i don't think that hanley will get a two this year but.... his ops should make up for it.

He'll be an outfielder next year before he's a 2 at ss...just a strong prediction by AF.

i am prepared for that. but thanks for your concern...

Either way he's a "Stud" on the "O" side nice pick.

Can I ask the first stupid question of the year :oops: :oops:
if one of the rules is we can draft anyone with MLB experience... what if the experience is this year. We cannot actually draft that person until next year :?: :?:

Please fell free to laugh at me at my expense.

Thanks

Doc

Doc - KD can clarify but I believe the rule is meant to be anyone who has played in an MLB to date, meaning those who made their 1st appearance this year are eligible.

And don't worry, it's not stupid at all, I meant to ask KD to post on the same thing....thanks for the reminder! :D

Doc,

i think you can draft anyone that has played in MLB even if his only experience is this year.

Initial Draft:
1) The initial draft is a 41 round live draft. Rounds 1 through 40 are for players; Round 41 is for the stadium.
2) [b:a07424fa8f]Only those players who were issued SOM cards this year and appear on the live draft website are eligible for the initial draft.[/b:a07424fa8f]
3) The initial draft is serpentine; all subsequent Free Agent drafts are non-serpentine based upon the previous season's regular season records. Draft
picks are tradeable.

I intended that we would draft only those players that have SOM cards initially. We would play a season and have a prospect player draft.

Then next spring we will have our annual F/A draft. In the spring draft you can draft the guys like Norris Hopper, Kelly Johnson, Reggie Willits and Dice-K who don't have cards this year but played in MLB.

Hope this clears up the confusion. [b:a07424fa8f]Only those players on the SOM draft website are eligible for this initial draft.

KD, just a question on draft order. When you first posted the draft site, I was 4th, then I checked and I was 6th, now I'm 8th. Don't want to accuse anyone, but this is the first time I've ever dropped down in order without missing a choice! :)
