    The draft clock runs between 8am and 10pm ET. The utility will autopick for you if you go over your time. Managers who go over their time limit will be placed on Autopick until they return. Please make use of the preference list to avoid going over the time limit.

    Let me know if you have any questions on how to use the utility.

    Preference List Usage

    - To add players to your Preference List click the check box next to their name and click the 'Add to List' button. You can then move players up and down the list or remove them using the provided buttons.

    Team War Room

    The Team War Room is available only to logged in users who are currently in control of a team as defined in the league file. From here, teams can review the available players, see what picks they’ve made and when their next ones are due, manage their draft list, configure their auto draft settings, and manually draft players if it is their turn to pick.

    To add players to the draft list, click the check box next to their name, then click the Add To List button. You can add multiple players at once, and they are added in the order they appear on the page, not the order clicked. Use the up/down/remove buttons next to the draft list to manage the players once they’re on the list. The view button will take you to the HTML page of the highlighted player in the draft list.

    There are three options under user preferences that GM’s should address:

    Auto Draft From List: Checking this option tells the draft code to go ahead and pick the top player off your draft list should the draft come around to your pick. If you leave this box unchecked the draft will not auto select from your draft list even if it is your turn to pick.

    Auto Draft…: Checking this check box tells the draft code to make an auto selection of your pick. If you have this box and the auto draft from list box checked, the draft code will first check your draft list for the first available player, and then auto your pick only if there are no available players left on your draft list. If this box is checked, but the auto draft from list box is not checked, your draft list will be ignored when the draft auto picks for your team.

    …After Round: If you have the auto draft option checked, and entered a draft round number in this field, then the draft will wait until that round has completed before auto picking for your team. For example, a team may wish to make manual picks in their first three draft rounds, but auto pick the remaining 7 rounds of a 10 round draft. In that case, you would click the auto draft check box, and enter 3 in the draft round field. The utility will then auto select for you in rounds 4 and higher. If this field is left blank and the auto draft box is checked, then all rounds will be auto drafted. If this field contains a number, but the auto draft box is not checked, then no auto picks will be made even after the round specified. The save button will save both the draft list and the user preferences. You MUST click this button to save changes to your draft list.

    If it is your team’s turn to pick in the draft, the “Add To List” button will be replaced by a button used to make a draft pick. In this case, check the box next to the player you wish to draft and click the button.

    Remember to click 'Save' after you make any changes to your draft preferences or player preference list.

    Millers have 6 picks in the top 51 (5,20,29,36,50,51) in what everyone seems to think is a deep draft. Gonna be taking a few chances on some of these internationals.

      With 1.1 the Batavia Muckdogs select...

      P Diego Martinez from Panama

      Scout loves him, OSA loves him, a leader, good work ethic, decent intelligence.

      Internationals scare me and we got a few nibbles with trading out but decided if he pans out it's worth it. Maybe the OOTP gods will reward Bustavia.

        Well, very rarely do we see ratings hits in the first round. Usually it's potential hits. And even if he takes one, his ratings say he can pitch right now.

        Good luck.

          And if he doesn't pan out as a pitcher, you could always make him a 2B.

                      My scout has this overall POT higher then "Barbed wire" from last years draft.

                      It will be years until you see this kid, but great pick.

                        I had Diego Martinez and Doug Johnson as my 1A and 1B.

                        Martinez always has the fallback of becoming a middle infielder. I have seen pitchers who project well as hitters and vice versa, but I don't think it has ever been as a Starting Pitcher/Middle Infield combo. Plus, he not only pitched lights out this year he hit very well too. His intangibles are near perfect. My scout loves him. OSA loves him. He is almost BLB ready as a pitcher or hitter. So glad he was drafted to the IL.

                        Johnson however, actually might be the better of the two as a pitcher. My scout says 6-6-8...that same scout currently has no BLB SPs with a "8" on control. His High School stats are completely unreal. 224 IP, 9 BB. That's Pancho-like. And there is no international "risk." Lots of history. Never been injured. Two 15 strikeout games.

                        Now is where the mystery starts. Picks #3-#6 my scout has about the same value for prospects.

                              Bandits have a list of 24 players set to go. Based on the track record of my scout that should get us to round 5!
