Bronx Bombers (not eligible due to special rules for Bombers/Yankees)
8 Teams picking in the Rule 13 Draft, in order of picking (remember no playoff team can lose more than 2 players in the Draft). There is a 24 hour time limit on Rule 13 picks, which does not mean that a team loses their chance to pick, it just means the next team in line is also free to make their pick.
1. Kansas City Royals - Rawly Eastwick (Reds)
2. Houson Astros - on the clock (deadline is Friday at 11:57am Central time)
3. San Francisco Giants -
4. Baltimore Orioles -
5. Chicago White Sox -
6. Philadelphia Phillies -
7. Minnesota Twins -
8. Montreal Expos -
3. Rule 13 Draft (team with worst regular season Win % chooses first, then 2nd worst team, etc.) Begins following the naming of the protected players.
4. Player Additions/Relocations (players who are moving to new franchises due to AB/IP totals will move, and new players will be added to their respective teams)
5. Special Draft (Yankees and Bombers draft new RL Yankee-only rookies - worst Win% gets first pick in each round)(this draft only happens if a real-life MLB season has just finished - so not this season)
6. Historic Imports may be dropped / signed from the unused Historic Imports list (only 5 players on that list)
7. Rosters to 28. ALL TEAMS must trim their rosters to 28 players. **DEADLINE - tba**
8. Slow Draft - 2 Round Draft for all 28 Teams in order of worst to first (regular-season winning pct.). Worst team picks 1st in both rounds - 6 hr time limit for each pick in Round 1 (3 hrs in Round 2). Pre-rank some players!!)
If you haven't got any players pre-ranked when your time-limit is up, you'll lose your turn. Make sure you only pre-rank players who actually played for your team in real life (except for the Yankees and Bombers who can pick anyone)
DRAFT START DATE - tba (6 hr limit for 1st round picks/3 hr limit for 2nd round picks will be interrupted by night-time hours - overnight grace period will be 10pm to 8am Central time - so whoever is on the clock through the overnight period will have their full amount of time in 'waking' hours - RANK SOME "ELIGIBLE" PLAYERS or you may miss out!
9. Free Agency Opens - All teams may drop and sign players (no-drop rule and franchise rule still in effect)
10. Ability to change a players' season will be turned off
11. Opening Day - tba at 9am Central time (make sure you have your lineups and rotation set) |
