Finders Keepers Keeper League Chat

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.

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

With MLB's rankings for 2013 and our new rule about no MLB experience to be considered a prospect, there would be some changes to the above list.

Our new top 10 would be (according to MLB)

1-O.Taveras-OF
2-J.Fernandez-SP
3-C.Yelich-OF
4-B.Buxton-OF
5-N.Castellanos-OF
6-M.Zunino-CA
7-J.Singleton-1B
8-N.Syndergaard-SP
9-C.Correa-SS
10-J.Bradley-OF

Help console me after the Niners loss by taking my mind off the game with some hot stove action

my available list as follows:

Jamie Carroll
Danny Valencia
Ryan Sweeney
Casey Kelly
Paul Maholm
Bill Bray
Nate Schierhlotz

all available for a low round pick and/or Propsect pick


Chris Davis

all available for a mid round pick ( 4th -6th round???)

and JJ Hardy who will be a bit higher in price

If anyone wants to start listing their drops, please feel free. Drops won't be official (so you are welcome to make changes if you list) until approximately a week after the online salaries are released. I'll make an official date when salaries are released. Listing your drops will effectively be your check-in for the new season. If there are any owners who would like to drop out, please let me know.

Draft Order: Draft order with trades are under the "Recent Drafts" tab of the Google Doc Roster (link on the first page of this thread).

ANNUAL FREE AGENT DRAFT
1) A non-serpentine free agent draft of at least 10, and up to 15 rounds, will be held each year shortly after TSN/SOM cards are released.
2) Only those players who were issued SOM cards for the current season and appear on TSN’s website are eligible for the draft. (Unleashed Set will be used-updated 07/01/13)
3) Draft order is determined by cumulative win/loss records of the two seasons of the previous year's card set. Reverse order, worst-record first, NFL style.
4) Prior to the draft, all owners must drop enough players to bring their rosters to a maximum of 30 players allowing for 10 draft picks; Owners can drop below 30 players, but must not have less than 25 prior to the draft.
5) Player drops must be announced prior to the beginning of the Annual draft.
6) All owners must have a full 40 man roster upon completion of the Annual draft.
7) There is no clock for Round 1 of each Annual Free Agent draft. All subsequent rounds will operate with a 3 hour clock between 10 AM and 10 PM Eastern Time. There will be no clock on the weekends

PROSPECT DRAFT
1) After the Initial draft, and after each year's Annual Free Agent draft, there will be a three round Prospect Draft.
2) Each team will be able to select 3 prospects, which is any player who has never appeared in a MLB game but is under contract to a MLB team. To specify, after a player is drafted by a MLB franchise, they would still need to be signed to a contract to be eligible.
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 and is serpentine. All subsequent prospect drafts are non-serpentine, and draft order is based on the previous season's regular season records.
"4) Prospects can be promoted to the major league roster prior to the annual free agent draft, all rules regarding roster size and drops remain in effect. Owners may also promote a prospect any time, provided there is roster space available due to an unbalanced trade.
5) There is no clock for Round 1 of each Prospect draft. All subsequent rounds will operate with a 3 hour clock between 10 AM and 10 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. There will be no clock on the weekend.
6) Individual owners are responsible for their own prospect research.

PROSPECT RULES
1) The maximum number of prospects allowed for each team is 10.
2) Prospects are not counted as part of the 40 man roster while they maintain their prospect status.
3) Prospects can be traded, but the 2 year timeline remains constant for each prospect. Prospects moving from one team to another must be promoted or released when the original 2 year cycle has been reached.
4) Prospects can be promoted to the major league roster prior to the annual free agent draft, all rules regarding roster size and drops remain in effect. Owners may also promote a prospect any time, provided there is roster space available due to an unbalanced trade. Once promoted all prospects lose their prospect status, and cannot be demoted back to prospect status.

STADIUM RULES
3) Team can change stadiums, but they can only be changed a maximum of once in three years. The stadium change must be made when there is no season in progress. Changes can be made first come, first served, by posting a notice on the message board. Players may trade stadiums with other players at any time except while a season is in progress.

I created a thread "FKKL Drops/Promos", and made my drops. (subject to change ofcourse)

With K.Law's rankings out as well now I took our previous top 10 and have put the MLB rankings and KL rankings in brackets beside the players name. The one that stands out is Syndergaard.
