I have a different question. If I drafted a minor leaguer -- like I did with JP Arencibia this year in the 30th round -- and then threw him back in the pool, and THEN bought him on FAAB when I felt the time was "right", that would render this whole issue, a non-issue, correct? In other words, this whole thread and discussion is solely about those leagues that did NOT draft the minor leaguer in question at the Draft Table ... hence the discussion about "when" he would be available in leagues that did NOT draft him in March.
Thanks for clarifying, because I like the rule the way it is for minor leaguers drafted "at" the Draft Table. correct.

just curious...did you confirm with someone at STATS that Mike Minor was NOT in their Saturday feed to Fanball? If he wasn't, then why WAS Minor in their feed to Fanball earlier in the week?
something doesn't sound right with this one... [/QUOTE]Mark at this point, does it really matter? What's done is done and I don't see the need for another witchhunt.
On other notes, I agree with Raiders & TTBoy that anyone drafted & thrown back or anyone on the opening day 25 man roster and/or DL should remain in the FAAB player pool for the entire year.

something doesn't sound right with this one... [/QUOTE]Minor was originally in there for the same reason that Hudson was in early and the other minor-league pitchers who were reported to be called up and pitch next were in the pool early. That was a programming hole I told you we fixed on Friday. I posted on Friday we finally see why that is happening and it won't happen again. He wasn't called up on Friday and shouldn't have been there.

If the available player pool were tied to the stream of players getting statistics, Fanball would not have to monitor it. A player plays on Saturday, those stats show up on the stream sent to Fanball late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, the standings are updated and the player pool is updated.
There could be the issue of someone officially called up on Thursday, Friday or Saturday but not playing in a game, but those instances should be few and far between and is thus the lesser of the potential evils. Todd is right, this is easily programmable. I've already asked about this and all agree this is much easier to implement from our side. On Sunday at 7 am ET, the player pool includes everyone with one or more MLB games played. That is easy and certainly not done by hand. [/QUOTE]if this can be done from a programming end, let's do it. i'd also include players on the DL to start the year.
