whoa, $25 bid on Torkelson.
-
it's my understanding that players on our MiLB rosters would only be promoted once they received an PA or for pitchers, pitched a PA. that means as long as these players don't get playing time this season, they won't be added to their corresponding owners roster. so while they are not receiving playing time in the minors, from the major league level, these rosters should operate the same.
-
60 man rosters: Any idea how these would affect some of the "minor league" guys that were drafted in the 5 round draft earlier? They probably won't even get an AB or pitch an inning, but they will most likely be on the "Taxi Squads." Do we need to drop someone if so? Thanks.
-
well I certainly was very pessimistic about a season happening, and while there's still a good amount of time before the season begins, it looks like this league will run. If for any reason you think you won't have the time to manage your team for the shortened season, please let me know. If you have any other questions or concerns about how the league will function, just message me or post your questions here.
-
Looks like we got some baseball (for the time being)! Make sure you set those rosters soon :) Yay!
-
Well I just screwed up big time by adding Sale and then immediately cutting all those guys. That hurts bad.
-
MLB season delayed at least 2 weeks.
-
If any one needs more offense, I currently have a lot of bats and am looking to acquire one more reliever!
-
I don't believe I have anyone like that!
-
Fun fact I just realized: I have drafted brandon belt in each of our league's three drafts. I wonder if there are any other players which have also been drafted by the same team in each of three drafts.
-
Thanks for the free cut with Vazquez! Had no idea he was in a different PEN lol
-
I hear Kyle Freeland is available.

Great auction everyone! Now who wants to trade me an Ace pitcher?
-
Okay, thanks
-
Yes
-
IL question: Is the spot still limited to 60 day IL?
-
Great draft everyone! Now to start trading!
-
Hope everyone's draft prep has been going well and I can't wait for the season to start!
-
Looking forward to the draft tomorrow everyone. Just remember to be in the draft room on time for the draft to begin promptly at 7 pm Eastern Time. Also, while it may be advantageous to fail to nominate a player on your turn, this only slows the draft down so it will remain a soft rule that you must nominate a player during each round. It's a long draft so I know things happen but if it happens more than once that's a problem and we might remove you from the draft.
-
Real tempting, thanks for the offer. I probably can't invest anymore time into taking on a third team.
-
Hey, anyone here looking to join more more league this year? I really have the urge to have a first year draft this year so I'm trying to find owners to join a new league. FGPTs, $20 with a *slow auction* via Couchmanagers so we won't need to block off a big chunk of time to draft. Will consider non-standard Otto rules ($0 MiLB, arb coupons, salary floor, etc etc) after I fill the league. Please let me know if you are interested (or if you know anyone who may be). Thanks guys!
-
Alright, to finish our inaugural MiLB draft I'll take Alexander Canario, OF, SFG.
-
If we can stick with the first that would be much preferred. Btw I'll have my final pick in by the end of the day, it's just been a busy last few days.
-
It is okay we can just stick with the 1st!
-
I’m sorry, I mean I could do the 8th...maybe.
-
Unfortunately working as a butcher/chef (I run the pantry for a large commissary operation) I typically work on weekends. I had to move staff around to ensure I could take the time at off and rearranging might be hard. I may be able to do the first, but the 29th is out for me.
-
Or maybe the following Sunday, March 8.
-
Hey! I just had a work thing come up on the 1st. Would it be possible to maybe move it back a day to the 29th?
-
Yes! I’m in 7 leagues and this one is definitely the most active/engaged/fun one out of the bunch
-
Amazing league!
-
Gonna finish this draft up with Jordyn Adams, OF, LAA
Great draft everyone!
-
Orelvis Martinez, SS (TOR) will close it out for me. Thunder Gun is up.

Andrez Gimenez, SS, NYM. Mookie is up!
-
Sorry! Lázaro Armenteros, OF, A's.
-
Clocks up on with Balco? I feel like since we are on the last round and have plenty of time I should at least give them until tomorrow?
-
Kevin Alcántara OF NYY. Balco up now!
-
Jackson Kowar, P, KC; TLBM is up. This was fun.
-
Let’s go with someone likely to debut sooner rather than later for the fifth pick: Daz Cameron, OF, Detroit.
Dawgs are up!

No worries (I would have taken Carroll with my next pick in that round had Thunder Gun not taken him lol). Ben's Banter is up!
-
My bad! I thought I saw him available. I'll go with the other guy I was thinking of: Kris Bubic, SP, KC
-
Oh wow I didn't known that either because I thought Carroll was going to be my next pick as well!
-
Carroll was Thunder Gun’s pick in round 3
-
Corbin Carroll, OF, ARI.
-
Thanks again for making this all run so smoothly everyone. I've certainly enjoyed this draft as a way to fill time before really digging into draft preparations. One small update: You'll notice a shiny new sheet on the MiLB draft spreadsheet which now lists each teams MiLB rosters. Once transactions start happening with these players, I'll add a tab to record that information is well.
-
Bryson Stott, SS PHI
-
Alek Manoah, SP, TOR
-
Tyler Freeman, SS, CLE for the Round 5- Pick 1 selection
-
ha! I totally forgot that was him (and was also surprised he made it all the way around to me)
-
Taking that "slapdick prospect" huh?
-
I'll take Xavier Edwards, 2B/SS from with Tampa Bay. Back to Giancarlo's Hit Men for the last round!
