Page : Rule 5 Draft Prospects
Location : GM's Office - Player Development

General Description - From this page, you can see your franchise's draft board. The draft board was assembled of all eligible players for the Rule 5 draft in conjunction with your specified draft settings.

Show - You may view the Top 25, Top 50, Top 100 or Top 500 of the players in the draft pool. If a user selects Top 25, then limits his search by position, the search will return all of the players at that position who fall within the advanced scouting department's overall Top 25. The listed positions are the positions the relevant scouting department projects the player to play at the big league level.

View - After selecting the number to show, users may select the attributes to view. These include Background Info, Current Hitting Ratings, Current Pitching Ratings, Current Fielding/General Ratings, Projected Hitting Ratings, Projected Pitching Ratings and Projected Fielding/General Ratings. The ratings categories are the same as those found throughout the game, but are solely based on the advanced scouting department for your franchise. The more money a franchise spends on advanced scouting, the more accurate the projections will be.

Rank - Clicking this button will allow you to rank, on an individual basis, the players that you want drafted. Your player pool will immediately reflect any changes that you make. Keep in mind that any changes you make to the position targets, weights, or player types on the Rule 5 Draft Settings page will nullify all of the previous rankings that you have made. Alternatively, any changes you make to the player rank cutoff or max salary on the Rule 5 Draft Settings page will NOT change your manual draft rankings.

Position - Please note that the position listed is based on your advance scouting department's recommendations. This means it may differ from how the player's current organization lists him.

The Draft - Be sure to read over the Rule 5 Draft Settings page. The settings you choose determine which players are ranked where and which players are selected when.
