FREE AGENT DRAFT - Rules and Regulations

Draft order is based on salary totals of preliminary rosters as submitted -- lowest team salary drafts first. Your number of picks is based on the player pool you were given at the start [at least for season 1; we may revise this depending on how the league works out].

The players eligible for the draft were those born on December 2, December 6, December 7, December 17, December 24, December 27, and December 28. A full listing of players who had a sim-eligible season is presented in the next two posts, with links to each player's bio on www.baseball-reference.com

PLEASE CHECK THE LINKS CAREFULLY before making your draft decisions, as there are sometimes several players with the same name, and only one of them [the one born in December] is eligible for this draft! For example, the Ed Morris here is not the one you'd normally use in a league.

Timed picks in the draft will begin on Monday, January 1, to make sure that nobody misses their first-round selection; but rmarksduke can start us off anytime, and I hope that we will be drafting ahead of schedule for a while. To speed things along, please sitemail the next two owners who are up after you, once you've posted your draft pick.

The number of picks you have in the draft is limited by the "draft pool" number I calculated and sent with your team.
3 picks - draft pools above $300m - cstrohmier, Ribbentrop, redcped, toysboys, bigsteve12, thejuice6, BeAllEndAll, fatguyrd, jfranco77
5 picks - draft pools between $200m and $300m - tdoak, contrarian23, laramiebob, ledfoot, eman7400, schwarze, dougsdawgs13, trumbull
7 picks - draft pools less than $200m - marksduke, strubrosll, bottomlee, tensaver716, whalers10, midknight, SteveIzzy

ALRIGHT - the free agent draft is live. rmarksduke can start us off anytime; strubrosll is on deck.

I will do my best to update the draft page regularly, catching up with the picks above and taking selected players off the board. However, please read through all of the recent picks be sure you're not picking someone who has already been taken.

Who will go #1?
12/30/2023 7:44 AM
I'll take Kevin Appier
(thanks for the Heads up on Ed Morris)
