• Yes Freeland is available

  SEVEN on March 11, 2025 10:38 AM

• Alex Freeland is available right? If so Plan nine takes Alex Freeland SS LAD.

  Plan Nine on March 11, 2025 10:32 AM

  ⚾️Corked🍷 on March 11, 2025 10:20 AM

• Seven picks Chad Patrick MIL AAA SP
  Corked is on the clock.
  Mets make your pick whenever you ca.

  SEVEN on March 11, 2025 10:19 AM

• 12 HOURS has expired for DaMets.
  
  Seven is on the clock

  SEVEN on March 11, 2025 10:17 AM

• I believe da Mets are still on the clock

  ⚾️Corked🍷 on March 11, 2025 8:40 AM

• I wasn't aware you already had five players. I assumed since you were making a big deal of it that you had a pick.
  
  NO PICK FOR YOU!
  COME BACK ONE YEAR!

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 5:50 PM

• I'm sorry. I really don't mean to be a jerk. I just want to understand, so that I fully comprehend what rules I (we) am playing by. Are you saying I am going to get a pick? I was under the impression my MiLB roster is full at five. If this was debated at length and agreed upon, I am sure there are good reasons for it. Perhaps I just need to dig through the message archives and I can find the discussion and final agreement?

  Gashouse Gang on March 10, 2025 5:45 PM

• Alex Freeland
  Is eligible to be drafted in the milb draft. I will drop him from whatever team wins the auction without penalty.

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 5:42 PM

• So there is a penalty for bringing up your guys and clearing space for the draft--they cost roster and money. There is a penalty for cutting guys before the MiLB draft (to open up draftable slots)--you don't have those guys anymore.

  Dominican Über on March 10, 2025 5:27 PM

• That is why there are no picks until everyone has filled empty spots below 4. The lone exception (I believe) is if someone ends up (via trade) with more than 4 MiLB guys, then you can start the season with as many as you've acquired, but still no draft slots.

  Dominican Über on March 10, 2025 5:26 PM

• Yeah I;m pretty sure the think was the starting point for the season would be 4 MiLB players. If you chose to pay the short-term penalty and bring your guys up before the draft, then you lose those roster spots and pay the $1, but get to add more guys. If you like your guys more than the FA MiLB guys, and/or don't want to spend the roster or or cap space, then great but you don't get to add to your preseason MiLB staring number (4)...

  Dominican Über on March 10, 2025 5:25 PM

• If you want you can tell me who to pick when it's my turn and I'll tell you who to pick when it's your turn and then after the draft we could trade them.

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 5:24 PM

• It was important in years that had a talented group of players. But even then the better minor leaguers iget picked up in the first part of the draft.
  If it makes that much difference to you, you could switch with me I pick right after daMets

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 5:22 PM

• I can definitely see your point. But this was thoroughly debated at the time and this is what we came up with.

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 5:19 PM

• I can definitely see your point. But this was thoroughly debated at the time and this is what we came up with.

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 5:19 PM

• I would presume they "only have three" because "prospects" graduated to their MLB roster (management success) and/or were deemed failed picks and arbitrarily released from the minor league roster (management failure). I fail to understand how "catching up" is "fair" by either measure and I find it difficult to fathom that such a backward policy was agreed upon by the majority at the time of its implementation. I have never heard of such a policy in any kin

  Gashouse Gang on March 10, 2025 4:47 PM

• Well if you have four players already and some people only have three don't you think it's fair that they catch up

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 2:58 PM

• I realize I am new here, but this all seems awful confusing. Is this minor league draft/roster concept written out anywhere that can be perused for comprehensive understanding? And am I correct in interpreting that if I one minor league spot open, I would have to wait until the 5th round of the draft to fill it? That sure doesn't seem fair, and I would be curious to learn the rationale behind that concept. Thank you in advance for educating me.

  Gashouse Gang on March 10, 2025 2:49 PM

• ROUND 3:
  
  da Mets

  Swinging 4 the Fences on March 10, 2025 2:39 PM

• Corked selects Felnin Celesten

  ⚾️Corked🍷 on March 10, 2025 1:30 PM

• Thomas White, SP, Marlins

  Tigers 2095 on March 10, 2025 1:27 PM

• Cade Horton

  Kanobis on March 10, 2025 12:21 PM

• Ok thanks I wasn’t sure, I know we discussed in the past. But this makes sense, and I’m fine with going this route.

  Plan Nine on March 10, 2025 11:49 AM

• I agree, I do believe we said they can have had a salary, but as long as they still have never had any bit of major league service time then they are eligible.

  Swinging 4 the Fences on March 10, 2025 11:47 AM

• Technically it's a gray area. You're not supposed to but we never held to that rule.
  As long as you don't have a salary now I have no objection to it. Unless somebody else feels strongly against it.

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 11:44 AM

• Sorry, meant rostered and salaried in the previous season.

  Plan Nine on March 10, 2025 11:17 AM

• NO You cannot draft a player who has a salary

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 11:14 AM

• We'll take Kevin McGonigle, MI, DET

  Dominican Über on March 10, 2025 11:05 AM

• Just want to confirm, we can draft players into the MILB draft that have been rostered and salaried already? Thanks.

  Plan Nine on March 10, 2025 10:55 AM

• Colson Montgomery

  Kanobis on March 10, 2025 7:45 AM

• Come on guys pay attention.
  Freeland is Milb only.

  SEVEN on March 10, 2025 7:30 AM

• Correct, its Kanobis to finish Round 1.
  
  Then Round 2:
  UBER
  KANOBIS
  TIGERS
  CORKED

  Swinging 4 the Fences on March 9, 2025 11:00 PM

• I’ll go Hagen Smith, white Sox, pitcher.
  
  Pretty sure it’s Uber after Kanobis as we do this part as a snake draft

  Tigers 2095 on March 9, 2025 10:56 PM

• TIGERS ON THE CLOCK
  THEN KANOBIS
  THEN CORKED AGAIN

  SEVEN on March 9, 2025 10:39 PM

• Good reminder since people have started some auctions. Only players with major league service time can be auctioned until the MiLB draft is over. If a player does not have any major league experience at all (1 PA/.1 IP) then please do not start an auction for them until the MiLB draft is complete.

  Swinging 4 the Fences on March 9, 2025 8:12 PM

• Are there any restrictions on who can be auctioned during the minor league draft?

  Gashouse Gang on March 9, 2025 8:05 PM

• Corked selects Konnor Griffin

  ⚾️Corked🍷 on March 9, 2025 6:48 PM

• Correct, this goes snake style drafting from top to bottom.

  ⚾️Corked🍷 on March 9, 2025 6:21 PM
