My preference would be Option 1, because we’d let the auction decide who the top prospects are that warrant multi-team bidding interest. Then all the remaining prospects will be eligible for the prospect draft and we won’t get any Top 30 “leftovers” hanging out there at season start.

I prefer Option 1 but will do whichever. My guess is that not all 30 of the excluded prospects will go at the auction and you'll have a few that will then be free agents. I assume these would then be eligible to be put up for bid.

Option 2 is my vote

Option 2 is my preference

Please respond on the message board which you prefer:
Option 1: Normal Otto Auction followed by the Prospect Draft (restriction: no MLB experience allowed on MiLB roster) - if this is the decision we will have to have 40 man draft early
Option 2: Prospect Draft (restrictions: no MLB experience, Fangraphs Top 30 excluded) followed by normal otto auction - if this is the decision prospect draft will start after league has 12 managers
This is a majority rules decision. Thanks for participating!

Well the great news it that it seems like we'll have an active league :)
Our original plan was to have the prospect draft before the normal 40 man otto auction so the 40 man roster would be less bogged down by prospects who dont have present value for the team. However, Drew and I want to take everyone's opinion into account so we can do a vote. Prompt to come in next message board posting. Rationale for excluding top 30 is what Geoff said. Fangraphs would be source for Top 30.
-
I think makes sense to exclude top 30 prospects because they will probably garner significant bidding in the auction.
-
I'm sure you have good reason, but why would we exclude the top 30 prospects? And what rankings would you use to make that determination?

I had assumed we do our 40 man roster auction first and all MiLB players would be eligible in the auction. Then we would hold the MiLB draft for any qualifying minor league players not on a roster through the auction.
-
That is correct. There will be an MLB draft for all MLB players (as well as the top 30 prospects or so) after the prospect draft. That will be held as a standard auction draft, similar to other Ottoneu leagues.
-
Question : I assume that we will hold a second draft with MLB players to get to our 40 man roster ? If not, well I don't understand the concept

Hey all. We recently had two owners drop out because they didn't realize this was a FGPts + MiLB roster league. In light of this, please review the summary belowoutlining the MiLB portion of the league. If you do not wish to participate because of this, please shoot us a note so we can take appropriate action. For those that are okay with it, please try to recruit others you think may be strong, active owners and would like this format. Thanks!

MiLB rosters: The roster will be 10 MiLB players max and can only be comprised of players with 0 MLB experience. Each player will be carried at $0 but can be "called up" to your main roster and will have a salary of $1. The player needs to be called up or dropped if he gets MLB experience. The prospect draft will be a snake draft where the original MiLB rosters are set up. We are going to be excluding the top 30 prospects or so from the prospect pool as well as anyone with MLB experien

Hey all! I'm Drew and I am the other co-owner of Team JD Drew (and also co-commissioner). This is my third season of Otto, and I live in (and am from) Chicago. Looking forward to starting a prospect-based league, and can't wait to get going!

Hey everyone, my name's Geoff I live in Chicago but I'm from Oregon. Second Ottoneu league but first team i'm getting to draft from the start. Looking forward to an exciting format with some new folks!
-
Hey, guys. We're Vinny & Joey, brothers who are co-managing a team. We've competed against each other in redraft leagues for years, but wanted the challenge/experience of a dynasty league so we figured we would try it out together. This is the 1st dynasty team for both of us, but we're looking forward to an active experience

Hey guys. I’m Nathan and I live in Seattle. I’m a long-time 5x5 roto player. This is my second year on Ottoneu and my first year in a points league. I look forward to learning the Fangraph Points format, and I’m also excited about the 10MiLB rosters. I want to thank Jeff and Drew for setting up and running the league. I appreciate the thought and energy you’re investing to make the 10MiLB format work. And again, I'm looking forward to playing with what looks to be an active set of manage

Hi everyone, my name is Serge and I'm from the South shore of Montréal...Québec (yes a canadian in your league or maybe more). This will be my 3rd season in Ottoneu, participating in many leagues. Not sure what the MiLB portion is but opened to whatever puts excitement in our league.

Hello Everyone and welcome to Bat Flips Encouraged! My name is Jeff and I am the co-owner of Team JD Drew. I'm really excited to get this league up and running. I think that it would make most sense for people to do intros so everyone knows who we're playing with, then we can finalize some rules for our league as this isn't a standard ottoneu league, and get our prospect draft started. This is my third season of Otto. I live in Minneapolis, MN and I'm from Chicago (go Cubs).
