Geoff's golden era II NOW DRAFTING IN THE ILC FORUM

We could go ahead and fill in the Pirates first pick

yep, obviously Dave Parker.

still 2 to go. Mr Baseball World who had the Reds 98 wins last year...and Geoff who led the Blue Jays to 99 wins and a runner-up finish. then it's on to the FA draft

Should we have the draft on the ILC?

Franchises Remaining: Indians, Mariners, Padres

We will be moving the draft over to the ILC for the 5-round FA Draft, so check there to see if/when you are up.

The 5-Round FA draft will be in reverse order of the franchise selection and is NOT a snake draft.

Remember:

1. You may select any player from the 2 unpicked franchises and from then on he counts as a CORE guy for your franchise. This is important as you must maintain 15 core guys from your franchise throughout the season. These 5 FA picks can be traded AFTER the draft is done (the picks cannot be traded, but the players you pick can be after the draft is complete). If you choose to trade one of these 5, however, they do NOT count as a core guy for the team you trade them too (unless they are also carded to that team). In other words, if SD doesn't get chosen and you draft Gwynn, he is now a member of your core franchise and counts as one of your 15. If you trade him to me, he still is a core guy for your franchise, not mine, and I don't get to count him as one of my 15.

2. You may select a player that is multi-carded to your team and another. For example the Pirates may choose Barry Bonds, thus locking him up and insuring that the Giants can not get him. This is how many of these 5-round picks will go. This is a chance to lock up key players for your franchise so that you aren't fighting for them in the Autodraft later.

3. You may select a player that is only carded to your team. This is a rarer move, but sometimes practical as there may be no players that you'd want from the undrafted teams and/or none left that you need to lock up. In this case, your draft is essentially done and you're just filling the spot.

Happy Drafting to all, and please ask if you have any questions and Falcon and I will try to answer/resolve any concerns.

San Diego Padres!

sweet. all done with the franchises. Geoff, can you please change the name of this thread to Golden Era league 2, now drafting FA in ILC
