Last year we had a maximum of 6 FA signings (unless one of your guys loses MiLB eligibility, then you can pick up another,) but we had some special rules about how to do it. You can never have more than 20 MiLB players on your team at any time. Other than that, we'll wait until the MiLB draft to clarify the rest. |

Wallace huh? Great pick. I bet I know who you are taking with #3... Yeah I traded it away. I wasn't gonna take Buster Posey though, if that's what you were thinking. Obviously I'm excited about him, and I think he'll be an outstanding MLB catcher, but I'm not sure he'll ever be an elite fantasy catcher, and Brian McCann isn't going anywhere. If I had still had the 3 I'd probably take Beckham or Smoak. Lee is crazy for thinking there's no value here, there's 5 top 25 and 10 top 50 prospects in my opinion. |

I'd love to acquire one of the next 10 picks for a MLB pick next year, an early pick.

Does anyone have an updated draft order? I know there has been a lot of picks traded.

There is definitely value, but it's a bit muddled. Prospects are such a crap shoot in most instances. Once you get past the top 10 picks or so I feel like I have as good a chance getting a player in the 4th and 5th round as I do in the 2nd and 3rd. |

There's 10 guys who are top 50 prospects (or close) on every top prospect list. |

I agree that this draft is a crapshoot after the first round. Hell even the real draft is a crapshoot and this is more risky because a purely defensive player could at least have limited use in the pro's but is worthless here. It should be interesting to see where the guys drafted this year rank 2 years from now, and how many guys shoot up the rankings that weren't even considered now.

I couldn't have picked a better top four, frankly. These guys are great talents. And I already know who's going #5.
I pray my guy's going to drop to me.

I have no idea who I am taking with my next pick. I would love a few guys to slip but I don't see that happening with the 28th overall pick.

Oh I have a different target. Plan A fell through when I made a trade. But you never know -- if he's the BAO, I might have to grab him.

I was wondering where Tim Beckham was going to go. Great talent, but years away from contributing.

Big gamble with Tim Beckham...hope this league stays functional for as long as I can wait for these prospects to pan out.

I think with as active as this league is we should be able to keep it together. I'm sure people will have to be replaced every once in a while but there are some die-hards here that will last a long time.

A number of us play in 2382375982565 other leagues together, so if we're not already sick of one another...
I don't think this one disbands for a long time if ever.

What are you willing to offer? I have a finite plan in place but I might be swayed with something tantalyzing.

I have my 3rd 4th and 5th round picks, that I would be willing to add MILB, or mlb players. Not sure where peoples value rest right now n these picks, so I guess Ill take some offers for a first round pick.

Well you're the one who wants to get into the first round, so you should probably be the one to initiate. It's the people who already have the picks who have to be persuaded.

If you guys would prefer a lowball offer to start it off Im willing to do that. Or if anyone is interested in inproving their MLB team and is not as worried about their milb team they can let me know.
If someone is interested in trading out of the 1st and receiving a MLB player, and or Milb pick/player, let me know what needs you have and ill try to prapare a offer. I cant make an offer w/o knowing who wants what.
