I kinda think that learning about "rule 5" and free agency first when trying to learn the basics of baseball is somewhat akin to not knowing anything about cars and learning how to overhaul a transmission before you learn how to change the oil. IMHO, there are several smaller steps that should be taken to learn the game. Do you understand R/L splits yet, or why they go that way? Do you know that you would NORMALLY want your strongest outfield arm in right and why? How about situations where you'd want to sac bunt or hit and run?

I guess I don't know just how "noob" you are so please don't take offense. It just seems to me that you may be trying to learn the game tougher aspects first.
