrarily throw him in the MiLB draft

[Tracer Bullet]

I don't disagree. I think both should be major leaguers, but Olivera wasn't signed in time.

 

This is why it's great to have a determination of what IFAs are in what draft before the season starts. League came together a bit later this year though so whatever.

[sneakypower]

common sense basically dictates only three options

 

IFA signed before start of MLB draft

- goes into MLB draft

- must stay on roadkill MLB roster all season

 

IFA signed after start of MLB draft, before start of MiLB draft

- goes into MiLB draft

- can be put on roadkill MiLB roster if player is in minors

 

IFA signed after start of MiLB draft

- goes into next year's MLB draft

I'd guess there should be a "- available without restrictions through waivers if undrafted" after each of the first two

Pretty sure we had this come up in the last couple of years. The response was basically "we're not going to have an active player not available to any team for a year" so the player was shoehorned, I think into the prospect draft. Wish I could remember who it was.

 

I agree with your post, and we could undo Olivera if we give Brian his 2nd option before someone else drafts that player.

I don't think an IFA that's a major leaguer should be stashed in the minors. No reason to let someone grab an IFA and put them in the minors for 200 ABs just to see how good they turn out to be. If you want to do that, and are willing to give up one of your 3 bench spots, then fine. That's my take.

Wouldn't Olivera fit into his second category and therefore be in the MiLB draft?

Olivera signed March 24th, and this draft started March 29th, so i don't see why that pick would be invalid

this already assumes a player wasn't promising enough to be selected in 10 full rounds of drafting

 

the bolded happens all the time with non-IFAs, with the Matt Szczur / Michael Taylor / Kendall Gravemans of the world

yeah you guys are right. I didn't double check the timing of his signing.

It happens with guys who have been in the minors for years, yes. I don't think most the league follows IFAs all that closely until they're signed. So it's not nearly the same thing, imo. You don't have to agree, but I think IFAs are different and should be treated differently than late bloomers that have come up through the minors, just like we treat IFAs that are drafted in the MLB draft differently.

[UK1679666180]

Once the minor league draft concludes, if we have empty minor league spots can we add additional players?

[Tracer Bullet]

yes

[Quakers]

Tick..tick...tick....

That's your job now.

The person who picked is still supposed to tell the next guy that it's their turn. But I did pm chuck yesterday.

 

we're moving on. Chuck can catch up. Dealers is on the clock.
