2026-27 EBA Player Draft (Rule 6)

Post by recte44 » Sat May 28, 2016 11:36 am

DRAFT OPEN NOW. A little different this year as there will not be live drafting with time frames, but rather all drafting will be via lists. PM me with a list. Deadline is Tuesday 5/31, 8pm Central.
Off Topic
The EBA Player Rights Draft (Rule 6 Draft) takes place after the MBBA championship series and consists of one round. It uses the same draft order as the upcoming Amateur Draft. Each MBBA team will be allowed (but not required) to draft the rights to one active EBA player, with the following stipulations:

· Player must have at least 4 years of EBA Major League service time OR be a former MBBA player with any amount of MBBA Major League experience

· The draft selection will cost the drafting team 10PP

Each player selected in this draft enters the upcoming MBBA free agent pool. As such, any MBBA team may sign any of these players. However, the team that drafted a player in the EBA Player Rights Draft retains the rights to accept said player on his team, along with the exact contract that he signed as a free agent. As such, once a contract has been finalized with a player selected in the EBA Player Rights Draft (assuming by some other team than his drafting one), his drafting GM will be notified by the League Director and will be given 48 hours to state whether he will exercise his right to the player and have him join his team under the contract terms. If he declines to exercise his rights to the player, or does not give an answer within the 48 hours, the player is retained by the team that signed him.

Pretty weak crop this year. Hopefully I can snag someone at #8.

You can definitely snag "someone". Out of curiosity, how deep is your list?

I have to imagine you're happy with that at #8. Looks like a steal.

I'm surprised Glas made it to #8. I left him off my list specifically because I figured he would be gone. Which, of course, he was gone for us.

We're happy to get dibs on Ghezzi at #10. Possible serviceable catcher. We shall see.

Damn, I thought for sure Ghezzi was flying under the radar. Good pick Ron. 7/6/6/5/8 VS LHP, decent defense, high leadership/Intelligence. Should be a solid platoon catcher. Rien van de Wijngaard is the only name that I wasn't expecting. Definately nothing special, but in this scope, if he's better then you're 40th best player, no harm done.

Yeah, looks like he could be a decent C for you (or anyone for that matter). Glas looks good but not the right fit for Tucson right now for various reasons.

My list expired. It wasn't long. :)

Ghezzi is probably strictly a good backup catcher, but he is that.

Yeah, it is hard for me to get excited about someone who hit .270 with an OPS+ under 100 in Europe. Still, he'll probably be at least as good as Shafer

I probably wasted 10 PP on Dubois, but if we somehow end up with him, he'll keep the pressure on Oh to perform if Rutledge is in LF, or he could walk his way to a bottom 1/3 of the lineup starting role if Rutledge slots in at 1B/DH.

It was five names - including someone that went undrafted, surprisingly.

I think at the least he's a 4th OF with a good glove in all spots and some power. Can't go wrong with that. For someone who participates on the forums a lot and writes features, 10 PP isn't much.

Hell, someone spent 5 PP to give Dave Wilfer the nickname Dave Wilfer!

These guys all suck. Dubois is the only guy that has a chance at being a player you're happy to have in your every day lineup, and that depends on whether his contact is closer to 4 or 6. The end. I wouldn't pay more than 2 mil for any of them except Dubios, who I might give 5-6

Was very tempted to pick Altabani because I think he'll end up being cheap and I could use a righty platoon player with Barron on the way out.

I think he's far closer to 6 than Talboom, but probably somewhere around Barron/Martinez on our club.

I think he's worth paying about 800k tops. He has marginal value in a platoon role, and I bet you can get some old guy of the scrap heap for less than an EBA import. Hell, I have 5-6 guys in AAA alone that could do better. Want one? I request Rutledge in return.

I still think that besides the elite "Savage like" players, this draft helps the EBA more then it helps the MBBA. Take Rome for example. Yes they lose a good SS in Becker, but they can pick up a guy like Jorge Franco. He'll be a 4 WAR player in the EBA. He is essentially Tracy Warner with more power.

Yeah I think a lot of these rule 6 draftees are more about filling needs than finding superstars.

Yep. If someone bids Ghezzi too far, they'll have an expensive low-end starter/backup. Otherwise, I'll have a cheap one. :) If you've seen YS's catching situation, it's hard to see it getting much worse with the inclusion of Ghezzi. :)
