If memory serves Thomas gave us a chance to promote players and then finish filling out our minor league rosters the 1st year in baseball.
Rich doing it makes me think it's ok because he's usually the guy we rely on to remember what we are allowed to do. lol

I think the first year there were a few different rules. I think Mike's point of draft 6, promote 4, and then draft 4 more giving you 10 rounds seems a bit odd....but that's what I was thinking when I first saw the promotion of Bell.

I would of done the same if I had players I could promote. lol Understand the point just thought we could do it if we had enough players ready to promote. Really thought we could fill our entire roster with college picks if we could and then could still make more picks as long as we had the open spot when it was our turn again. OK with treating it either way. Maybe make all the moves before the draft starts in future years and then only fill the open spots. OK with doing it that way and limiting it to max 6 picks a year. Good either way as long as we make it permanent.

For the football league, there were never any players in the college draft that could be promoted to the active roster, because none of them were in the NFL yet. That changed this year because we never held the college draft last fall, and are now holding it after many of these players have already been signed by NFL teams.
I went back through the 2012 minor league draft on the old message board, and there were no new rookie draftees promoted to create more draft picks. Haven't been through 2011 yet, but will try to do that before my wife wakes up and wants to get on the road. It's slow because, I'm in a hotel in Bremen, Ga working off a little screen. (Can you hear the violins playing a sad song in the background?)

Found this in instructions that Thomas issued prior to the 2011 minor league baseball draft: "First you can promote a minor league draft pick to your MLB roster after you draft them if you have the space. If you do this you can still carry 12 minor league players." Read more: sandlotsandbackyards.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=prospects&action=display&thread=85#ixzz2ZZPS2qnXIt's pretty clearly worded, and makes it plain that promoting a current draftee t create a new draft slot was perfectly legal. My attitude is now the same as Scott's - I'm OK going either way as long as we define it and remain consistent going forward. At the risk of further delay, I'd still like Dan to wave his holy scepter over this issue. Or at least sprinkle a little pixie dust.

OK, now that I've wasted a whole day, I'll offer everyone my apology for that.
Rich's pick is noted, and Jeremy is now on the clock.

Sorry about the confusion promoting Bell caused. I really didn't give it a second thought whether I could do it or not.
OK with whatever we decide to do for 2014. Must admit I like having the college draft "now" (after the NFL draft), rather than before.
and having said all that I will apologize again this time for wasting time, because I can't find anyone I desperately want to draft in round 5.
So I am done with college draft
