How will the draft work? Let’s say I put down Pedro and so does the Mets owner. If they get him, HAL is Going to assign a random SP of similar price. Then what? Can we trade that player to the appropriate team? Or Do we just change them in the waivers?
Are we going to have a partial draft before auto draft?
So in that Pedro scenario, one of you is the lucky winner - all up to HAL like in any auto-draft. Like you said, the person who doesn't get Pedro will most likely end up with a player they can't keep. They can trade that player to a proper franchise if there is a trade that can be worked out, otherwise they have to be dropped. In some cases you can't fully clean up your roster until waivers - if you only have 5 SP you can't drop one until you pick up another via waivers.
There's no pre-draft (as far as I know) - once we fill we go right to the auto-draft.
