2021 Amateur Draft Discussion Thread

[mstreeter06]

Idaho has the #1 overall pick and can get things started whenever they are ready. GMs can begin to make picks here until I get Statslab ready to go (hopefully in the next hour or so).

Don't forget that the International Amateur FAs are also part of the Ammy Draft Pool when you're scouting players for the draft. They will be in different places in the game but will be combined in Statslab.

Statslab is ready to go for the draft with the combined draft pool imported.

Remember, only picks 1-1 through 1-12 are correct for the draft order in Statslab (draft order wrong in-game!) and that we can only draft though pick 1-12 until we progress in the playoffs! I am holding off moving draft picks from trades until we complete the postseason so keep that in mind.

Idaho can now pick in Statslab when they are ready! Followed by Georgia, Maryland, and New York.

Idaho selected 3B Brad Allen with the 1st overall pick. Georgia is now up with no timer!

[mstreeter06]

Georgia is still up at 2nd overall. Could they be shopping the pick?

Or asleep at the wheel 

[mstreeter06]

I'll turn on the timer Monday morning

[Troyaof]

I emailed Georgia about the pick but no response so if they are shopping, it isnt to me

If he's the top pick, its a down year, no?

The word trade or shopping causes NM's ears to ring

Down-ish for hitters at the top I think

It is a down year. I have a couple picks I have an eye on but outside of that I may not trade this off season.

[24Rocks]

Im looking to trade up tho in this down year if anyone is looking to trade down

[Troyaof]

I may looking to trade out of the draft all together

[mstreeter06]

I have the draft order adjusted in Statslab to reflect the final draft order after the playoffs then traded picks.

DOUBLE CHECK that you have the correct draft picks after all the trades!

Georgia is still on the clock at 2nd overall. I'll auto the pick at 6am CT on Monday (11/17) if not made by then...

1st and 2nd round -> 6 hour draft slot window
3rd and 4th round -> 4 hour draft slot window
5th and 6th round -> 2 hour draft slot window
7th and 8th round -> 1 hour draft slot window

Timer will start at 8am CT on Monday (11/17) and run daily from 8a-8p during the week, paused on the weekends. Let's get this going guys!

[Troyaof]

Looking to trade out of this draft either for picks in the future or prospects. My ML team isnt too bad I guess so I dont need much there.  Bring on those trade blocks.
