Acosta drafting brings up a point. He was available for our league inception draft. Are prospects like that eligible for this one?

Acosta drafting brings up a point. He was available for our league inception draft. Are prospects like that eligible for this one? Acosta is eligible and a valid pick. He was officially signed as of January 15, 2021 ( www.milb.com/player/victor-acosta-694193). We go by the official signing date rather than reports--there are some reports of teams being linked to international prospects right now that aren't even of age to be signed. This will be more clear moving forward as the confusion is due to us having our Inaugural Player Draft in the middle of 2021. In order for an international prospect to be eligible for our Amateur Draft this year, they need to have officially signed in the calendar year of 2021. |

Are we going to let the 1st round skips stay that way? Do we need to send them emails to get them to pick?

Man, I hope our league isn't coming undone. Where are some of these teams? Hyperbole much? We've had 17 people on the forum within the last 24 hours alone. I've either heard from every GM skipped or they've logged in on the forum recently. We do already have a waitlist that is continuing to build if they drop out of the league entirely, but we can also give them a little grace because people have real lives too. Some people also just don't have as much interest in researching prospects. Though the smart thing to do (which I've told them by email) is to trade their picks because there are people willing to trade major league players who can help them sooner. For the teams who have been skipped in the 1st Round, we'll allow them to post a makeup selection until the end of the 2nd Round. If they had both their 1st and 2nd Round picks skipped, then we can give them the highest available MLB draftee who signed with their team. That enables them a little more time to either pick a player they want or try to recoup some value and trade their pick to someone else. If they don't want to do either, then this is a safety net of at least giving them a warm body in their free 2022 draftee slots. |

All I'm saying is we had 3 teams quit in the past few days and some we haven't heard from. Not making assumptions just thinking and stating the obvious. |

We also filled those vacancies immediately. I'm just trying to advise there's no cause for concern. We've actually had pretty incredible activity in our first year, especially considering how much people's lives have been impacted during this time as a result of a global pandemic. The league will be just fine.

I think we are good for sure. I have seen a dying league. This is not it.
My only thing was getting the skipped franchises some talent and I like the plan at the end of the 2nd.

The league will be just fine. That's what i wanted to hear. Before this league, I wasn't a huge deep prospect guy. This type of league is great for those other leagues where only carded players are usable and debut players are draftable. |

I think we are good for sure. I have seen a dying league. This is not it. I think that league is dead for sure now. While that is very unfortunate, it might also be to our benefit and even add a few more people to our waitlist. If you do have anyone interested in joining the league, you can send me their information by private message on the forum or by email. It's been first come, first serve to this point. I'm trying to give some people who haven't been as active on the forum the benefit of doubt if they're still expressing interest in continuing. But rest assured, we'll be able to fill any vacancies that may arise. |

I believe any Amateur that might have went undrafted through our initial draft should be eligible in this and future Amateur drafts that are being held.

