How do I look at the draft list?

Go to your Manager Homepage. Under the "Transactions" section select the "Review the Draft Pool" and that will show all the Rule 5 players available.

In my game, the menu that has the scores and schedule, etc, had two options at the top: Rule 5 Draft and Rule 5 Draft Pool.

wierd, it didn't get my latest update to the post...

seems like there's at least 1 guy in the Rule 5 list that's actually on an active roster!  St. Louis Storm first baseman.  I can't remember his name right now, but i saw him last night. No idea if that's an isolated case, but he was the only one I saw.

Never noticed it there, but it is under the "BBL" dropdown menu first 2 items in the list are Rule 5 draft and Rule 5 Draft pool. The Pool link goes to the same page as the one I mentioned.

I just looked at the Rule 5 pool (great working from home full-time! Such freedom! ;P) and it appears the STL 1B Alfonso Breton is listed. No idea why since he is on the major league roster which means he's on the 40-man roster which should have automatically protected him. That is very strange.

Paging through the 11 page listing of the Rule 5 pool found some other MLers:

1) SP James Blea, Texas
2) MR Michael Bashir, Texas
3) SP Robert Weaver, Texas
4) SP Donavan Kyle, Texas

Investigating it, I found the following:

For 1B Alfonso Breton: Somehow he is on the ML 25-man roster but he is NOT on the 40-man roster. WTF? How is that even possible? You can't be on the 25-man roster w/o being added to the 40-man roster, so has to be a bug somewhere.

For the Texas foursome: All those players have been DFA'd (still have 1 day left before clearing and demotion)  so they are not longer on the 25/40 man rosters for Texas anymore. I guess the Rule 5 listing just shows them as MLers until the waiver period is completed.

So, I guess only the Breton one is a real stumper.

Ahhh, I can explain Breton. I had to edit him back onto St. Louis, since there's been a little roster cleanup after the conversion. Some extension offers disappeared, as well as some releases that were in progress.

I guess just editing players and adding them to a team doesn't necessarily fix their Rule 5 eligibility or put them on the 40 man roster.

So yes, Breton is off the table.
