PROSPECT DRAFT
1) There will be no prospect draft in this league, until we have played all of the older seasons. When we get ready to play a brand new season, along with all other keeper leagues, then we will adopt prospect draft rules similar to those in common use at that time.
2) Effective with the 2012 season, we will hold a prospect draft after the annual free agent draft, with managers drafting up to 2 prospects per year -- prospects are those players who have never received a card yet and draft sequence will be random and serpentine.
3) Prospects may be held indefinitely, until such time as a player receives a card, at which point the prospect must be either promoted or dropped -- with managers holding no more than 4 prospects at any one time.

Will post my 1st pick tonight. Offering 1st round FA pick in 2013 for a pick between 2 & 6 in this prospect draft.

I'll pick right after Willmurr have confirmed

I must say the prospect draft has turned things upside down, and fixing it will be a disaster since picks have already been traded over and over and continue to be. It has effectively neutered next season's free agent draft. the 24 best players will be gone, and by making the order random, some of the best teams will get some of the best upcoming cards. it should be players who have yet to play a major league game, not without cards, so it would be a true prospect, and guess work as to what his minor league numbers really mean, or how soon he might be called up or ready, or POSSIBLY get a card for next season. naturally I say this because my future is particularly crushed by it, randomly getting the 9th position...but without competitive balance, or the teams getting drilled having a chance to improve in the near future, or at least compensated fairly for their futility, the 25 dollar a season investment, now TWICE a year, becomes a waste for the west.
the horse is already out of the barn, but at the very least, the fix should be, "yet to appear in the majors," and get rid of random order.

That would be an assumption that all players taken in the prospect draft will be in the majors this season. It is highly likely there will be players taken who will not be carded for a year or two, maybe more. I am sure there will be plenty very good players in the next FA draft.
