| FINER POINTS OF THE INITIAL DRAFT | |||||||||||||||
| Because a Trial Draft already occurred, everyone should be aware of the basics, and so, in this section, I will leave you all with just the main points to note.
First and foremost, unlike the Trial Draft held, this draft will be done over two days. Day 1 will be strictly the Face of Franchise draft which is the Auction draft and Day 2 will be the Snake Style draft. Once the Face of Franchise draft has culminated an email will be sent to everyone with an updated list of players still available, and a list of every team�s rosters and those players bought in the Auction, and the draft order for each round in the snake draft. This way everyone can better prepare for the snake draft and really take into account how the league has just shaped itself. I believe this will also work better relative to everyone�s schedules. Now a six or seven hour block will not have to be cut off from everyone�s day but 2 three hour blocks instead. In addition to the change that the draft will be over two days and not one, another change is that there will be no individual Triple A draft where the remaining players are drafted. Instead, the Snake Style draft itself will be 34 rounds and players which will fill the 5 man Triple A roster plus an additional 5 roster spots allotted since there is no telling who will make a team and who won't before spring training will be drafted at any time within those 34 rounds (or Auctioned during the Face of Franchise draft, but this is altogether dumb since you would be elevating a prospects price from free to a dollar amount and players chosen in the Face of Franchise draft can not be dropped or designated to Triple A). Again, let it be stated that although the regular season roster will consist of 30 players - 25 of which will be the Yahoo Team (MLB) and 5 of which will be the roster on this site (Triple A), there will be an additional 5 roster spots given to each team since the draft will occur before spring training has begun. However, teams are required to cut their rosters down to 30 players (25 MLB and 5 Triple A) before the start of the regular season otherwise a teams 5 cheapest players will be removed without the manager's permission. |
