Finders Keepers Keeper League Chat

Some positions are a lot deeper than others, OF for example.

Wondering if before the cards come out we should decide the inevitable debate about whether or not to go with the unleashed set of cards.

One other change I'd like to suggest just to make things simpler is to the prospect rule. I would suggest that in order to simplify drafting that a prospect is anyone who has never appeared in a MLB game but is signed by a MLB team.

Keeping the rule that for the FA draft you have to have a card to be available. This ofcourse lead to players that cannot be drafted, for example Gardner if he wasn't already on my roster (assuming ofcourse that he doesn't receive a card)

1. Change prospect rule to any player who has never appeared in a MLB game but in under contract to MLB team.

2. To change to the unleashed set of cards for the FA draft.

I would hope these changes would end any debate as to who is or isn't available. Again this will mean that some players will not be able to be drafted in either draft, however this should only strengthen the following years FA draft. If you have a player currently on your roster that in uncarded he is still able to maintain a spot on your roster and is available for trade.

I think it is important to decide one way or the other before cards are released so that does not influence people's decisions.

Please vote yes or no to both. 8 yes votes needed to change rule.

...a few similar OF's lots to mention, tough picking a top 3.

I just did this for fun, so please don't take it too seriously if you disagree or If I missed someone, just trying to create some discussion.

Had some time on my hands. Thought I'd give a very early look at the top prospects available in the FKKL as of right now. This is based off scoutingbook.com rankings just FYI. MLB Top 100 prospect rankings in brackets.

TOP 25

1-M.Olt-3b (16)
2-C.Yelich-1b (17)
3-O.Taveras-OF (12)
4-J.Fernandez-P (22)
5-N.Castellanos-3b (10)
6-C.Correa-SS (34)
7-J.Odorizzi-P (30)
8-J.Singleton-OF (25)
9-N.Syndergaard-P (83)
10-M.Zunio-CA (nr)
11-J.Soler-OF (69)
12-Z.Cox-3b (nr)
13-C.Wong-2b (49)
14-J.Marisnick-OF (35)
15-A.J.Cole-P (90)
16-B.Buxton-OF (28)
17-M.Barnes-P (37)
18-C.Archer-P (81)
19-K.Gausman-P (nr)
20-W.Peralta-P (96)
21-J.Nicolino-P (86)
22.G.Springer-OF (48)
23-T.Cingrani-P (57)
24-T.May-P (nr)
25-M.Williams-OF (40)


Out of the players listed above this is how they'd rank with the MLB rankings (top 10)

1. Castellanos
2. Taveras
3. Olt
4. Yelich
5. Fernandez
6. Singleton
7. Buxton
8. Odorizzi
9. Correa
10. Marisnick

Just thought I'd move this forward, thought it may keep the trades going.
