How do you guys handle who's eligible for your keeper league's Minor League draft -- more specifically, foreign players not taken in the MLB Amateur Draft? We're flipping around ideas to make it less convoluted in RJEL and can't come to a consensus. The problem is that there are now many foreign amateurs who sign during the International Signing Period in July, and then there's another period in October/November when many more sign. While I think those players should be eligible for our Minor League Draft, which is held in February, we had a rule that said any foreign player who signed either during the season or after the MLB regular season ended was only eligible for our auction, which was a rule designed to make foreign star players available to everyone in the auction and not just whoever held the top pick in the ML draft. And while we are allowed to hold players who didn't make the MLB club after our auction, we cannot demote them to the minors because they already have an active contract -- so, for example, if you bid on a foreign player bound for the minor leagues, you would need to hold them as an active player, which just wastes a roster spot.
So what do you guys do in your leagues to make this easier?
