I'm confused. I still have to make a couple picks before RD 22 that aren't exclusive. I have wait, right?

Guys, the problem with opening it up before round 22 is that some of us already took a round 25 exclusive in an earlier round to free the spot later. If we would of know that we possibly would open up sooner, i would of Abernathey as a 25 round pick and taken him there.

You can excercise your exclusives at any time or if you know you don't want them release them for other teams who are out of draftable players and no we can't completely open it up until round 22

bj you have 3 or 4 exclusives still out there if you don't want them set them free some clubs are out of draftable players

or like me. I have excersized my exclusives up to rnd 22 which exhausts my picks and then I want to see what my be available to atke in Rnd 22.

Exactly. We are still drafting players who are connected to our franchises. There are a lot of 24th and 25th round exclusives. I am just asking the owners who have those to use them if they know what round they want to use them in or release them if they know they don't want them. They DO NOT have to do this. There are several teams who are completely out of draftable players and I'm just trying to scrounge up some scrubs for them

In the mean time the Yankees are acquiring all the first round rookie draft picks

Not all of them. Just added one additional one and moved up with the other ;)

...and i did give up some quality pitchers in the process

I understand... I actually see you put Hedlund in the 20th round. I still have 19th round pick to make and if we opened it up starting in round 20, then i would move Hedlund exclusive pick to the 19th round. Just let me know if we are starting before round 22. Also, since it was already said 22, i would think we would start in an even round to keep the same order.

We are not starting before the 22nd round bj I am talking about guys like Jerry May, Bobby Knoop, and Joe Keough. If you know you aren't going to draft them turn them loose for the teams that are out of players If you think you might still want them that's ok but you can't draft them all in round 25. I am trying to scrounge up some bodies for the teams out of players We are NOT changing anything

OK... sorry for the confusion. I will decide who i want to let go tonight.. I misunderstood what we were trying to do.

All unclaimed exclusive for Atlanta are now released.
