Re: with regards to prospects..

I ask out of curiosity, having played with such a rule before in a previous league.


Interesting. But i think we'll go a different direction with our first item of business this off-season. We can get to that afterwards.

There was some backlash when I came out with a more traditional style Prospect draft for this league. We currently have three rounds to draft 36 players in a one by one manor. I was curious if anyone was interested in reclaiming the the team first (three players from that team) method of Prospect drafting. If you're for it just say Yes next to your name down below...

To be clear, under this proposal we would each draft a MLB franchise and be restricted to selecting prospects from that organization alone?

Yes, I enjoyed the different style of prospect draft that we did before, it was one of the reasons that I joined the league. However, ok with whatever choices the league makes.

Yes, I enjoyed the novelty of that draft. We're you thinking four picks/2 year clock again?

I had assumed that 2020 was the initial draft for this league. Is this correct, or has it been longer running?

Under a different name before last year. We redrafted last year. Was called the Ice Cream League.

I am abstaining on the free agent vote. Not sure how I feel about it, but I am willing to defer to those of you who have more experience with this format.

Not to throw a wrench in the change, but how would you handle traded prospect picks? I think we might not be able to implement this until another year out.
