Major League Keeper League (MLKL)

FYI guys,
I have my drops picked but I do not want to submit them until I see the free agent list. I assume the free agent list to be sparse but would like to look at it before I make my final decisions. Also, this team that I am taking over only has one player with a SS designation (Rollins). I know the SOM system will put someone in at SS if Rollins is injured but is there a league rule or expectation that every position will have at least on eligible back up on the 40 man?

It doesn't specify in the rules but we use (and most of these keeper leagues do the same) the SOM rules to govern your active team roster. Your team just has to comply with the roster guidelines set forth by the SOM game engine (at least two Catchers, 1 reliever with a closer rating, etc..). The only difference being that you can only have 25 active players until September *game 132).

So you don't NEED more than 1 SS, HAL will put in the best backup for you!

True that, however HAL will give you a backup shortstop at a fielding rating of something like 5e65

Not sure my sarcasm came across the way I intended there!

I have submitted my drops. Ready for the sup draft.

Ok. All drops are in. I need to record some trades from the past two weeks.

Does everyone have access to stat draft?

REMEMEMBER: Any player with MLB experience prior to the 2016 season is eligible. NOT ALL PLAYERS ARE LISTED ON STRATDRAFT. IF YOU WANT TO DRAFT A PLAYER NOT LISTED, EMAIL ME.

I'll have the draft ready to start this afternoon. Won't start a clock until tomorrow. It's a 24 hour clock on round 1. You have 1 day from the time of the previous pick to make yours. But let's not drag this out.

You should all get email notifications when each pick is made. You can set this up on STRATDRAFT.

SUPPLEMENTAL FREE AGENT DRAFTS
1) A Supplemental Free Agent draft of up to three rounds will be held between seasons 1 and 2 of each calender year.
2) All owners must announce their roster drops (up to three) prior to the Supplemental draft.
3) Owners may draft no more than three players. Owners are not required to draft any players during the Supplemental draft.
4) Supplemental Free Agent drafts are non-sepentine. All draft orders will now be determined using the combined records of the two previous seasons played in order from fewest wins to most wins. Tie breakers will be determined based on run differential with the team with the worst run differential winning the tie breaker.
5) The First Round will operate on a 24-hour clock. All owners must check in on the message boards before drafting may commence. All subsequent rounds will operate with a three-hour clock.
6) The Supplemental Free Agent draft is only three rounds. Owners with fewer than 40 players on their active rosters may use the Supplemental Free Agent Draft to get back to a 40 man roster, provided this can be achieved within three rounds. There will never be more than 36 picks made in the Supplemental draft.
7) Any player who has Major League baseball experience in any year prior to the current MLB season and who is not currently on a roster is eligible for the Supplemental draft.
8) Owners can have more than three supplemental picks in a draft, but they lose the rights to all remaining picks after they have made their three selections. Any remaining supplemental picks are voided unless they are traded prior to their original owner making his third supplemental draft selection regardless of round.

STRATDRAFT is live. Nythawk to start us off.

Thanks Peter!

Question on the supp draft. How is the 3 hour clock in rd 2 and 3 handled during the night. If someones pick comes up at 1:00 am are they given until the next morning to make a pick?
