Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Seems reasonable. It can happen that all the players in your auto-queue get taken before you get a chance to check in and refill your queue, then come your turn the system will auto-pick some guy at random.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 - If someone comes off the IL in real life during the draft, just leave them on your IL. You can fix your roster after the draft. To make this work you'll have to change the IL enforcement rule to allow roster moves, or people won't be able to move their drafted players to the minors.

You just need to select that auto-pick only selects guys from your queue. You can also select how many picks you want auto-picked from your queue.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I just removed my last 2 picks from the draft. I'm full.

Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I like 3 hours windows, but think we should freeze from 00:00 EST to 06:00 EST. Auto-draft has some flaws, and if everyone is queue'ing up, it could progress through a full round overnight. There are times where one pick is dependent on what you were given at your last pick, which is the only downside of auto-draft.

Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Gonna be a shitload of pop up guys this year also. Yep exactly. This is the first time we will see a full season start to finish that we get to draft off next January.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 My major league team is really going to suck for a while lol but at least now I'll have some fun watching younger players and praying some pan out well Basically -- Mike Trout + J.T. Realmuto --> Bo Bichette, Andrew Vaughn, Jasson Dominguez, Gavin Lux, Zac Veen, Matt Manning, Riley Greene

Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Here are my initial thoughts for next NPD: - We will use the draft room - Windows will be somewhere between 3 and 6 hours. No overnight pause. The expectation is that people will use auto-draft if they have a pick upcoming or will just be ready to pop in. - At the start of the draft you should have a maximum of 26 MLB players and as many open spots on the MiLB roster as picks you want to use. It is legal to draft a prospect straight to your MLB roster so you may go into the draft with less than 26 MLB players. - If you might trade for draft picks during the draft you might want to go into the draft with even more open spots. Fantrax locks all add/drops during the draft and commissioners won't force a drop for you because you want to make a trade. - If someone comes off the IL in real life during the draft, just leave them on your IL. You can fix your roster after the draft. - We temporarily expand rosters to 27 so you have one flex spot in which to draft your prospects. You should then demote them immediately. Commissioners will force demote actual prospects (no MLB experience) who have no green flag. - It is legal to draft a player with MLB experience during the draft. Not sure why you would, but you can. - If you draft an MLB player and that clogs up your roster (i.e., they fill your 27th spot) you are s*** out of luck. The commissioners won't drop someone for you so you can draft prospects with your next picks. - If your clock starts to run and you have a full farm + 26 MLB players there is no official trade window for the pick and a commissioner may skip the pick as soon as your clock starts. - If you do not have a full roster there is a 30 minute trade window on picks. Why not just make the rosters unlimited during the draft? People can't pick up or drop players anyway, aside from in the draft room. Then after the draft, drop it back down and people will have to sort out their rosters to make them legal before the system will let them do anything else.

I've thought of this and it's a possibility. Only downside I see is people would use all their picks and then end up dropping prospects. So guys would get taken in the 4th round and end up dropped. May not be a big deal

Laika Community Moderator Posted March 6, 2021 Author Posted March 6, 2021 Hurl tried to auto-draft his last pick but it didn't work because he never demoted his previous picks. I am going to give him whoever his selection was meant to be once he tells me.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Brett Anderson, Kevin Paldo and Freddy Galvis available for picks.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Brett Anderson, Kevin Paldo and Freddy Galvis available for picks. i can't find anything on Kevin Paldo
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 i can't find anything on Kevin Paldo I remember when I was a sub, and there was always one annoying nerd who sat front-row center, who would make these kind of comments whenever there was a spelling mistake. Everyone loved that kid.
