Recently Drafted Player ... Rule V Eligible

anthonywvalentine · 11-22-2015, 05:22 PM

A player has 112 days of professional time and is already Rule V eligible. I've noticed a few players currently like this and i'm not sure why.

Standard 30 team MLB League. Just completed it's 9th season. Feeders on.

I tried cloning the player. Didn't work. I went through the editor and made him "unavailable for lists" but i'm not sure that will work when it comes to draft time.

Has he even played a game yet????

did you assign this player to your team through the editor? what you explain is what happens when this is done. cloning a player will have the same results, too. if they don't go through the draft, i think that happens, or if you for some reason reassign a drafted player.

they will immediately be available for the rule 5, you'll need to put them on a 40-man and only get 3 years to develop them.

i accidentally skipped my pick and i wasn't going to accept that as an outcome, lol. so, i went through the players picked afterward for my damn pick! later i learned they needed a 40-man roster spot when i lost him in the rule 5 - mostly my own lack of attention but just a continuing frustration from skipping that pick, lol.

it also happened when i created amateur players whom never went through the draft.

i can't remember if i fixed it... faint memory says i did... excluding them from the rule 5 might be enough.

@ no one. I thought the same thing but it shows he on a team and minor league contract of which is why I asked if he played in a game. Did think he was drafted but not assigned but they usually assign automatically when you sign them. So my one thought is if he didn't play then was he signed at all. However it does say minor league contract. I agree with you that its confusing.

He was assigned directly to Rookie League from the editor.

We had too many picks in our 2nd round so I thought the easiest way to handle that was too manually move my pick to the minors and edit the finances to account for his signing bonus.

did he play at least one game /?

okay, this is why it happened. if an amateur is assigned to a team it is not the same as drafting them. whether that is right or not, i don't know, but it works that way consitently.

maybe it is considered a free agent signing (minor league), so you have to have them on the 40-man to avoid the rule 5. although, international free agents don't work this way.

if you create an amateur and assign them to a team instead of entering the draft, the same thing happens. i've had it happen simlar to your situation too.

i've experience it before, that's why i asked about it.

they are handled differently if they are not drafted and complete the process. i am asusming the second part, because i don't play with slot compensation for draft picks.

i think if he had let the player join the original team first and get signed, then edit the player's team, it would be the typical 4 years before rule 5 eligibility, and he would get the normal 7 possible years of ownership.

i think there is a rule 5 eligibility check box, right? either way, the editor can make it similar, if not the same.
