odorizzi is on chuck's team.

Where do you draw the line? i already said, i'd make all rule 4 draftees and young international signees not eligible until the following year's draft. there are a small enough number of cuban defectors and japanese players coming in that they can be decided on a case-by-case basis. most will be quite obvious (like darvish and cespedes being major league eligible, and guys like soler/conception only eligible for the prospect draft).

guys who get called up with expanded rosters in september and play in a game or two are hardly established major league players. xavier nady had a clause in his contract mandating that he get a september call up the year he was drafted. his first professional at bat was for the padres in 2001, then after that single plate appearance, he didn't have another major league at bat until 2004. going into 2002 he was about as much an established major league player as i was. i understand your position, i'm just saying that it is (or would be) a bad rule.
-
honestly, making the rules different for a guy because he got 8 plate appearances in blowouts and meaningless games during a period when teams have 85 players in their dugout is silly.

i think this is the simplest way to do things. trevor bauer was rumored to have almost been called up for the diamondbacks in september, because he was destroying the low minors and they thought maybe he could help as a bullpen arm. it didn't happen, but to me it's silly to allow whoever's nearest to the computer when they find out that trevor bauer has been called up on september 5th to claim him and keep him, or for him to be exposed to the mlb draft the following year. if there are japanese or cuban players who come over and are clearly major league ready, i'm fine with them going into the major league draft the following year, but i think the rule should be that all rule 4 draftees or young international signees since the previous year's draft should be in the minor league (prospect) draft only.

I will not only listen, I will trade the rest of my draft picks for pretty much anything.

[expletive] you. You are a piece of [expletive]. Go enjoy your child molesting university. holy cow what a meltdown. At first I thought he was kidding or it was some sort of bum related joke. He was trolling Purdue fans after the toughest loss of the season and the end of Hummel's career. He's a classy guy. lol let me assure you that i most certainly do not care enough about purdue, their fans or robbie hummel to troll about any of these things.

i don't really see how that is relevant to the ncaa basketball tournament.

that's not the draft order juan... the order is based on finish at the end of the season, not the standings on 7/31. according to a post that nccubs made at the end of the year, this is the order: then after making these trades (and changing the team names): 1st round Tim receives Alamo Stealth's 1st round pick Calvinball receives Galesburg Hand Sanitizers' 1st round pick Quakers receive Tootielicious' 1st round pick Scioscia's Tragic Illness receives Bazingas' 1st round pick Calvinball receives NSBB's 1st round pick. this is the order: 1. Scioscia's Tragic Illness 2. Calvinball 3. Harrys Budcrew 4. Mighty D-Block 5. Sock it Thome 6. NorthsideBaseball (from Alamo Stealth) 7. Kid Rodelo 8. Theocracy 9. Quakers 10.

vitters fuckin sucks -
he only played first 4 times for the big club last year and i'm guessing it's not counting all the time he spent there in the minors.

very disappointing to see beliveau struggle so badly with his control. he's improved a lot in that area in the past 3 years... was hoping that was behind him. -
people weren't allowed to pick him up last year during the season, so i don't really see why he was eligible for the major league draft.
-
if you guys had hung onto hot prospects like tim alderson you wouldn't need to draft so many minor leaguers.
-
last year we made it just a free for all after the draft. i know i grabbed randall delgado and zach lee. i suppose we could just keep going until nobody wants to go any more.
-
given that many of us already are close to the 10 prospect limit, i don't think we really need to go more than 2 rounds.
