  • 2003 BLB Amateur Draft - Starting 09/12

    The draft will start Thursday, September 12th at 8am (ET) - However, teams are welcome to start untimed whenever they'd like to

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

    NOTE: The correct order is reflected today in the utility. Draft order in game will be corrected before draft date.

    Sandwich Round/Comp Pick policy is in effect.

    Round 1
    Round 2
    Sandwich A (Supplemental Round to Round 2)
    Round 3
    Sandwich B (Supplemental Round to Round 3)
    Round 4


    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.

            In my defense, I don't do a lot of drafting in the first three rounds. Delandis made me say it.

                Number one Pick Hernandez. I thought long and hard about him for us. So check that one off. There will be a stud a 1.3 just hope I don't blow it

                    Those two guys were not who I expected to go in the top slots.

                    Not knocking them -- they look good. Just not what I expected.

                      I like both picks. I think Hernandez woulda been around at 8-10 but I really like him.

                        We had Mark Young as sort of (1a) pick. You really can't lose with him. My scout loves him. Projects as a really nice all around hitter.

                        Xavier Hernandez different story. I know unless you play firstbase IF's arent deep in this draft. I'm thinking he would of went sooner then Pat expected, but you probably could of traded down a few spots, picked up an extra late first or early second and still gotten your man. Always good to nab some more bullpen guys. Overall, solid player. OSA really LOVES him, but waiting for the official "OSA stamp".

                          Don't think Hernandez should have gone there. Young, I get it, but Hernandez was a reach for #1 overall.

                          Both will contribute one day though, and there's nothing wrong with that.

                            Agreed. My scout said they should both go later than they were taken, but he is a dick. I personally love Young and would have taken him first overall if I had a chance. He looks a lot like DAV's OF prospect Tom Gibson so I'm curious how that pans out. Regardless of who was taken where, DAV needed to make a infield selection and he did.

                              I'm just waiting for Brad to release his "picks who make the Top 100 list." After years of studying the game in single player he has become an expert.
