The 2007 Prospect Draft officially begins at Noon EDT today. However, picks may be made as soon as the posts containing the Current Prospects and the Draft Chart have been posted. Trip will have the first pick.
A draft-eligible prospect is defined as a hitter that has less than 150 AB or a pitcher with less than 55 IP or 20 GP and has not been on your active roster within one week prior to the draft. They do not need to be in CBS player database, but can not be still in high school/college, etc. They need to either be on a pro team, drafted by a team, or a current free agent/professional Japanese or Cuban player.
Draft-eligible prospects will not be allowed to be added to a team via free-agency once the Sunday freeze occurs before the All-Star break until after the prospect draft concludes.
There will be a 3 hour per pick clock and a 4 hour cumulative clock to draft. If you are skipped, you may make your selection at any time. If you have been skipped and not made up that pick, you will continue to be skipped until you are caught up. Time will not accrue from midnight to 8 am ET, though anyone may select during that time if their pick is up. The draft will conclude when a commish deems it concluded, not when the last pick has been made. Once the draft concludes, the only way to add a prospect is via trade or future drafts.
Complete rules can be found in our constitution on CBS.
Please check to be sure your pick is not aleady a prospect or owned by a current manager before posting and use this format:
Round.number name,position,team,Y or N if he is in our cbs database so we can add a salary to him if applicable.
Typical Entry: 4.01 Joe Prospect,SS,Cin* (the asterisk means he does not yet have a salary as he is not currently in the cbs database--a Y or N is sufficient for the draft).
If you are posting for someone else, please put their name above their selection.

With props to Seattle Zen in the Politics Forum prospect draft thread (dated July 25th):
The Chunichi Dragons placed Kosuke Fukudome (unspecified elbow injury) on the DL Tuesday, JapanBall.com reports. Fukudome must return to the active roster by August 28 in order to accrue enough service time to become a free agent this winter and sign with an MLB team for the 2008 season. He has been out of action since July 16 due to the injury; Fukudome had hit .294 with 13 homers in 81 games for the Dragons before he went down.
