Something that will need to think about for this league, with the MLB draft now in July, instead of June, this league allows prospects who are signed prior to our draft to be available, but with our draft ~July 1, this would make any player drafted in MLB draft this year ineligible. I can see a couple different refinements to account for this or keep as is.
1. Leave as is and prospect pool very thin this year
2. Move prospect draft to Aug 1st (or some other date, but keep FA draft July 1st, is this adequate time for teams to sign draft picks?)
3. Remove all restrictions to prospect pool
4. ????

7. oldmansmith2 - 2
8. kihoover - 2
9. tcochran - 2

Options 1 and 3 can no longer get the required 8 votes to be approved. Anybody care to switch to option 2?
To make things easier perhaps, move prospect draft to after season 1? No preference to me, Aug 1st may not be enough time to sign prospects. I guess it depends on what the intent of timing of the prospect draft. I would have to look to see when the prospect draft actually started last year, likely mid July, after FA draft completed, so Aug 1st probably not long enough to sign drafted prospects, thus option to move after Season 1?
I looked July 14th last year for prospect draft, so would probably need at least to Aug 14 at a minimum given MLB draft was pushed out a month.
