Re: Prospect Draft Discussion

On that note, Teheran is already in the database, so he shouldn't have to be created.

Pretty happy with my players so far, though I really thought Westmoreland would fall to me. Gordon's upside is very nice, though, and the dodgers have had good luck lately with developing their guys.

yea, I had Teheran, Westmoreland and Gordon on my list . . . I was shocked a Red Sox prospect was available. Still have four names on my list - wonder if they will fall for another pick or if I have to do more research.

Picking Jackson gives me 10 minor leaguers. Can I drop Niese and make another selection?

I don't see why not if it keeps you under or at 10 after your next pick.

[rawaction]

Problem is we can't drop players.

Actually, I think Juan might be okay with having more than 10 as long as we don't make any trades until our rosters are legal. That's also assuming that your roster is legal by the time the season starts.

yes. just indicate who you are dropping.

[Quakers]

My understanding was that after this draft is finished you can add or drop minor leaguers as you wished. (Technically after our major league draft since we will be blocked from adding/dropping players by CBS)

 

This stops when the MLB prospect draft takes place. At that point Roadkill would have another prospect draft to make sure that everyone has a fair chance at the new crop of prospects.

 

Afterwards you could pick up prospects as your heart desired.

 

 

Am I wrong?

you should have ten or fewer minor leaguers at the end of the prospect draft. I can drop players for you. You can move players up to the majors during the draft but they will need to stay there.

No, but Juan can. So if we indicate who we are dropping he can drop that player and add the new player for us.

Brian can also. In a twist or irony, there is only one team I can't add.drop to.

Let's say that Wood, or another one of my minor leaguers, has a fantastic spring and I decide to move him up to the majors a week, or two, into the season.

 

At that point can I pick up another minor league prospect so that I have 10 again. Or, do I need to wait until the next prospect draft?

[Guest]

you can pick someone up until the MLB draft.

[Guest]

You aren't understanding the question, Juan. I'm basically asking the same thing.

 

Let's pretend that all 10 of my minor leaguers get promoted at the beginning of the season and I promoted them to my major league roster. This would also be after the MLB portion of the draft, since the season is started.

 

Can I pick up minor leaguers to replace the one's who got promoted? My guess would be yes since we are all entitled to 10 minor league players. If the answer is no, we need to discuss why.

I think he is saying that once the season starts that we can pick up minor leaguers until the MLB draft of prospects in June. At that point we will have another Roadkill draft. After that draft you can pick up prospects when they become available.

[Guest]

Oh, if he meant the June Amateur draft, I'm cool with that.

[Guest]

Oh, if he meant the June Amateur draft, I'm cool with that.

yea, this. I don't think we want a mad scramble to grab the new draftees.

Agreed.

Juan, Whose team can you not add to, and is this something I can try to do?

[Guest]

Juan, I added Matt Moore to the database and placed him on Deven's roster.

[Guest]

And I've added Montgomery to DeShawn's roster.

[Guest]

Juan, Whose team can you not add to, and is this something I can try to do?

mine. I can work around it actually - there is just an extra step.

Okay. I saw that your first pick was on your team, so I didn't know what team you were referring to. However, I was not able to put my guy on my team, so I have yet to learn what exactly that extra step is. Not that I'm really all that interested in knowing.
