Wow, the draft is almost here. We will begin the draft this year officially on Saturday June 9th. Clocks will begin running at 9 am. The cutdown deadline will be the day before, June 8, at midnight. People can start making and recording picks as soon as the real life draft is over if they want. Please post your cutdowns somewhere public (message board or Yahoo thread). That way someone can notice and process them. You have to cut down to 12 picks+prospects at the deadline. If you don't, any surplus draft picks will disappear. Extra picks don't stick around after the cutdown to give you a chance to trade them. 12 hour windows with no timeouts overnight, as per usual. If you miss a window entirely, future windows are halved (down to 3 hours). Please email the guy after you. You can trade MiLB assets during the draft, as usual, but the trades have to be even on both sides in terms of # of minor league assets (unless one of the owners has less than 12 minor league assets for some reason.) Trading while you are on the clock is illegal unless it occurs at the very beginning of your clock (first 15 minutes or whatever). If a trade is not balanced someone is allowed to dissolve a remaining draft pick to facilitate it, but you CANNOT drop a prospect during the draft. Not fair to do that! Check the rules if you are unsure about anything.

Homer or Giolito if you want qualified dudes. Hat tips to Tillman, Tomlin, Marty Perez, Fulmer, and BRYAN mitchell. Not sure if any of them are even starting games now though.

Bo now has the best BB% of his career, 14 steals, and he has been getting solid reports about his D at SS. Seems like he might have slimmed down or otherwise traded some of his bulk/power for general athleticism. Probably a good thing. Man, if he becomes an actual SS in the majors who can add value on the bases... that would be something. We've all read the Nomar Garciaparra comps this year I'm guessing.

Freddy Peralta for Franmil Reyes is almost too perfect.

Huh, I guess Albert Almora is good. Also Machado >>> Correa

Jack Romano

I would be open minded to leaving Yahoo, but very hesitant. I don't think I'd leave for Fantrax. But it would be nice to just have a continuous league with minor league rosters... frig

46.2 IP 41 strikeouts 42 walks ... Tyler Chatwaaaaaaat?

Nice catch. I was able to bench and drop him.

I can’t even think of one good reason. Maybe they are hoping he gets hurt.

Bo can spend all year in AA and AAA and come up in April 2019, thanks.

Dang, I deactivated Facebook a few months ago

Just ordered my Teoscar Hernandez jersey

Sign Hanley and use him as an excuse to DFA Morales and still keep Vlad down

Catching prospects suck. Counter for Mahle + Peralta!

Wow. Dude looked like a hall of famer through his 20s. Fell off a cliff after 30.

- I was already following her because I think she used to be a semi-active baseball/Canada/Toronto twitter person. - 10,000 self indulgent depressed tweets over the last ~6 months, some random guy seemed to have absolutely crushed her soul. - One recent one was about moving to Florida to support the career of this guy who ruined her entirely. - More recently she name-dropped "Rowdy" as the perp.

I finally figured out what happened to Rowdy Tellez.... it's bad karma! This is shameless gossip, but scroll through the twitter feed of @lexa_morgann. Seems like Rowdy legitimately ruined her life in some way or another.

It's mostly the camera angle. He does step a bit towards 3B side though.

Already there IMO

Gleyber, lmao.

Poo Egg

70 speed, 60 arm, and 40 defender. Must be retarded.

Franchy is the least hyped 70 power 70 speed player in history

Oh well, at least you were able to flip Pivetta for *squints*..... Rusney Castillo?
