Ok guys I have finalized everyone's roster with your keepers and your NA players. Check your rosters to make sure you have all of the players you should have. If there are any discrepancies or if you would like to make some changes let me know in the next couple of days.

You can now set your starting lineups, make trade offers and prepare for the draft.

The draft will start at 10:00AM on Saturday, March 9th.

Please use the Chat feature. It is in the upper right corner of the smartphone app. On the website it is in the center of the page this year. I would like to have everyone to stay active in the Chat so that we know you are aware of what is going on.

I still haven't heard from GAllen5862 or Herbdizzles.

DRAFT RULES:

1. The draft will be a straight draft consisting of 6 rounds. All rounds have the same draft order.

2. The draft order will be the reverse of the prior year's standings, adjusted for any traded picks. Draft order is posted in the Commish Notes section of the Yahoo league homepage.

3. To make your pick just post your draftee's name on the league Chat like this: "Round.pick Player Name" (1.1 Johan Santana or 5.12 Jay Bruce). Then you can add the player to your team by selecting him from the Free Agent list.

4. You may not exceed the roster size limit. If you are at the limit when it is your turn to draft you must drop a player before you can draft a player. The dropped player will become draftable immediately -- the next team owner in the draft may select the dropped player without waiting for him to clear waivers.

5. You have 8 hours to make your pick. If you have not placed your pick within 8 hours, the next player can go ahead and post his pick. You do not lose your skipped pick. You can still make your pick as soon as you return to the website.

6. Multiple picks can be skipped. For example, 8 hours have elapsed since pick 4.3 was posted so pick 4.4 is skipped and pick 4.5 is on the clock. If 8 hours later pick 4.5 has not been posted then he is skipped and pick 4.6 is on the clock.

7. If an owner has consecutive draft picks he only gets one 8-hour timer before both of his picks can be skipped.

8. After you make your pick send an email to the next team owner to let him know it is his turn. This will speed up the draft. To send the email click on "Email League" at the top of any league page. Then click on the next owner and send him a message.

9. If you ask someone else to post your pick or your draftee is on waivers the commissioner will add your player to your team page as soon as possible. Before you pick, make sure the player has not already been drafted.

10. Players who are drafted in the MLB June amateur draft are not eligible to be picked up in the League during the season and will be available in the next year's draft. The same goes for international free agents who sign with a major league team after our draft starts. This is true even if the player gets promoted to the major leagues that season.

11. If you post your pick as a "Pass" you do not lose the pick. You may use that pick later at any time.

12. If your draft turn arises when you already have an unused Skipped or Passed pick from a previous round your turn will automatically be Passed to keep the draft moving. Any Skipped or Passed picks can be used at any time.

13. You can trade draft picks. The only pick you can't trade is the one that is "on the clock". We learned from experience that can cause long delays with owners dragging their feet on their pick in the hope of receiving a trade offer.

14. Players added to the Yahoo player pool after the draft begins are not eligible to be drafted and will be placed on waivers after the draft is over.

15. When all draft rounds are completed, the commissioner will set a date and time when all undrafted players will be eligible to be added on a first come, first served basis -- it is not a free-for-all as soon as the last draft pick is made.


If you would like to receive a text message when it is your turn to draft, send me a PM with your cell phone number.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
We can trade draft picks for the upcoming 2024 draft, but we can't use the Yahoo trading system for doing so. If you would like to include an exchange of 2024 draft picks in a trade please do so using the Comments area of the trade proposal and notify me when the trade is complete so I can change the 2024 draft order. Any traded draft pick using the checkmark system in the trade proposal application will be considered a trade of 2025 draft picks.
