In the league I run (via Yahoo) we account for just the situations you've asked about. Under our rules, if Street were drafted but not in the database, the team drafting him would retain his rights so long as they kept an open spot on their roster. If he were cut before being added to the database, then he'd revert to the rule governing undrafted players missing from the database -- nobody could claim him until he was added to the database, in which case it's the first person to add him to their roster who gets him (we have no waivers in our league). The previous poster was right when they said you shoulda kept your yap shut and you would have likely been able to add him without any fuss in a few days. He's a major longshot, anyway.

Just how deep is your league that Huston Street and Mr. Koo are valuable commodities (unless you're in a keeper league)? I'm in a nine team NL-only league that has thirty-deep rosters and Koo isn't anywhere on our radar screen.
