Can we start the draft today? I'm ready.

Polar Bear drops Ethan Small, Jackson Rutledge, and Jordan Groshans from MILB roster

Luke, thanks for handling all of that. The freeze during the draft makes the most sense. Leather Daddies, I think the order he set is good. You all have really been complaining off the hook about MiLB rules. Let it be.
-
Luke, based on your message from 10:29 AM Aug 2, why not enforce the freeze and set the draft order EOD August 7th? This would ensure no MiLB roster changes during the duration of the draft while also being a better reflection of league standings.

No MiLB draft order is going to stay the same.

Does this mean the draft order will change based on tomorrows end of day standings?
-
I'm perfectly happy if y'all want to continue to trade MiLB players right now, just know that I won't be moving them around mid-draft like I did last year. The draft order will be locked as of tomorrow night and any subsequent trades that happen involving minor leaguers between then and the end of the MiLB draft will be processed after the draft, meaning the acquiring team will have one extra player and the sending team will have an open spot until the next draft.
-
To be clear, it's not a permanent freeze, just until the draft is over and it's also not a freeze on regular rosters, just MiLB ones.
Also, don't forget to give me your MiLB drops
-
Maybe we can discuss postseason. We certainly don’t want to add stress to your plate, Luke. It’s not ideal to freeze trades as every game and point matters as well. If this were cemented before the season started, it could serve almost as a “soft trade deadline.” That way teams could prepare for deals prior to the known 8/1 freeze. Just spitballing. (Forgive me if I sound like Karen 😳 )
-
Understood! Thank you!
-
I don’t really have a problem with not freezing it, but the problem we encountered last year was movement of prospects during the draft and that caused (me, personally) headaches in whether to allow more spots for people who had just traded away or eligibility of prospects who were dropped mid draft as a result of adding another player. As long as we’re not trading prospects mid draft it doesn’t particularly bother me to keep it open up until then
-
I wasn’t considering the MiLB freeze when I just traded one of my MiLB guys away to Blue Monk. Selfishly I agree w Brad Daddie that freezing MiLB rosters at a time when transactions often peak might cause headaches. Can we still have a time period to drop guys without freezing the rosters? If this trade w Monk gets hung up because of the freeze, I get it. Just wanted to voice that opinion. Sorry for the confusion, happy DeGrom Day Cads
-
Yes, Happy deGrom Day to all!
-
Happy deadline day all! A thought on our MiLB roster freeze: it seems shortsighted to freeze rosters during the MLB trade deadline. Players will be moved and those roster holes will, in some cases, be filled with promoted prospects. A freeze will make it more challenging to assess the two week window we use as well.
While I understand the idea of keeping things static, I don’t think the timing of this is ideal. I’m just one half of one team (Brad Daddie) but it’s just a thought. Thank you

Alright. Officially no trading prospects for a week. Everyone please get me your prospects drops by Thursday. As a reminder, all players a) signed with an MiLB team, b) not owned by another player, c) with 0 major league experience are eligible for the draft. That includes players dropped this week.
-
Okay everyone. According to an AP article I just read, the signing deadline for drafted players is August 1st. So I say we start our mid-season MiLB draft on 8/8. We can freeze MiLB rosters on 8/1 in order to allow for cuts. Please have all your cuts to me by the end of the day on 8/4. I can announce all the dropped players (who will still be available for picking) on Fri 8/5, then everyone will have a full weekend to prep.
Draft order will be reverse standings as of roster freeze o

Hey sorry it took me so long to respond cannonball. Yes, there will be an opportunity for cuts. I’ll call for a MiLB roster freeze about a week before the draft and you’ll be able to cut as many prospects as you won’t. They won’t be available for auction until after we draft
-
forgive me for forgetting, but will there be an opportunity for us to cut guys before the MiLB draft in August?

Pushing the MiLB draft til post-signing deadline is still good with me!
-
Speaking of prospects, the MLB draft is coming up soon. Given the rash of players that didn’t sign last year, we mentioned moving the MiLB draft until after the signing date? (Please tell me if that’s wrong).
That would put our draft date sometime in mid-late August, which would make it more like a draft every 6 months. Let me know if everyone is still on board with that.
Also, it’s super helpful when y’all notice stuff on the MiLB rosters. If you see something, say s

Kennedy is now available for auction. Apologies for the dereliction of duty

The Kennedy assassinat…. Oof. Too soon.

Hey sorry- we messaged that we’re cutting him to the commish. Sad day

The two-time defending champion Leather Daddies promote Gabriel Moreno to the major league roster

All eyes on the Tri-City ValleyCats tonight. Cannonball Run has scouts en route to upstate NY for the long anticipated debut of The Rocker. Front office execs around the Beehive wonder why we’re rostering a guy who’s not even part of an organization. We call them non-believers.
-
Busy morning in the league. The Daddies promote Matt Liberatore to the active roster.
-
It was nice having Josh Smith on my team for 2 seconds. He was very excited to join Josh's Team (pun totally intended) but was told he was getting shipped out before he even had a chance to put on the jersey for the photo op. It really messed with his head but I referred him to Isiah Kiner Falefa, who recently had to deal with a similar situation. Hopefully this won't affect his game mentally.

Josh Smith has been dealt with...nothing sinister to see here

Okay. Good to know. When setting the restricted players list, it's hard to know because they don't list the position or level that you're trying to select. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do until the auction ends, but I'll remove them from whatever roster and place them on the restricted list when that happens
