Ok, thanks for explaining this.
I don't think the number is an issue (weren't there more than 10 taken in the first ML phase in round 1 in 2017?), but if recently acquired FAs and proven MLB guys are not being moved to the 40 man, that would be rather odd. And they are ending-up in the pool (they are eligible?).
I don't recall seeing this, but that does not mean it's not happening. I mean, Rule 5 is in December right? So, you are saying that in your save, basically MLB ready FAs signed roughly between FA starting and Rule 5 are not being assigned to the 40-man by the Clubs that signed them during that period, and are being thrown into the Rule 5 Draft pool. That is strange. Could this be a setting issue somehow? Are other folks seeing this? I will pay closer attention to this during my next Rule 5 Draft.
