2016 Draft Thread

[mstreeter06]

We can begin the 2016 Amateur Draft in Statslab while the playoffs continue. Draft pick trades are allowed and player trades are opened up to non-playoff teams.

The New York Brewers with the #1 overall pick are free to make their selection in Statslab when they are ready!

We will be able to draft until we reach the playoff teams. Feel free to discuss things related to the draft and its pool of players here as we begin the playoffs and prepare for the longer offseason with the AFBL expanding to 20 teams!

As soon as the Brewers go I am ready. He could also trade me that pick if he likes

[Troyaof]

I am still open to trading for more picks.

Joel let me know who New York was selecting #1 overall with SP Jon Simms.

Arizona has made their selection at #2.

Ontario is now on the clock followed by California, Iowa, Pennsylvania.

Yo! Lets make some draft picks people

We are currently at #8 overall with Illinois who will have its new owner, Raymond, taking over. I'll send him a heads up and get the draft moving along.

I'll be turning on a draft slot timer that will start likely tomorrow so we can finish the Ammy Draft sooner than later.

Should we try to hold a live draft for the Ammy Draft or should we just hold it all in Statslab on a draft slot time limit?

I'm all for getting as much done through statslab, but being in Aus and a crazy time zone right now I'm biased

Yeah we are fairly spread out throughout the world. I'm cool with using solely Statslab with a draft slot timer.

And Texas is on clock!

Tony Hernandez is gonna be a stud if he gets to potential. Stolen base records over here

Interesting pick Troy, with so much talent still around in the draft I bet we'll all be hoping those first round picks don't bomb, of which I'm sure at least half will.

I am using the same draft strategy I used 2 years ago. That draft has FIVE starters on my team now. It has to work....

[Troyaof]

Texas must be working or asleep or something...

Not hard to become a starter at Arizona

Since you have 4 or so of them I guess you'd know
