    Question, 93D:

    I have the first pick and I have the highest waiver priority. This is a bad example since it's not going to happen, but let's say Matt Wieters makes the club out of ST (he won't, but there are players who will who aren't in the Y! game yet). Does the team that picks the O's system get Wieters or do I get the first crack at him through waivers?

    So sometime between this posting and the draft, this apparently changed, and it definitely needs to be resolved.

    Hey I need some pitching.
    A-Rod is on the table, so if anyone wants him I would like a mid to low starter and a mid closer or a top closer and a mid reliever.

    Agreed. This will alter my minor league draft choice. I'm basically wondering if I draft TB.... Do I get Price?

    I think since the draft is over, then we go to the farm system thing. If you wanted to use a spot on Price or Wieters then you could have used a draft pick on him. That's why we are doing it that way right? So we can use the farm systems?

    That's not how understood it. I thought Price wasn't going to be on a ML roster, so you couldn't keep him. And Wieters couldn't be drafted since he wasn't in the system.

    So weird, a friend of mine has Wieters on his team, he was available in early March. I don't know what the deal is.
    I think that if you drafted Baltimore, you should get the players in the farm system and members of the team that are not available as of draft time that are members of the team, which would be Wieters.
    However, I see what you mean, and we do need some clarification from the commish on the issue.

    The commish said immediately before the draft that anyone who started the season in the minors would be property of the minor league system, even if they were drafted. He said the drafting player would lose the rights to any players who started the season in the minors.

    Because that ruling changed the way some of us drafted, I don't think we can reverse it now.

    Sounds good to me.
    I wasn't at the draft, so autopilot kept me from drafting any kiddies.
    Can't wait to draft my farm club at No. 3.

    Well, if Price is on the TB minor roster, I choose TB with my first pick.

    OK, just to fuck things up a bit...

    Am I crazy, or is Colby Rasmus not in this thing yet?

    The SOB will be a starting OF for St. Louis this season, but he was not in the draft. I am guessing he is going to pop up on the waiver wire soon, which is bullshit.

    OK, unless Price stays in the ML, he is the property of the Rays ML system. If he is demoted, he is part of the minor league system. Since Rasmus was not part of the draft, I will consider him part of the Cardinals' minor league system.

    If Rasmus pops up on a ML roster, he is property of the team drafting the Cardinals' system.

    Wasn't this our pre-draft conclusion?

    & Trey, you want to trade OFs or for OFs?

    & you're right, the Rasmus thing is odd, I have him (FA) in a different league.
