What's going on with the draft? I've been keeping an eye on it all day and we're still only at the fourth pick. I'm slated to draft later but am now leaving for a bit but absolutely don't want to miss my pick.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

I think our deadline is tomorrow BP do you should be okay.

Wow the drop off from the top 5-10 players to everyone else is mind numbing. It goes from superstars to AAAA guys.

[KnuckleBalls]

Wow. I feel bad for anyone that has a pick after the 10th selection of round 1.

1-2-3 Jinx.

Three rounds for this prospect draft is going to be hard. All the talent is going to run out if not before the 2nd round starts, then not too long after. I recommend cutting it to two. I'm already about to just let this get auto'd and I have the 14th overall pick. There's going to be nothing left when I pick again in the second round.

[PitchingWinsGames]

There'll be stuff, you'll just be picking players with niche skills

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

"Niche skills"? What is that? And how would I know how to find that?

Niche... uhhh, what?

Like... Im talking about a guy that has insane defensive ratings to be a backup IFer, or a guy that has a super high eye, or power rating... something that might get grown into or something.

Something where maybe the guy's not going to be a starting player, but he has a specific talent that can be useful to the ML team, akin to Brett Carroll's defense

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Whatever. Since I already got auto'd some guy I don't want, I guess it really doesn't matter.

Is the amateur draft not a snake draft?

Is the amateur draft not a snake draft?

No, it's like the real amateur draft.

The inaugural draft was made a snake draft in order to try to even out talent throughout the league.

Since the amateur draft is about helping shitty teams get better, it's left as a strait draft so that the shitty teams can get the best prospects, rather than the prospects be evenly distributed through teams.

(check your PMs )

[FishFanInPA]

Yeah, well 2nd round picks kinda suck.

[PitchingWinsGames]

We're gonna extend the draft till Friday unless Swift can miraculously finish his exam or something. Feel free to make your pick if it comes up, but basically, I can't run it tonight because I'm 100% exhausted and have other responsibilities.

Thanks for the understanding

1) some teams have had their draft picks go into the free agent pool like in tbbc

2) please reduce the draft from 100 rounds next year lol, make it more like 20-30. Now everyone has rookie teams with over 100 players
--------------------
told pwg not to update so that hopefully there will be a easy fix for it
--------------------
I believe these are the teams that had their draft picks go to the FA pool instead of their rosters:

edmonton
new york
MIL
anchorage
atlanta
honolulu
portland
san antonio
san degio
sin city

if PWG doesn't update, he can re-do the draft (and re-do until it actually works), so I'd assume this is hiatus territory. Or what PWG can do is just export what he has right now, and Swift can then work off that, or something
--------------------
assuming no back up obviously

[Branch]

OK, I realize this is kinda my bad, but I sent a list to PWG because I thought he was running round 3... And I'm kinda annoyed. Any chance of getting my pick changed? The guy I wanted was not drafted in the third round.. or at all.
