2016 BLB Amateur Draft Beginning Tues 4/12

[Delandis]

If they are willing, maybe we can have Andrew and/or Pat pick for him.

No dogs in the fight (yet) and veteran owners that will pick well even without the benefit of a scout.

[Matt]

Can someone send a PM, email, letter, morse code, telegram or smoke signal to nelmsm?

He has no internet.

The draft goes in game next Monday. The draft will start Tuesday AM (tomorrow) after the SIM. No minor league signings after Tuesday's SIM.

No minor league signings after Tuesday's SIM.

Is that from the glitch from awhile back of players not entering the draft and instead declaring free agency?

Does anyone know if this new version fixed this??

No it's from undrafted minor leaguers being entered into the draft but also being eligible to be signed by teams.

To avoid me drafting someone in the 5th round that you sign to a minor league deal, Matt and Brad are not allowing us to sign free agents to minor league contracts.

This is the last SIM to get these minor league contract offers out, isn't it??

But it is only 'yet to be signed' minor leaguers from last year's draft, right?

Is that the only guys that get entered? Just 2015 draftees?

Now that I'm thinking about it I am going to pull the draft class now and see if I can edit those guys out of it.

I could be wrong, but I believe that's what I read on the boards. When I get home, I'll see if I can find the thread on OOTP.

[Matt]

Valverde is in the class...he was undrafted in the '14 and '15 class as well.

I'm going through one by one and deleting guys who were undrafted from the generated class. See if this works.

[Matt]

Alright I just went through and deleted 93 players from the draft export file. I sorted by those that didn't have any HS/College stats this year then went through each players history to see if they were in a previous draft. If they were I edited them out of the draft. Some were just injured or weren't good enough to play and they were left in. If you see anyone still listed let me know and I'll edit them out.

The class has been loaded. The draft has been turned on.

[Carlos]

Do you see that effort being feasible three to four times a year, Matt?

I appreciate the work put into it but it seems like it must have been time consuming.

[fsquid]

I've got a list in, so once Davenport picks, mine will be instantaneous.

[spot]

Any ideas of where to export draft lists from in-game? It used to be in the draft menu but I can't find the option now. Am I missing something?

[PaulC]

Thanks for all you hard work Matt!

[liquidcrash]

Thanks Matt.

I've loaded up enough players to get to my pick. Got a few names that I hope are still around at 16, but not counting on it.
