Major League Baseball 46 - MLB Live Draft-

1. Please enter league with your member name as your team name. After the league is filled Strat-O-Matic will place each manager into a division and they will also determine the draft selection order. The franchises are numbered 1-12 and you can view the list of teams in the league directory.

2. After franchises are determined you must select your team name and your manager name from your list of teams, no combinations or abbreviation of names are allowed. You will have only one opportunity to make changes on your own, a second attempt will have to be executed by customer service.

3. Please select your team's home park from the list of different stadiums available for your clubs. Your team and your home park doesn't have to be the same, as long as one of your teams played their home games in your selected stadium.

4. A player that is exclusive to one club and is valued at 8.00 or more must be selected during the 28 round draft if you want to include them on your roster. If you fail to draft the cards must stay in free agency until game 81 has played. Example: If you fail to draft one team only Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees in the 28 rounds of the draft then he is ineligible for the first 81 games of the season.

5. Please draft your roster with 28 player cards that have played in one or more games during their major league career with one of the teams from your selected franchise or with a Negro League Star.

Baseball Reference is a very detailed website, I think you will find it helpful with your research.

6. The Negro League cards are available beginning with the thirteenth draft pick (first pick of the second round) the exception being if they have played a regular season game with one of the major league teams from your list. If they meet these qualifications you must select the Negro League Star during the first round, if you do not the card becomes eligible for all clubs during second round and you lose the exclusive rights.

7. After the draft if you have a player that is eligible for your club and is also eligible for another franchise in the league and the same is true for the player your acquiring then a trade is allowed.

8. Players injured during a series must serve the the entirety of the injury or if you choose you may release player into free agency. If your player is eligible for other teams they must acquire card showing the current injury, after injury is completed then all seasons are available.

When the league fills HAL assigns us to divisions, and that assignment also gives us our franchises. See the recent MLB 45 thread to see the franchises and divisions. Hopefully this helps. They’ve been fun leagues using the autodraft feature, but this is our first try using the live draft mechanism. It’ll be an interesting change in how the teams get put together.

I think I, The Yankees, am #7. Or, am I #11?

#7: Cincinnati Red Stockings 1882-1889, Cincinnati Redlegs 1954-1959, Cincinnati Reds 1890-1953, 1960-2019, Cincinnati Outlaw Reds 1884-1884, Cincinnati Kelly's Killers 1891-1891, Chicago White Sox 1901-2019, Florida Marlins 1993-2011, Miami Marlins 2012-2019

I am unsure how to interpret the teams compared to what I see in the ATG8 xls. Four Cin, Four CWS, and one Fla. No extra Cincinnati franchises that I can tell and no Miami. Am I misunderstanding something? I did look at MLB 45. But, maybe I missed it.

I believe you are drafting 7th but are team 11. I think which team you are is dependent on where you are listed in the standings.

Yep, as I look closer. #11. Brooklyn, LA, Angels. Picking 7th.

Maybe something happened to the Live Draft. When I first looked at it 20 minutes ago, I could see the players picked first and second and the chat. Now, I am not seeing anything.

Ditto ... nothing there

Can’t even search for players

I thought it might just be me. I haven't used the Live Draft before.
