We started drafting early last year and made it through 2 rounds before we got to the actual in-game Draft date.
How do people feel about starting soon on the Draft since:
1) the board participation level is so high; may get more picks in 2) we sim every other day now so it will come quicker
I like the idea of teams getting more than their first 2 rounds in. Even if we can manually pick 3-4 rounds. My goal would be 5 rounds. This would really help you shape your franchise to your liking and that will take us through all the players we have to give bonuses too. So you would only be paying the players you drafted not guys your not a big fan of.
Thinking of doing the Draft Lottery soon too... Wouldn't mind doing it tonight or tomorrow so we know the draft order. Remember the lottery is only for the 1st round of the Draft!

I agree, I want to know if I have the first pick or not! Silly lottery. Now I know how NBA teams feel! Also, I'd like to get this party started and draft as many rounds as possible. Having the #1 pick gives you motivation to get a move on.

Wow lucky me! I have pick 14, so I can only do better ;D
Btw, why do we have 35 picks in the first round? Did some teams not sign there first round picks last year?

Amateur Draft LotteryParamount Baseball is proud to bring an NBA-style Lottery to the worst 14 teams from the previous season. The Lottery will be held on/or around the May 15th SIM of each year to go along with the releasing of the Draft Pool. The Lottery has 2,180 different outcomes that are randomly generated. The chart listed below shows teams odds of landing 1st overall pick: Amateur DraftThe “PBL Draft” will be held each year on June 15th. The teams with the worst 14-records from the previous season will be put into a Lottery system to determine the top 14 Draft order. Teams 15-30 will Draft in order from season before like a standard MLB Draft. The League will use Rookies that are generated by OOTP The Lottery will determine the draft order for the first 14 selections of the first round only. Rounds 2-30 will be based on record like the MLB Draft. Draft reports will be released 30 days prior to the Draft The draft consists of 30 rounds and the Player pool will be 35 rounds deep. If we feel we are having too many players, ‘PBL’ reserves the right to lessen the number of rounds in the future.

Here is what I am going to do. I am going to run the Lottery at some point today/tonight.
The official start date with be Thursday for the draft but whoever is up can start picking whenever they want. Something tells me, we will get a good amount of picks in before the initial start date...

I agree let's get going as soon as possible... If you need any help driving the draft along commish, I'll volunteer! Are we doing a time limit per pick this year? One rule I've seen which works is if you miss your pick you go on auto until you get a list in
