He's a draftee in most other leagues, considering he was an import player that signed after last years draft.
If it's decided he's not available, I'll draft Akinori Iwamura
unless he's not available either.

After trading emails with Rich last night and this morning, I will be monitoring the draft. I will be posting selections for teams with no GM, and sending emails to GMs advising them when they are on the clock. I am doing this ensure a fast-paced draft. I will be enforcing the 12-hour time limit.
That being said:
Arizona, with no GM, selects Jeremy Jeffress, MIL org, with the #25 pick.
The NY Yankees are on the clock.

I sent an email to NY Yankees advising he was on the clock, and he replied stating he has backed out of the league. Therefore:
NY Yankees, with no GM, select Matt Antonelli, 3B San Diego org, with the #26 pick.
That means the Giants (me) are on the clock and I need some time to study since I was prepared to select Antonelli. d**nit.

And the thing with Saito is horsenuts. Something should have been said when I picked him up last April, not 6-7 months after the fact.

I agree with you Cubs. That signing should have been disallowed last April not now. In fact, I don't like the idea of created players at all. We should have 2 drafts a year but now for players not in the DB. One draft could be held for free agents in the 2006 database and a 2nd for players in the 2007 projected database. Of course, a provision would have to be made for those players already in the DB that did not play in 2006. In this case, the team owning that player could keep rights to that player, but would have to surrender a draft pick as compensation.

Here is the history of the conversation:
Pirates: 11/28/06 3:12 pm (All times "West Coast")
I'm still confused as to what players we will be drafting from. I thought that the draft was to bring in new players that were now available in the database. However, recent postings on this site lead me to believe that this draft is for players drafted and signed in the 2006 ML draft. Please clarify.
Devil Rays: 11/28/06 3:37 pm
I'll try ... under the current rules a team may have up to 5 non-SIM players on their roster. These non-SIM players had to have a contract with a major league organization prior to the beginning of the 2006 MLB season. If they signed their first contract with a major league organization after the beginning of the season (all players drafted in the 2006 amateur draft and all the summer and current international signings), they will be subject to the next IYFBL draft. If they do not meet the criteria to be eligible for the next IYFBL draft and they played within a major league organization, they are probably eligible to be signed as either a SIM (in the current DMB database) or non-SIM (not within the current DMB and denoted by the "0" on teams player lists) player within applicable roster limitations.
Commish: 12/1/06 6:44 am
Good explanation Drays. Let me know if there are any questions.
Twins: 12/1/06 8:30 pm
What about Takashi Saito on the Cubs team wont he need to be drafted?
Commish: 12/1/06 9:33 pm
If he was signed in 2006 he will be, yes.
Mets: 12/1/06 4:22 pm
Saito should be draft eligible. He didn't sign until 02/07/06, but is considered a foreign import, which I believe is unable to be signed.

The problem as I see it, is communication!
We as a league need to improve this.
We all got screwed on this one because if we were all checking in on this conversation, I assure you that Saito would not have made it past at least the 16th pick (I would have picked him, if not someone before me).
So we all have ourselves to blame for not checking in on the discussion.
The Mets took the time and benefits for it.
The lesson to be learned is we all need to get away from our reliance on emails, and check the message board as much as possible.
Rich should have followed-through and alerted the Cubs, and actually taken Saito off the Cubs roster.
We also need the Player List updated as much as possible, by seeing Saito still on the Cubs created a 'mental block' for some.
I might add (in the Cubs and Pirates defense) that in other leagues where similar things happened, the precedent set was that the signing team gets to keep the player.
But, of course we are a 'new' league and we have a lot of growing pains to go thru.
I have already lost players do to the 'growing pains' of the league and figure many others will too before we 'iron things out'.
The other league I'm in with Kelly (Giants), has been around since the mid 80's (I know, I know, before some of you were born) and we are still trying to have it run perfectly.
Let us all just try to figure out how to help Rich make things run as smooth as possible so things like the "Saito" situation don't happen.

He signed with the Dodgers on 2/7. That's before the season started and he should have been eligible to be signed according to the rules. The rules didn't say anything about being having to sign before the 1st of the year. I just don't see how the signing was invalid.
