1 - Find full draft results by going to the draft page on website or finding all players on the player sheet. Players have the following designations next to their name on the Position player tab or Pitchers tab: - Current team under 2026 team column - Under the Keeper/Rnd column see round they were drafted or "x" if the player is a Keeper. Remember that players drafted in rounds 17-20 are Keepers as well as players selected in supplemental draft completed Monday the 2nd.

(Note: Teams cannot have more than 40 players on their roster during pre-season (36 for regular season and playoffs).  Picking up and dropping players can occur on an unlimited basis throughout the season, just cannot exceed the roster max of 40 or 36 at anytime.

2-Pre-season games: I will play the first 6 games of the preseason on Saturday March 7th, after 6 pm Mountain, then 5 on Wednesday the 1th after 6 pm Mountain. I'll follow this pattern until all 33 games are played for pre-season. So, please have lineups, starting rotation, strategies, etc ready for first games (setup just like in the past). The Pre-season schedule is loaded to the website. See team and stadium details by clicking on your logo. Ballpark features can be changed until end of pre-season, then that feature will be locked.

1 - Manage Farm system: Move players up and down between majors and minors. For Pre-season you can have up to 41 players in majors. Once regular season starts, max in majors is 26, max for total roster is 36.
2 - Edit strategy: Edit management strategy levels - not required, but an option
3 - Edit lineup and rotation: set up initially and alter as needed throughout be found at the link. the pre-season and season. The game is set to require 5 man starting pitching rotations. If #1 starter is rested, he will pitch before #5. This explanation tells best:Starting Rotation
List your starters in order of priority. The first available healthy pitcher based on this priority will start your next game.
Please note, if a starter gets knocked out of a game early, he could return to the mound faster than normal. The CPU will always put your highest ranked starter back on the mound as soon as possible.
 - Also included in this section is "Player strategy". Not required, but can update.
4 - Pick slump busters - add eligible players if desired.

Once two lineups (vs R and vs L) are set, you don't have to change again. Same with pitching rotation (All starters usually require 4 days a rest, so 5-man rotation is recommended. The game will always choose the next rested player, based on your rotation. Note: If pitcher #1 is rested, and pitcher #4 was last to pitch, it will skip pitcher #5. Reliever order not required. Also, players (maximum of about 5, can be picked up throughout the season). Just cannot be over the roster limits at any time. Ask me if you want to drop anyone or pick anyone up. Currently no trade deadline and major league rosters will be able to expand to 30 players, towards end of the season. Will be announced later.
