Are we going to have to go with whatever eligibility the host site we choose has for each player? It would actually be very helpful, then, to know which site we are using asap, it will change the way some of us draft.

Can you edit the requirements? I am aware that you can on Yahoo. I've always used 5 games started or 10 games played to get a new eligibility.

Not positive about CBS, though it seems the least popular option, anyway. Can someone who knows about ESPN chime in?
I'd really prefer Yahoo, ESPN makes my eyes bleed.

The ESPN interface is really balls.

Ok so quick question here, MiLB prospects (250 AB/100IP and lower) are not eligible for the MLB draft right ? Or is it basically if they played a MLB game they are no longer eligible for the MiLB draft so there basically is no 250 ab 100 ip limit kinda thing

Second one. If they've played a game, they can be drafted in the major league draft.

Matt Moore pitched in the playoffs i think, not sure about the reg. season though. He can be drafted right?

ESPN's interface is highly preferable to Yahoo!'s (and they have a deeper player universe). On ESPN, a player must have 20 games played in the previous season or 10 games played in the current season to qualify for a position.

Deeper how exactly? More prospects?

You cannot customize the eligibility settings on ESPN. The 20gp the previous season/ 10 games in season rule is hard and fast. Yahoo/ESPN are both fine but positional scarcity is much more prevalent in ESPN. We need to decide on this before we get much further through the draft.

If you can edit the requirements on Yahoo, I would prefer that, but how much shallower is their prospect pool? I really don't want to be limited by Yahoo's idea of what is a viable long-term prospect and what isn't. I'm going to do a little cross-referencing of both sites with some top-100 lists. BRB.

If we are maintaining Prospect rosters here on the proboards site there is no need to be limited by the prospect pool on the host site.
We should be able to draft any player signed by an MLB org.
Yahoo/ESPN/whoever will certainly have any player that you'd actually want to roster on your 26-man MLB roster who is close enough to the majors. They mostly just miss org. filler guys and Rookie/low A ball guys.

Ugh, well, Yahoo's player universe is currently not searchable, or at least it's prohibitively obscured since their fantasy baseball is closed, but ESPN is way less than ideal. Current top 100 prospects not available include Dylan Bundy, Bubba Starling, Gerritt Cole, Jake Odorizzi, Carlos Martinez, it really goes on and on. That's pretty unacceptable. Are we really going to limit ourselves to what ESPN or Yahoo deems a roster-able prospect? Can we not just use this site for our minor league rosters, assuming that any player that we would be calling up to our major league roster would have been added by then to the player pool of whatever site we're using?
