-
I'll select Ronny Mauricio SS NYM...BALCO up next
-
This is my first draft of this kind and it's awesome. Thank you for being such a great league!
-
That made my decision easier - Edward Cabrera P MIA. TLBM next.
-
The Benjamin Banters select Jordan Balazovic, SP, Minnesota. The Dawgs are next to be let out (but by whom?)

I’m gonna go with Yusniel Diaz, OF, Baltimore Orioles. Ben’s Banter is on the clock.
-
SR&K takes Cristian Javier SP/RP Houston (and that likely does it for me, probably won’t pick in rds 3-5)
-
George Kirby, SP from SEA
-
I would have picked him before it got back to you.
-
Definitely would have been my next pick if he made it all the way around. BellyBall is up!
-
With the first pick of Round 2, Giancarlo's Hit Men Select Jordan Groshans, SS from Toronto Blue Jays
-
Also in the player list on this page you can search by position and MiLB and free agent only and then sort by p/g and stuff like that.
-
Yeah check out some top prospects lists and then just do some searching for finding which ones are still available. Also hurray for round two!
-
I cannot think of anything much better than find some prospect lists, and manually figure out which ones are not owned and already picked. The lower down those lists the less likely the service time constraint will be an issue. That's exactly what my last hour or so was.
-
Without giving away any secrets, is there an easier way to search for guys that are available, don’t have service time and also good?
-
To finish round 1, I'll take Oneil Cruz, SS (PIT). Giancarlo's Hit Men is back up.
-
Round 1, Pick 11: Josh Jung, 3B, TEX
-
Great, Thunder Gun is on the clock.
-
I would like to select Alek Thomas, OF (ARZ) with my first pick.

I'm going to pass rather than hold everyone up. I was unaware this was going on today.

Agreed, no need to skip a pick right now and I know Mookie is quite busy so it’s understandable.
-
I'll be ready to draft as soon as Mookie gets his pick in (I don't plan on skipping his pick since this draft got started up pretty quickly)
-
Great work Commish. Thanks for the spreadsheet!
-
I believe that's somewhere between the 8th to 10th time I've acquired Honeywell on a fantasy team in the last 3 years...
-
The order is the same for each round, not snaked, as the league decided in a survey a bit back.
-
Are we snaking for the draft or straight order?
-

-
Two things folks: You'll notice those players drafted thus far have been added to our league's restricted list. This is to ensure they cannot be drafted our auctioned. It's probably best we all check in and make sure all the required players are added by the end of the draft.
Second, I've made a spreadsheet keeping draft of the draft's progress. After the draft I'll also make a spreadsheet which lists each team's MiLB rosters. You can find the spreadsheet via the link in the next message
-
Brent Lee Honeywell Jr. SP TBR, Mookie is up!
-
Shane Baz, SP, TBR. Flying Squirrels are up!
-
Issac Paredas SS/3B DET. Balco is up
-
Daulton Varsho, C, ARZ. TLBM is up.
-
With the fifth overall pick, Ben’s Banter selects Jasrado Chisholm, Shortstop, MIA

Screw it, Hunter Greene, CIN
-
Taylor Trammell, OF, SDP (three quick picks!)
-
I’ll go with Riley Greene, OF
-
Thanks. I select Joey Bart as the First pick
-
Thanks for running this, Commissioner Bats. I’d love to see the spreadsheet when it’s up and running. Looking forward to doing something constructive during the February doldrums.

I think it's alright to be a bit lenient on the time limit at the beginning. If it starts to get close to March 1 and we still have some picks to get through we can speed things up. Really this goes for anyone: if you think you won't be able to get a pick in exactly within 24 hours, but can get one in close to that time frame, that's fine, just let me know so I don't just skip your pick. I think generally picks will roll in pretty quickly as we get going.
-
I’m also super excited! I’m gonna try my best to adhere to the time limit, but my father-in-law has been in hospice for about a month and is really close to the end. There’s no “best available” button is there? Haha.
-
Woo!! I'm very excited for this. Already have my first couple of picks lined up, although they will probably all be gone before my turn.
-
With all of this being said, I think we can put Giancarlo's Hit Men on the clock! You have 24 hours to announce a selection on the message board.
-
I will be keeping track of the picks in a spreadsheet, which I can share with all of you. The draft order is the reverse of last season's standings and so is as follows: Hit Men, BellyBall, Kimonos, Boba Chette, Banter, Dawgs, TLBM, BALCO, Squirrels, Mookie, Thunder Gun, Bats. For any further details on the rosters, we are loosely following the guidelines outlined here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/5milb-rules-for-ottoneu-champions-league/1016

Alright so starting today we will being the MiLB roster draft. Being our first year we each can draft up to 5 players. As a reminder, they can (obviously) not be currently rostered by any team in the league and must have no past Major League PA or IP. Owners will announce their picks here on the message board and I am tentatively requiring that owners make their pick within 24 hours of the last pick or their pick in that round will be skipped.
-
I'll work the details of this out over the weekend, but the answer is very soon.
-
Any thoughts when the MiLB draft will start? Thanks.
-
Just a reminder to get in your last cuts/trades before the deadline at midnight EST! There will be no roster moves between then and the draft.
-
Last two cuts for me are going to be Ozuna ($29) and Abreu ($27). I understand the price is a few dollars higher than projection systems/avg salary but there will be some inflation and bid wars at the draft. Looking for very little in return.
-
Last chance before the deadline to make an offer for Machado!
-
Wasn't sure. Thx fellas.
