Rule V draft

After the mess of hiring Coaches comes the Rule V draft. The Rule V draft encompasses players that have experience but the owner has determined they are not ready for the ML and cannot protect them with the 40-man roster. It is a good way of finding decent talent for your ML team as a backup role and sometimes as a starter. Remember if you take a Rule V player, he must stay on your ML roster the entire season in order to keep him. To draft a player, you must have available 40-man open roster slots. You can draft players until all 40 slots are filled if you desire. I usually set my draft page to pick the best player available at no more than $327,000 (unless there is a player I absolutely want that costs more) and set to pick from the top 10 to 25 (this depends though on how many players I find that I want to draft). Once the players are loaded they are ranked as to how your scouting sees them (by rating), you must go find the players that you want to draft and rank them (this is why you pick from the top 10 to 25, you don't want a player drafted outside that parameter). Normally the best player that fits your needs then the next...ect. If you reset the draft page to change a drafting parameter, you will need to re-rank the players. You will not see your players listed. Why would you? You already know who they are and you can't draft them anyway. Most are curious as to where they fall in the rankings though. Normally about 40 players are drafted, but have seen as high as 70. Happy drafting everyone.
