I'm not sure, but is NJ Upton eligible to be picked up via WW? I don't see that he was drafted and he hasn't played a game yet this year.

Upton was added to the free agent list of the seven NFBC leagues that he wasn't originally drafted in at 12:12 today after he was officially called up by the Devil Rays. I haven't looked over all of the winning bids yet, but apparently Gordon has. Sorry if you weren't able to get him via free agency.

I thought a player had to play for the team before he is eligible for FA. But it does state he only needs to be on the roster. That's cool, I would have not bid on him anyway, don't want to take the chance with a teenager.

And yes, I did see he was aquired (duh, that's why I asked). Thank you again Gordon for being completely useless. Next time, make sure you actually have something usefull to say.
