Just have it say "International Free Agents are eligible to be drafted the year following the the Signing Period they signed in."
It removes the word 'season' from the rule since it has nothing to do with the rule.

The language is probably still in there somewhere but maybe add the exclusion of international free agents who sign MLB contracts go to Free Agency (primarily for Japanese players). There is a separate statement that covers players that sign an MLB contract.

There are two others still on the board that I think are better prospects, but I have more depth at those positions. And I love dreaming and failing on power hitting catchers.

Caba is a great pick. He's one of the guys I considered better than Liranzo. Not happy he's going to Seattle!

I was hoping Scott kept dropping into the 2nd. Good pick Jim.

Thanks man. I apparently didn’t transfer my “draft_research.xls” file when my school made me turn in my old laptop, so this was textbook starting from scratch.
I’m pretty sure Scott was the only Fangraphs Top 100 2024 guy still undrafted. Thanks again!

Fuck off. Everyone is just so tired of you being an asshole here. No wonder we have multiple teams that we can’t fill, and the list is growing.

Great pick, Jim. I am shocked that Victor Scott fell that far. I was very close to taking him with my pick but decided against it because I already had a very similar player (Johan Rojas).

I had Mena on one of my earlier draft lists. Obviously that ERA needs to come down, but hard to fault a guy who reached AA and AAA at the age of 20.
Great pick from the end of the first round, Mark!

I feel like someone has my draft list. All of the last 8 picks were my top 8, even if the order was somewhat skewed.
Damn hackers!

Hey guys, can I request we give William (the new owner) a little extra time for his upcoming pick if he needs it? He still isn't 100% sure who is and isn't available to draft. I'm sure we all remember how overwhelming it can be to start a league like this, and to get thrown into it during a draft must be even more confusing.

I pick after him anyways, and am 100% on board for that.

Detroit selects Jeremy Rodriguez, SS, NYM org Solid pick of the last remaining Fangraphs Top 100 player.

I love that Marsee pick, Ed! Every time I see one of your draft picks, I BBREF him, and then I'm like,
"Dammit. Ed got another good one."
Bastard,

I had a couple other guys slated for this pick but am pleasantly surprised to get a chance to make this pick instead: Welbyn Francisca, 2B, Cleveland I like this pick. He was on my short list for 2.01. Decided I wanted to go opposite of another young Latin kid though.

I read an article recently that says he is up to 5’11” and 185 now so thinking some power should start to show up also. At least enough to keep pitchers honest.

I think he's good even if the power is below-average. If it wasn't for the likely 2B position, I would have taken him. I'm just going to trust my gut and deal with my regrets later.

I'm surprised Mayea lasted this long. He was my target for my pick. I think some owners must of assumed he had already been drafted.

Great pick, Mark. Baldwin was the only other player I was considering with my pick. I suddenly got super frustrated realizing I’d never get both. Especially with my lack of catching depth, I wanted Baldwin badly as well.
I think he’s been very under the radar, and should break out big in 2024.

I drafted him last summer in DMBO and was shocked after seeing he wasn't owned here. Especially after the next to make the top 100 article came out. Not a huge fan of drafting catchers and I think that Austin Barnes was the only other catcher I ever drafted here, but, at late second round of a winter draft, absolutely the pick.

Apologies for the mix up. Baltimore Orioles take Wilyer Abreu - OF -Boston Red Sox You can put him directly on my active roster. Even when Ty loses, he wins. That’s one hell of a pick. JIm

Having 4 outfielders in the top 15 prospects in baseball according to Fangraphs, and a 5th that made a few top 100 lists means I wasn't trying to take another, which is why I went with the pitcher first. Maybe things will work out better this way.
