Looking to move both. Looking for a RHRP, or to bundle with an SP or other player for a modest upgrade.

Might find some interest in The Marketplace.

Throw in the illegally signed Tebow (should be Tim 16-Tebow) too and I am sure you will have a deal.

Nothing illegal about it. He's 29 years old, not subject to the MLB draft and not an international signee. When I raised the signing with a representative of the ExCo, they expressed no concerns or issues with the signing. Not that it matters, he'll be the first guy released during our actual draft.

Illegal is harsh but you and the exco member you floated it by were mistaken according to the way the rule reads. You cite two things that the rules do not state. It just says:

B. Players subject to the draft will include any amateur player who has been signed by an MLB organization during the prior calendar year.

It was a really odd scenario and we did a bad job of addressing it immediately. I only noticed it after getting back from a trip out of the country.
