The Pete Incaviglia Rule

So is it time the Reds get a real left fielder and trade Yonder Alonso. The kids got potential, and Votto blocks him

What a stupid rule, seriously, if a team signs a player, they should be able to trade him.

Actually, I personally think that if a player is drafted by a team and that team cannot sign the player that the team should be able to trade his rights as well. I know that sounds odd but it might work out.

im going to have to go ahead and agree with xethicx. this is a stupid rule, a really really stupid rule.

if a team drafts someone, they should hold the rights to that player and be able trade that player if they feel like doing so.
correct me if im wrong, but if a team drafts a player they have a certain time period in which to sign that player and if they fail to do so that player's rights no longer belong to that team but instead he goes into the next years draft? which is ridiculous. that gives the player all the leveredge. if he doesnt like the team and/or isnt getting the contract he wants he can not sign and the team is screwed because they loose the player but the player can simply be drafted again where the team is left with nothing. why should any player yet to play professionally at any level hold so much leverage?

if a team drafts someone and is having a hard time signing him they should be able to trade that player.
