Last year, there was an issue with the Rule V draft, where the computer failed to draft a player that an owner wanted. That player was Jesus Garcia. As a result of the dispute, I awarded a "copy" of Jesus Garcia (named Ramon Garcia) to Atlanta.
When I awarded Ramon Garcia to Atlanta, I put him on the team's active roster, but I failed to put him on the 40-man roster as well. That was an oversight on my part.
As a result, Garcia was never added to Atlanta's 40-man roster. I can't blame Jeremy for failing to notice that Garcia wasn't on the 40-man roster since, logically, any player who is on the 25-man roster should be on the 40-man roster (and wasn't in this case only due to my oversight).
Jeremy has emailed me that since Garcia has been on his major league roster all year, he should be on the 40-man roster. I agree with him, especially in light of the fact that it was solely my error that led to Garcia not being on the 40-man roster.
As a result, I have added Garcia to Atlanta's 40-man roster. In addition, I am declaring that he is ineligible to be drafted in this year's Rule V draft.
If anyone has any questions, I will be more than happy to address them here or by email.
