MLB Supplemental Draft
Draft Utility - Draftime
Player must be in the Yahoo database at the time he is picked in the
supplemental draft.
No time limit initially, unless deemed necessary
Straight Draft, Reverse order of standings

Prospect Draft & Rules
Straight Draft, Reverse order of standings
To be conducted BEFORE the Supplemental Draft
Under 300 AB's or 125 IP to be draft eligible
You can retain up to 5 prospect eligible players from one season to next
There are 8 rounds in the prospect draft - minus a pick for each prospect you carry over.
Any player at any level (as long as they are under limits) can be drafted as prospect. College, International, Little League etc.

Prospects may be called up in-season and can be sent back and forth to prospect list until the end of the season in which they exceeded the stated prospect limits. As with our new rule, managers can keep prospects for the entire season in which they exceed their stated prospect level limits. So, if your prospect hits the limit in May, you may still hold his rights as a prospect until the beginning of the following season. Prospects may be called up or sent down anytime in-season or off-season prior to keeper declaration. If called up and made an MLB keeper, prospects will lose their prospect status.

Prospect rights may be traded.
Prospect picks may be traded as long as receiving team has enough spots to make the draft pick at time of draft.
You can trade for as many prospects as you like - however you'll need to have 5 or less at the time of the Prospect Draft

There were two ties (1st and 11th), I flipped a coin to see who would get the earlier pick in rounds 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13. The other guy gets the earlier pick in rounds 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15. It applies to both the regular draft and the prospect draft.

Here is the order we will use for Round 1:

01 Bobo

This is the only pick trade I found, it is announced in #96 in the 2018 Regular season thread. It is still awaiting details confirmation, but I believe it is:

WG sends Walker Buehler and his 2019 4th pick in the regular draft
Biliruben sends prospect Eloy Jimenez and his 2019 15th round pick in the regular draft.

For Bili and WG, please confirm these trade details.

For all, please let me know if i missed a pick trade.

As the schedule in <4> says, keepers are due 03 MAR. I will be making a thread for that purpose very soon. I recommend that you post early. You can alter your submission up until the deadline. I dont want anyone missing the deadline.

Here are my notable players, along with their Yahoo Pre-season and current ratings. I have 11 who have one or both ratings in top 100. I think its a bumper crop that cant be matched elsewhere, I have already traded one away for a prospect.

Like you, I can only keep seven. Looking for prospects, pick upgrades, and two for one upgrade trades. Don't make me offers that dilute my keepers.

Hopefully I will have internet access.
I'll make it work somehow.

If I want to keep Amed Rosario who is no longer prospect eligible, what do I need to do.
I did not have him on the roster at the end of the season.

Four days to go and only half have posted keepers.

Remember, you can change it all the way up to the deadline, so try to post something tentative at least.

There is zero flexibility in the deadline. There's no crying in baseball.

Guys,

I musta been deaf to the message. Barilko stated quite clearly he wasn't returning, yet I counted him as returning during roll call. Fortunately he repeated this to Phil during Phil's attempt to do a trade. Phil let me know.

I have contacted Joe (Black Death), to see if he still wants a team. Coincidentally I got an e-mail today from Joe Beeler as well, he's been out of town and is still interested.

Just another sign that I am not infallible, keep an eye open.

Welcome back Joe! Thanks for stepping in on short notice.

I want to let everyone know that I have a replacement manager waiting in the wings as well. If you guys don't mind, I plan on adding him as a co-manager, so he can follow along this year, in hopes of getting the next opening.

Last Minute Trade Block
Gleyber Torres, 2B/SS, NYY
Rafael Devers, 3B, BOS
Josh Donaldson, 3B, ATL
Tim Anderson, SS, CHW
Jonathan Villar, 2B/SS, BAL

I plan on keeping one of those guys. I'd be open to a 2-for-1, if someone will upgrade my last keeper. Otherwise, I'll be looking for best offers on picks.

<35>I believe the league was not a keeper league in 2001, and was reformed as a keeper league in 2003. Bili and Nerve seem to be the only charter members left. Tree missed only the first year of keeper if I remember right. If there was a 2002 league it was not on Yahoo.

You appear to have had a team in the 2001 league. Do you recall anything more?

To be clear, Ohtani is not prospect eligible. He had 326 ABs. You may not draft him as prospect pitcher either.

During the Draft Time draft, you will draft him as either a hitter or as a pitcher. So, two different teams can have rights to him.

If Yahoo merges the two players in the future, only one owner can own him. Who ever has the oldest rights, gets rights to both if Yahoo merges in the future. So, for now its who ever drafts his half first.

Alright guys, looks like we will finish some time tomorrow. IF so, I will try to get Draft Time up and running by tomorrow evening. The draft will start Saturday Morning at 8 AM, no clock initially, but don't abuse it.

Meanwhile, you can check if I loaded Yahoo right with your Keepers and Prospect draft. You can check by looking at draft results. Find an error, let me know. The regular keepers are picks 1-7 and the prospects are the last 8 picks.

Surprisingly we have finished the prospect draft. Even more surprisingly, I have everything loaded in Draft Time now.

A little less than half of the prospects are not in the database at Draft Time, but may be added as the draft progresses. so, you will need to be attentive.

If you are going for a guy who you think may be a prospect, please check to make sure He wasn't already drafted in the regular draft.

I am going to start the draft with no clock now.

Your first order of business should be to verify your keepers. Let me know if you find mistakes ASAP.

