Greg Maddux SP atl

He was protected. Please repick.

I'll go on the low end............Tim Raines OF Mont

If you can no longer lose a player this round, please start submitting your keepers for the 2ND round.

Commish- you are on top of things! I think I understand the following rule, but could you please confirm it for me? It states: "Wildcard players may not be stolen until at least following round after being drafted. This will give owners fair chance to protect a player of their choosing." Now Example: If Yankees shortstops are drafted in Rd. 4, no one picking later in that round can use their wild card pick on Mickey Mantle until round 5, because he had a couple of seasons where ss is listed as a secondary position. Correct?

Honus Wagner SS PIT

This is a phenomenal pick.

Ty. Not my first choice, but I think it will end up working out.

Another good question. No, since Mantle does not have 5 eligible SS seasons it would not matter if Yankees SS had been taken that round.

Glad I asked!

Is position irrelevant with wildcard players?

Question #1:
Let's assume I choose John Smoltz, Braves as my wildcard player. Do I get to use both his SP and RP seasons?

Question #2:
Both the Red Sox SP and Red Sox OF's have been selected. If somebody selects Babe Ruth, Red Sox as a wildcard, does he get to use both SP and OF versions of Babe Ruth? And if so, do both people (Red Sox SP and Red Sox OF lose the rights to Ruth)?

Great questions.

1) You need 5 qualifying seasons at a single position and must id the position and team. You could then use Smoltz how you see fit.

2) Same as above except only the team/position you id when drafting Ruth would lose his rights.

I'm a little confused by the answer to #2 (the "Babe Ruth Rule"). Babe doesn't have enough WiS seasons with the Red Sox unless his 3 pitching and 2 offensive seasons are combined. As I understand the rule, if he doesn't have the requisite "5 qualifying seasons at a single position", I don't see how Babe Ruth - Red Sox could be used as a wildcard at all.

Tom Seaver is an awesome pick, in my opinion.

You're correct. I guess my answer was an if he had enough eligible seasons but you are correct in that he does not 5 eligible seasons at either position.

Didn't think he make it all the way back. Hope you weren't looking to take the Mets starters.
