Ghost, Fred, I get it now. For next springs draft, teams could have 10-15 picks, so you don't want someone trading a 14th rounder then not have it to give.

Thanks, Al

Yes!

I think I screwed up with Yandy Diaz. Is he going to be unleashed this coming year? Very good H and OB vs RHP's. But not a ton of power and his defense lags. Are those deficits enough to keep him in the regular card set?

Fred,
He could be with 109 ABs. On the SOM preliminary Field Ratings, he is an add-on. With the new SOM Field Ratings Guide just released, he could be in the Regular Card Set. I haven't got it in the mail yet. Don't like to download that as I make all my annotations on the players I have in my various Keeper Leagues.

Thanks Tim. there's a glimmer of hope.

EDIT: And he has 61 total double-plays on his card. Has any unleashed player ever had that many dp's on his card?

you never know about the unleashed...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking we go straight through and finish the 40 rounds before the cards come out. I was worried about people not having enough players per position but on second thought it seems like that sort of thing usually gets worked out in the end. Maybe I'm worrying too much about nothing. Anyhow, I would like to finish our full 40-man draft now instead of stopping after 35 rounds - as I indicated before. If that's alright with you guys.

We can start the Stadium draft now. The order is the reverse of the FA draft we're currently conducting. There is no clock for the Stadium draft. I know it says we draft a stadium in round 41 so if you don't want to pick a stadium until we're done with the FA draft, that's fine. Just wait to make your Stadium selection then.

The Stadium #'s for the 2018 player set...

In general, I'm OK with proceeding through round 40, but since there was a plan to stop after round 35, could we take a brief 24-48 hour break after round 35?

It's not explicitly stated in the rules, but the only purpose I see for a stadium draft is so there are 12 unique stadiums used, no duplicates, correct?

That's right. No duplicates. I like your idea of a short break after round 35 is complete.

later rounds get a bit quirky...

390. Doug_Tucker Christian Villanueva, 3B, SD (Nippon Giants, 2019)

If Doug could use the stats from the Nippon Giants he'd most likely have an awesome card year after next...

I'm ok keeping going on the draft. I'm a bit worried about having two catchers that gets carded, so it changes how I might approach the later rounds of the draft.

I'd prefer to just keep the stadium and prospect drafts for the end of the draft as was indicated in the rules, but I'm open to changing the rules.