This is supposed to be a quote carried over from the Draft thread ...
New York Mets Avatar Feb 2, 2022 19:43:17 GMT -5 New York Mets said: Texas Rangers Avatar Feb 2, 2022 19:31:14 GMT -5 Texas Rangers said: Closing out Round 2, the Rangers select P Robert Suárez who on On December 1, 2021, signed a one-year contract with a 2023 player option with the San Diego Padres. Invalid, Suarez has been on our Free Agency list for bidding this offseason. He's also 30 years old and not an amateur.
The criteria is "Any international prospect would need to have officially signed by the end of 2021 in order to be eligible." as stated by Art earlier in this thread ...
Suarez NEVER signed with or played for any team affliated with the MLB:
Suarez’s deal with the Padres is the culmination of a long, winding road to affiliated baseball. His pro career began with a 23-save season in 2015 with Saltillo of the Triple-A Mexican League, where he struck out 48 batters against seven walks over 47 1/3 innings. He signed the following offseason with Softbank in Japan and enjoyed a successful debut in Nippon Professional Baseball (3.02 ERA) before losing all of 2017 to Tommy John surgery due to injuring his elbow while pitching for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. Suarez pitched two more seasons in Softbank’s bullpen before moving to Hanshin for the 2020 season. There, he saved 25 games and struck out 40 batters against 19 walks over 52 1/3 innings (2.24 ERA). Suarez returned for the 2021 season and set a club record with saves in 14 straight games, breaking the previous record of 11 by former Tigers pitcher Kyuji Fujikawa, en route to a dominant 42-save season. All told, Suarez struck out 209 batters over 205 innings (2.81 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) over five seasons in Japan before the Padres signed him to a big-league deal. The stuff should work in the States, too: Suarez pairs a riding, 100-101 fastball to all quadrants of the zone with a plus split-change and a chase slider. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/padres/story/2022-01-10/padres-roster-review-robert-suarez
He signed with the Padres on December 1, 2021 therefore making Suarez an international prospect (regardless of age) who signed by the end of 2021:
Padres Sign Robert Suarez
By Anthony Franco | December 1, 2021 at 7:32pm CDT
The Padres announced they’ve signed reliever Robert Suárez to a one-year, major league contract. The deal also contains a player option for the 2023 campaign.
Suárez has never appeared in the big leagues. The Venezuela native has spent the past five seasons pitching in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball, emerging as a shutdown closer the last two years. Between 2020-21, the right-hander saved 67 games for the Hanshin Tigers. He reportedly attracted some big league interest last offseason on the heels of a 2.24 ERA in 2020, but Suárez elected to return to the Nishinomiya-based club for a second season.
The 30-year-old (31 in March) backed up his prior success with another great showing this year. Suárez dominated to the tune of a 1.16 ERA across 62 1/3 frames. His peripherals were equally impressive, as the righty struck out 25.3% of opposing hitters against a minuscule 3.5% walk percentage.
The Padres have made two bullpen pick-ups this afternoon. Suárez’s deal comes just hours after the team finalized a two-year contract with former Cardinals reliever Luis Garcia.

He's available in the Free Agency bidding bonanza this year with other accomplished veteran players from overseas like Seiya Suzuki who would also NOT be available for the AMATEUR draft even if he had signed beforehand. |

Robert Suarez is not eligible for our Amateur Draft. He is a veteran of professional baseball with a ZiPS projection who has been part of the Free Agency list we have had posted on the B1G Salaries Sheet since December 5th. Suarez is up for bidding in our Free Agency this offseason. |

If this is the logic we are following then I believe we should henceforth clearly state that only 14, 15, 16 ,17, 18 year old year J2 players who never played an inning of professional baseball (including in Cuba, Japan, Korea, Australia, Korea, China, Italy, Israel the Netherlands, etc.) are considered eligible for the so-called B1G Amateur Draft. |

Nope sorry just like in the MLB you can't sign 14 and 15 year olds, legally ( go see Adrian Beltre). So yes the AMATEUR draft is for players who have NEVER played a professional inning, 16yo kids from the Dominican/Venezuela/etc to 22yo college kids who were also drafted/signed by a real life team, not for the 31 yo relief pitcher coming over from Japan. |

which is why we say MLB  Just off the top of my head following the "Robert Suarez" ruling, Oscar Colas will not be eligible for next year's "B1G Amateur Draft" due to playing professionally in Cuba and Japan. I suspect there are/will be other such examples of players who played in Cuba, Japan, Korea, Australia, Mexico and/or various winter leagues not affiliated with an MLB organization prior to signing with MLB organization. |

The primary cause of this confusion is this is our first year and MLB messed around with the signing period for international prospects. The international prospects are the J2 class, which previously opened in July but MLB switched that signing period to January to defer costs for teams as a result of the pandemic. The experienced professional players with projections (like Colas will very likely be next year) are those who will be in our Free Agency (rather than the Amateur Draft) due to their proximity to the majors and ability to make an immediate impact.
