Simple poll this time guys. I've gotten 5 PMs from managers asking me to speed up the draft somehow, and there have been rumblings in the chat as well; so here we are.
We'd still have no draft clock until Jan. 6th to accommodate those who are busy and/or traveling around the holidays by not putting pressure on them, which was the whole reason I delayed the draft in the first place - not to let people sit OTC for days trying to deal their pick.

I am good either way. I don't mind giving owners a few hours once they are OTC to finalize a trade if they posted prior that they wanted to move the pick but technically with no clock even if they aren't trading the pick nothing says they have to make their selection.
Well I'm ok with what's been set out. But if I have a choice, I want the clock to start as I'm ready to draft and I hate to wait.
That's my vote! Hurry up! But I'm ok if we don't but you asked lol
Trust me i know lol I'm trying to compromise here. I've been getting a lot of pushback to just flat-out start the draft now with the 12-hour clock and all.
yeah I know we all get draft fever as its one of the most exciting aspects of the league. I would have no issue with the clock starting if trades were taken out of the equation
Im sure thats not going to happen so lets stick with what was originally posted before the league started and try to keep our expectations as such
Find another outlet for the pent up draft angst LOL

We have a majority at 11 votes. Trading of OTC picks will no longer be allowed in the draft.

Red Sox (Kris): We still have a MAX 20 prospects, correct?
Feb 26, 2024 9:15:10 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Yes. 20 prospects is the MiLB max, you either need to drop a prospect or call someone up if you are over that limit.
Feb 26, 2024 11:56:08 GMT -5
Red Sox (Kris): I don’t, but I know that some do. So, to be clear, we can draft over the 20 limit as long as we cut down before the season starts?
Feb 29, 2024 23:45:26 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you should be dropping a player anytime a draft pick or trade takes you over the limit of 20. I must've missed it but Yankees needs to release one of his MiLB players, they are the only team over the limit right now

Rockies (Jose): Is Yuki Matsui rostered?
Mar 12, 2024 16:15:04 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you can't bid on Yuki in free agency until he pitches an inning in the MLB. You could have drafted him in the MiLB draft, but players that haven't made their debut can't be nominated in Free Agency.

Mariners (Rook): I do believe Ronel Blanco free agent final bid of $3/3 by LAD is invalid and the player should be returned to free agency. That was LAD last transaction and it put his cap -0.25. We can’t go negative cap. What say you?

Ryan (Cubs): @mariners, correct. LAD's bid on Blanco put him $.25 over the cap so the bid is invalidated. I've messaged LAD and dropped Blanco from his roster
