Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Okay. It makes sense, thanks for clearing that up you guys. Is there a rule that specifies which international players can be taken, or is that decided on a per-player basis? I know Tanaka and Abreu have been deemed eligible, but I'm not sure on Alexander Guerrero, Suk-Min Yoon, Aledmys Diaz and others. If they're in the database, they're eligible.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Guys like Alex Guerrero and Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez will probably be 1st round picks. It goes without saying that Abreu/Tanaka will go first and second.

z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I don't know, I'm kinda leaning towards Suk-Min Yoon. Because I like his name, and like saying it.. When you take Yoon, I void our deal that I don't draft Abreu
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Zeros, I think you should take Abreu first just to f*** with cats ass. He'd be totally screwed at 1B. Plus I just think Abreu will be a better fantasy asset.

Plus I just think Abreu will be a better fantasy asset. f*** I think they should just let Tanaka slide to #3 overall. All that money will go to his head I don't think it would be a worthy investment.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 You guys really need some clarification. Abreu and Tanaka haven't played above A so they're technically ineligible to roster until their first game. They're IFA with major league contracts. It's a fantasy league, common sense > every loophole that someone can find.

NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 You guys really need some clarification. Abreu and Tanaka haven't played above A so they're technically ineligible to roster until their first game. Yep. We need an official definition of "International Free Agent." I suggested "a professional player who was eligible to sign a Major League contract when he was an amateur."

Don't listen to him Zeros, be the better man!

havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Not to mention my 1B situation is s*** as well . Call it bad strategy, but I'll be honoring my word lol. Or you could bypass both players for future HOFer Alex Rodriguez.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Or you could bypass both players for future HOFer Alex Rodriguez. I do need another 3B to go with my other 3 for 2015
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I've got a shitload of guys I don't want to cut, I can't believe there's no take for MIF'ers, they're coming out of my ass!! Not to mention an OF'er or a rising SP? Post the guys you can't keep here, maybe you'll get a bite.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 How does no-one ask for Jeter if they're going for it, yeah his d sucks but who cares. I'd have interest in jeter if I didn't already have E Coboli
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 How does no-one ask for Jeter if they're going for it, yeah his d sucks but who cares. I'm relying on Jeter to help me "go for it" in FC this year and it's pretty terrifying. I don't even LIKE Derek Jeter.
Laika Community Moderator Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Players subject to international cap restrictions shall be considered prospects, and as such, ineligible to be taken in the Rule 5. They can be selected in the next rule 4. Or, if they somehow hit AA and hit Yahoo's database while they are still unowned, they are waiver claim bait. Players who are older and aren't subject to international cap restrictions can be taken in the Rule 5. (Ryu, Tanaka, Abreu, Adelmyis Diaz, Alex Guerrero, Miguel Alfredo sauce whatever, etc.) If these weren't already common sense, then they are new rules. I think that covers all the bases. Only point of question might be players who sign big league deals despite being subject to international cap restrictions. We could just say that all big league deals by an international make them rule 5 eligible regardless of age.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 PM me here, or on the weird new site, lol. I'll get in touch later tonight.
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 OH Great when I'm pissed drunk, lol. That's when you make your best decisions isn't it. I am way more decisive when I am drunk anyway. Lol I think I made 3 picks in last years MILB draft while at a bonspiel just piled. Safe to say only one of those picks are really working out.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 OH Great when I'm pissed drunk, lol. Fine send you a pm so we can get this started while you have some semblance of coherence.
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Fine send you a pm so we can get this started while you have some semblance of coherence. Just curious, did you get my PM last night? I think I sent it, but it's possible I might have closed the tab before I sent it.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I replied directly to your email this morning (or at least I thought I did). The short answer is "no".
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I replied directly to your email this morning (or at least I thought I did). The short answer is "no". Ah okay, thanks anyway. Edit: Actually nevermind, I got your message.
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Fielding Offers on A.J Burnett and/or Edwin Jackson if you looking to add to your rotation. Easiest way to get a hold of me is to email me or PM me on proboards.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Yahoo opens today, does it not? Is anyone else excited?
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Yahoo opens today, does it not? Is anyone else excited? Yep! I'm fired up. Should only be a couple more hours, they usually open at 6 pm or so.
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Yep! I'm fired up. Should only be a couple more hours, they usually open at 6 pm or so. That's pretty sweet. I thought yahoo fantasy baseball wouldn't open until first or second week of February.
havok24 Old-Timey Member Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 So much truth to this.......... Sent you a PM.
torontofan Verified Member Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 So...anyone want Michael Young