Your second order of business should be to load a queue. You should be able to use Yahoo players tab for available players. I will try to keep Yahoo rosters up to date within a round or two, so you can use that throughout the draft to help you see available players.

The next two posts will be a list of prospects I could not enter in Draft Time. One is by owner, one is alphabetical by player.

I have paused the draft because i found a mistake.

I put Daniel Murphy, 2B, COL on Phil's roster in Yahoo. I recall correcting this mistake on Yahoo so he has been showing as available there. Apparently, I carried the mistake forward to Draft Time before correcting it at Yahoo. SO, Murphy was showing as Phil's Keeper at Draft Time.

Anyway, I have stopped the draft to see if anyone wanted to draft Murphy earlier. Let me know ASAP if you wanted to draft him with an earlier pick. Name the specific pick you would have used. Lowest pick offered gets him, its not a bidding process, you submit your best offer. YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY 10 AM EDT.

Now, I know this is going to be a clusterduck, and its going to waste a whole lot of time. The guy is over rated in Yahoo, but he's been at the top there for a long time now, its how I discovered it.

While you are waiting for the draft to resume, Load your queue. When we start up again I am going to a one hour per pick for ONE round. Many of you will need that queue to not get skipped, so no bullshit, load your queue and make it auto pick. I don't want any whining.

This is going to have a serious ripple effect if someone wants Murphy, so be patient and don't go AWOL while I am trying to straighten this out. If you don't want Murphy don't f u c k around, send me an e-mail saying you don't want him.

FYI - been talking with Fred, and there is a current problem with autopick. It's not recording the time of the previous pick (or more accurately, it's recording it as zero). So putting in a delay, it just sees it as "Well you've been waiting from the dawn of time, so yeah time to auto pick" and picks immediately.

So don't expect to have a delay. Don't work. Picks immediately.

Assuming, Bobo does not want to give up Ohtani for Murphy, then Murphy is going to Nerveclinic at 1.14.

This means that Yoan Moncada is now available for a pick between 2.01 and 4.07.

I am going to need to hear from each and every one of you as to whether you want Moncada or not. This new deadline will be 1400 EDT Monday.

With 40 mins left to respond, ArtofMonk is the only one I have not heard from. Assuming he has no interest in Moncada, or doesnt respond, Phil will get Moncada with pick 3.12.

This means Madison Baumgardner is now available. Nerveclinic has already told me he has no interest. So that leaves the following who may choose Baumgardner over their current pick:


3.14 42 Mighty Meatwads Cano, Robinson
4.01 43 Thomas Bobo Giles, Ken

I'm going to be gone for the next 5 days into the depths of our "state of emergency," vacationing among the hordes of rapists and terrorists pouring over our southern border. Needless to say my contact is going to spotty, between the raping and the terrorizing and all. Well, cell towers are likely the largest barrier to the survival to our democracy. And more importantly the steady progress of our draft. I'll try and keep my q filled, but with the likes of meatwads stealing every other top pick I have, I can promise nothing.

God Bless America.

Have fun Bili.

For the rest of you, I have started the season on Yahoo, dropped all your prospects and loaded what I believe to be all of your drafted players to date.

Please take the time to check your rosters to see if they are correct and double check your prospects to make sure they have the K next to their name among available players. Let me know if you find an issue.

Though you can set your lineup (tomorrow), you cannot add/drop players or trade.

Draft is done and loaded in Yahoo. Check your rosters and let me know ASAP if there is any mistake.

Players on weekly waivers of Monday for now, will switch it to 1 day waivers once this initial bunch is done. Your waiver priority is set for reverse of the first round of the draft.

Remember, that the players with a "K" next to their name are prospect keepers. Dont pick them up unless they belong to you. I will put a list on the Yahoo League, there were a couple that were college/high schoolers that weren't in the Yahoo player database.

Thanks for a mostly uneventful draft.

Just a note when you look at you team, make sure you scroll the date to Monday. For today, anyone entered in the team late doesn't show up on your roster until Monday.

Great job on draft everyone.

Congratulations to WG on another title! You chased me down from behind and never let up on the gas.

Also nice job to Phil this season. You definitely injected some life into the league and you'll win one of the years.

Looking forward to next season. Particularly our deep minor league draft!

Superbowl is in the rear view mirror, so it's time to figure out who is returning and who is leaving. Opening Day is 26 MAR this year.

I am interested in finding someone to volunteer to take over commish duties as well, any volunteers?

Please sound off here with your plan for Political Baseball League 2020.

Posts 183-196 adds up to 14.

My internet is out and I am posting this with my smart phone tethered to my PC. Once I am back to normal, I will try to start a new thread with dates, constitution, draft order, prospect eligibility etc. I'll also renew the Draft Time.

Welcome back everyone, this is a new experience, don't have to look for replacements this year.

Thanks bean. I appreciate your dedication and reluctant willingness to keep this ship sailing true. Im currently in the midst of a move, searching for house, a job for me and school for the kiddo, so no bandwidth, even if i was tempted to infest this cruiseship with my coronvirus-like leadership.

Internet and TV flaky since Tuesday. I have both maybe 4 hours a day, unpredictable when.

Back bone issue that may fix itself with network upgrade/scheduled outage on this Tuesday. Have had two house calls already, no joy.

Anyway, gonna try to work on new thread issue today, if I have no internet to do other things on my todo list.

Thanks for your patience.
