*Supplemental Draft.
Beginning with season two preseason, there will be a 3 round draft from players available from the FA Pool. I will add a few international players each preseason to the FA pool.

*Prospects
Starting next preseason, to add a little fun to the league, I will let each owner create a prospect. I will explain how this is going to work later.

SP who don't have at least 75 inning pitched will be moved to middle RP. Keep this is mind when drafting your teams and will have a need to RP.
