First-Year Player Draft
We will hold a draft each year during the season. This draft will be begin that years entry draft has passed. The draft will last 7 rounds and all players drafted in the most currently-finished draft are eligible. NOTE: NO CONTRACT TERMS
The Draft will be held in reverse order. The team with the worst record will be awarded the first pick in the draft, and so on.
Draft Times: (Clock will Stop Overnight)
1st-3rd will be 12 Hrs
4th-5th will be 8 Hrs
6th will be 6 Hrs
7th will be 2 Hrs
During 7th Round if you miss your pick you will be skipped and can make your pick later, but if you do not make your pick within 2 days after draft is finished YOU will not receive a PICK
Undrafted Players in Current Draft, may not be Drafted UNTIL Rounds 5th thru 7th.
Following Guidelines must be followed when drafting:
-Must be Draft Eligible for that Yr of Draft!
-HS Players must be (Graduating) Senior in HS to be Eligible.
Note: If you Log-in when your On The Clock (OTC) and do not pick before getting off, you will be subject to Auto-Pick (AP). Only exemption to this will be 7th Rd.
Competitive Balance Picks
We will now, much the same as MLB does, have a competitive balance round for exceptionally weak teams. It will follow the 3rd round of each draft.
5 Teams at a max, per year, get these picks. The specific guidelines are still being ironed out completely, but the basic idea will be, a combo of looking at the Teams Record over the past 2-3 seasons, looking at how many top100/ top20 team prospects the organization has. As well, as the LMs using a bit of discretion.
Now while a late 3rd/early 4th round pick might not seem like the jackpot. If the team adds that in with their other efforts, it's better then no help at all. And over the course of a couple drafts might be able to land a solid foundation for their system using it.
Effective this 2015 offseason:
Free agents will be classified as "Type A" or "Type B" after the season according to the player rater. The following is a breakdown of Type A and Type B free agents:
Type A:
Ranked 1-15 SP in the previous season
Ranked 1-30 Batter in the previous season
Type B:
Ranked 16-45 SP in the previous season
Ranked 31-75 Batter in the previous season
Ranked 1-15 RP in the previous season
If the player is not resigned by his former team and is a Type A or Type B free agent, appropriate compensation is awarded to the player's former team.
- Teams that lose Type A free agents are compensated with a pick following the first round of the following year's amateur draft.
- Teams that lose Type B free agents are compensated with a pick following the second round of the following year's amateur draft.
Note: The draft order of the compensation rounds is ordered according to their ranking in the Player Rater.
These compensation picks may be traded at any time after the player is signed.
In order to earn compensation, the team must own the player BEFORE the regular season trading deadline.
Rule V Draft
Every offseason there will be a 2 round Rule-5 draft, for any unowned prospects. The draft order will be the reverse of the season's final standings.
"There is no limit to what can be accomplished when nobody cares who gets the credit."
