Rule 5 Report

krumz · 04-21-2014, 10:18 AM

Searched through and couldn't find anything.. Please tell me if I missed it, but is there a report or search that will display all of the Rule 5 eligibles in my organization? I have been parsing through the existing draft pool and always seem to miss someone I may want to hold on to. It would be handy to be able to run this report at draft time and make some player decisions.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if there is a report but it would be nice to have a rule 5 box available on the Rosters and Transaction screen. Rule 5 eligible players are identified with a hashtag# on your roster and transaction screens. Instead of going through the pool it would be easier to go through a lesser number of players on your roster.

See screen shot.

I find it useful to check that you don't have some "suspects" on the 40-man roster that have less upside than some Rule 5 eligibles. Also keep in mind that any Rule 5 eligible lower than AAA may have passed his best before date and could be blocking a player below. Bottom line a 24-27 year old in A or AA isn't worth keeping unless you have nothing else.

Rich, thank you for the reply and information. I was aware of the '#' indicator, which is useful. Was just looking for a way to parse the Rule 5s into a single screen to evaluate before the draft. I played around with it in 14 to no avail. I was hoping 15 would offer a bit more insight.

Don't know if this will help too much, but on the day of the draft you can select the Rule 5 Draft Pool and sort by team. Not as good as having a Rule-5 filter/list on the team transactions page would be, but something quick perhaps.

Cheers,
