  • 1983 Rookie Draft

    The draft will start at 9 PM ET on Tuesday January 15th. The new draft utility can be found HERE and I also added a link under Utilities in the BLB menu bar.

    Please look at the utility to make sure all traded picks are correct.

    Pick Time Limits:
    1st Round & Sandwich: 8 hours
    2nd Round & Sandwich: 4 hours
    Remaining Rounds: 2 hours
    Managers who go over their time limit will be placed on Autopick until they return

    The draft clock runs between 8 am and 12 midnight ET. The utility will not autopick for you if you go over your time. I have to do it manually so please make use of the preference list to avoid going over the time limit and delaying the draft.

    Preference List Usage
    Please let me know if you have any questions on how to use the utility.

    - 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.

    Autopick preferences
    <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->- Auto Pick: Auto-pick a player. The auto-pick uses an algorithm to determine whom it thinks it the next best player. This can be used on scouted leagues, and the algorithm intentionally “fuzzies” the player ratings, so it may not pick the best player available.

    <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->- Auto Pick by List: Will auto-pick a player using whoever is highest on the manager’s draft list. If no draft list exists for the manager, it will just auto-pick using the utility’s algorithm.

    - If both are selected, it defaults to 'Auto-draft using draft list'. If 'Auto-draft using draft list' is selected, and no players are in the draft list, no selection will be made and the manager will have to draft manually.

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

      Same password you used for the All-star voting utility, last sim utility, etc. If you've never logged in and changed your password, it should be: baseball

        Wow, my scouts are very fond of the starting pitching in this draft. Think this is the deepest draft we've had for pitching.

            There is a link to the other utilities in the banner. The draft link is just below the C in Carolina.

              Word. It's good.

              Is this the same as last year? It seemed like last year we used one that was like the OSFL? Or am I completely high?

                Nope, completely different than last year. This one has autopick logic built in so I no longer need to use the game to autopick. Should speed up the draft quite a bit and make it MUCH easier on me.

                    This is the all nickname draft. I've seen a ton. And some very funny.

                      Yeah, I noticed a ton of Nicknames too. We should edit the Nickname database for the BLB to add some more. That would be fun to tweak with. I'd also love to get into the injury database.

                      I need to feed my writing jones somehow.

                        How about a full season preview?

                          I've thought about it, but there isn't much time to do that because everything happens so quickly from now till Opening Day. I was thinking about another thing like the "22 in 82". Also considering setting some props for wins with the new vBookie interface.

                          Who knows...

                            Maybe a quick preview? Some predictions on division winners, award winners. Or a draft review?
