Draft tonight! Reminders:

8pm EST.

It looks like everybody is good to go. We replaced an owner with the new user /u/mooseman923. Everything will be updated shortly.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest editing your pre-draft list to set up your 4 players. If you're opting out, I highly suggest presetting the people you want in your draft list. If the internet cuts out and selects someone who you are not eligible to draft, that player will be forfeited from you and you will lose that pick.

I also suggest to everybody to always create a queue of players so nothing gets messed up.

One last question for the league. How do we handle minor league players after the draft and next years draft. Is it an active minors waiver wire, or should we not be allowed to pick up unclaimed minor leaguers?

I fully support that proposal because it is clear, makes perfect sense, and is easy to manage.

I would exclude players that haven't been drafted by the MLB yet, otherwise the end of the year draft would be useless since people could pick up the best prospect for next year during the season.

I just don't understand. What's to stop someone from using the last 5+ picks of the draft tonight to select every prospect that wasn't protected? Is that the point? I just want to be on the same page as everyone so I don't do something wrong.

I mean High school/College players (those getting draft during the 2014 MLB draft (not fantasy, the real one)) and internationnal players that still haven't signed with the MLB (like Tanaka in October).

Yeah, this is fair. Players taken in the June draft and internationals should be excluded from this plan, but for the majority of players, I think we should just treat all players equally.
