Summer - Winter Keeper League Chat

[tcochran]

Since at least one manager asked to have time to attempt to make deals between roster issuance and the prospect draft, we will delay the beginning of the prospect draft until tomorrow, Wednesday, 11/11/09. Draft will begin at 10AM Eastern time, using the original rules for the league, as follows:

PROSPECT DRAFT
1) After the initial draft and after each year's annual free agent draft, there will be a four round prospect draft.
2) Each team will be able to select 4 prospects, defined as any player who: a) DID NOT RECEIVE A CARD for the current season; b) does not appear on TSN's website; and c) is the property of an MLB team. In other words, no, those who have not yet signed as of the start of that year's draft are not eligible for the prospect draft.
3) The initial prospect draft is serpentine. Draft order for the initial prospect draft will be the reverse of the draft order for the initial free agent draft. All subsequent prospect drafts are non-serpentine, with draft order based on the final win/loss records of the previous season: Reverse order, worst-record first, NFL style.
4) Owners lose rights to all prospects they release. Released prospects are eligible to be drafted as either a) free agents if they are issued SOM cards or b) prospects again, if they are not issued SOM cards for the current season.
5) There is no clock for round 1 of each prospect draft. All subsequent rounds will operate with a 2-hour clock, as in the initial draft.
6) Individual owners are responsible for their own prospect research.

Please feel free to start the Prospect draft when you are ready. I have put out a couple of "feelers" on some trades, but it will not stop me from drafting prospects. Being able to see the rosters as they are helps give some insight on how to draft.

kaviksdad:

The Excel spreadsheet with Rosters looks great. I really appreciate the effort you put into it. Thank you very much!!!

Need some clarification on this. Earlier in the thread you said that Stephen Strasburg was eligible for the prospect draft. Yet reading the section above, I interpret that to mean that any player taken in this past MLB draft is ineligible. So Strasburg wouldn't be available for this prospect draft.

Which is it?

JMP - check you PM's

[JOSEPHKENDALL]

Are we able to trade Prospect Draft positions?
