Directly from our updated draft rules posted below our league rules:
"One exemption involves international free agents (IFAs) coming to MLB from foreign professional leagues. Players who are at least 23 years old and who have played three years in a recognized professional league, such as Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, will be exempt. Beginning in 2014-15 IFAs must have five years of pro experience to be exempt. These exempt players will be available via our leagues free agency process sometime towards the end of February each off season."

As stated above, these players are not eligible to be drafted in our 2014 MiLB draft. They will be posted at a later date and will have to be won via our leagues free agency process.
With that being said the 2013 MLB IFA class is as follows:
1B - Jose Dariel Abreu - CHW (26/Cuba)
OF - Dariel Alvarez - BAL (24/Cuba)
1B - Japhet Amador - HOU (27/Mexico)
