  • 2020 Official Draft Thread - Starting Tues 2/14

    http://www.simgamingnetwork.com/blb/...draftBoard.php


    Pick Time Limits:

    1st Round and 2nd Round: 4 hours
    Remaining Rounds: 2 hours

    The draft clock runs between 8am and 11pm 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.

    Also feel free to make a draft list in the Team Warroom. One of the great new features of Statslab is the "Export Draft List" link next to your Save button. After you make a list make sure you hit that button and save that file. That way if we need to reboot the utility you can use the "Import Draft List" and won't lose any work.

    Maybe it's because I spent more money on scouting it this year but my scout is very impressed with class. He thinks the first round, especially top half will be dominated by pitchers but there does appear to be some pretty good hitters as well.
    Agreed! It looks like a nice year to have extra picks!

          My scout thinks the best reliever in the draft might be a catcher.

            The website shows Pawtucket gaving my 2021.2, but the game shows Pawtucket having California's 2020.2. Does this matter at all? It was a 2021.2.

              Ignore the game completely. Only go by what's on the traded picks screen in the forums.

                Thanks Matt!

                For the first time in a few years, my coat ratings don't look anything like the top ten that was released in the news reel. Hopefully my scout know's what he's doing.

                When the time comes... I'm also open to trading down from 12 for two late firsts or a late first and early second when the time comes.

                  Certain vets are probably PM'ing you as I type. I highly advise top 15 teams to keep their picks unless you think the draft is that deep.

                  When you can get a potential star at #12, it is worth far more than two maybe's at #twenty something and in the 2nd round.

                      I agree with Matt.

                      Trading down rarely gets you a positive result.

                        It always depends on who is there but the value in the top half of the 1st is very valuable.

                            I haven't taken a look at the draft, but I'm probably at 4 or 5 and was looking to move down.

                            But the way some of you are talking, I might hold on to it.
