"So technically, the Reds drafted a player that is not even eligible for this IYFBL draft."
This is simply not true and is stated clearly in the rules. Players drafted in the June draft (which Harvey was, correct?) are eligible to be drafted in the IYFBL draft. You are confusing the ability to sign a player with the ability for him to drafted. Harvey was drafted in June which made him eligible to be drafted in our draft.
The Reds lose the rights to him if he does not sign a professional contract by the next draft. The REASON for his inability or lack of signing is completely irrelevant, whether it be because of MLB's CBA or any other reason.
I am not in favor of changing this rule. I am in favor of the simplicity of our rule. If they sign you keep them, if they don't you lose them. A little bit of research would have made it very clear in this case. If this were a player chosen for the Reds I would be all for allowing a re-pick, but John chose it himself and understands the consequences of that pick.
All this said, if a majority of the league wants the rule changed, it will be changed. No reason for me to force an issue that everyone else sees another way. I think however, there is enough sentiment on either side.

Jeez.....I wasn't attempting to give anyone any nuts here. Loosen up a bit.
I really don't have the time for all this sensitivity here.
I think I'll join JT.

I wasn't attempting to give you any "nuts". Only John the Nuts Talker does that. I apologize if you took it that way. I'm not sure your threat to leave is an appropriate response even if I were giving you "nuts". If you are looking for a reason, by all means use this one. If not, I'm very happy to have you around.
I addressed the situation once and that didn't end it so I gave a more detailed, lengthy explanation of my position. If you think I am being unreasonable, please post a poll for the league to vote. I'll be the first to vote for a rule change if necessary. In this instance I just felt the rule we have in place covers the situation.
