Expansion Draft Round 8

[mikezone13]

We weren't entirely clear about pitchers with the ML service time. Pick rolled back due to the lack of clarity.

So what was/is the ruling on service time for pitchers?

It was 10 ABs for hitters so 7-10 IP or something?

Anyone else been picked or still in the draft pool that this applies to?

Not sure but at this point I really only allowed it since it was the most recent pick. Teams did have plenty of time to review their unprotected players for error.

That being said we need to decide on the pitchers protection limit.

Agree, too much effort to go back and check, but might be worth checking those still available, a quick sort by age in statslab and just check the 20y/o (if any) in game to see what ML time they have.

Sorry to be the problem child lol.

Boo!  I like Perkins, although I don't think he's a future closer.  Looks more like a solid setup man to me, but you never know with guys who are young.

I've taken Chris Irvin of Kentucky instead.

5 innings pitched is 15 batters faced - more if you include all things that are not outs, therefor not included in the IP calculation. I think that is fair.

That's a good idea. I think at this point we will just say less than 10 IP. We removed Ward (NM) and Marrald (NM) from the available players list as well as Perkins. I think these were the only players in this grey area.

Woo hoo, half way through I believe...
