We'll hang out here for Amateur Draft related talk!
Washington is free to pick here or in Statslab when it's ready (I'll work on it today).
Statslab draft link: http://www.afblbaseball.com/afbl/statslab/draftBoard.php
We'll likely conduct the entire draft offline using Statslab but I'm open to a live draft night if we want!
-
Statslab is ready to go with the current draft order and draft picks traded (picks 13-20 are subject to change, currently in order of WIN%).
Washington is free to start us off with the Ammy Draft whenever!
-
Gah, I debated quite a bit about my first pick, but Chandler is a reasonably well developed, switch hitting catcher. Let's hope he's worth it!
-
His arm isn't great, but other than that he looks like an ideal catcher. I always like my catchers to be smart.
-
Looking to trade up/for multiple 1st round picks.
-
Depending on the NY picks, will be interesting to see who's there at #4.
C Willie Patton had a great second season for us and broke a number of team records, but I still need help everywhere especially with a lot of aging position players. I'm hoping next year will break our streak of 4 straight years with 90+ losses, but we might be another year away from that.

Yeah what is taking NY so long? Nearly 4 days to make their picks.

He just picked. He's been battling a stomach bug.

Pick is in. 3B has been a trouble spot for us, hopefully this guy pans out.

Had my eye on Ortiz...Interesting draft so far.

Sweet, glad to hear he's not MIA :)

I actually almost went with Jed Anderson there because of pretty much comp offensive potential (aside from the power) but much better fielder. But they're both 22 and Ortiz is a bit further along. I couldn't bring myself to take a closer at #4 overall. So went with need over best available player since we also have Colorado's first pick to nab whoever is still out there.
-
Ontario let me know that he'll be picking today.
We will move to a draft timer starting tomorrow at 8am CT. Likely a 4-6 hour window per draft slot with it resetting after each pick. I'll post the final details later today. I'd like to finish the Ammy Draft by next week (maybe Wed?).
I'll be updating the draft order with the playoff teams and their picks (and traded picks) in Statslab today.

Sorry I was feeling all kinds of awful, moving was not pleasant and I just didn't even think about the league or anything because I left my computer in another room and just slept on and off most of the time.
As far as the draft, I need so much it was nice to be able to draft guys with high ceilings and work on hopeful development. Could have a leadoff hitter and 4 hitter right there.
-
Also to put it out there I am interested in trading back into the first round if anyone has interest in figuring out a trade.

I had a real hard time deciding between Thomas and Chandler. Campbell was a close 3rd for me. Really nice to have two top picks like you did!

I caught a break with your decision. One position with some decent quality and depth that I have is catcher. Really worked out well for both of us. Its hard to take over someone else's team and change it to your vision but this definitely helped the rebuilding process a lot. My goal is to compete of course but see the rebuild as long term so I can do it right even if it means a year or two of struggles. This goes a long way to putting talent in the system.
-
I am up in the 2nd round right now and very open to a trade. email me troyaof@gmail.com or PM on google at the same address or PM here on the boards or reply to this message.
-
I am looking to trade these 2 picks but I do leave for work in an hour. If I can't make a deal by then I will turn my list pick on let my next 2 picks be made while I am at work.
-
I know I'm up but I keep getting an error saying I am not team 8 and need to log in as commissioner.
I'm heading to bed but will try again in the morning.
-
If you get an error in Statslab after making your pick, it is a false error. It happens after a string of auto/list picks. Give it a moment and go back to the draft results to confirm the pick went through. Sorry guys!
-
Idaho just messaged me that he'll be online at 5pm CT to make his pick for those wondering. Thanks!
-
I am updating my game and then will do my cross checking between the game and stats lab and make my pick unless someone else wants it. I'd gladly trade it
-
I've now got 2/3 of the Angola on the Lake College outfield from last season.
-
I'm around for 5th round tonight if we get that far.
-
We'll have a 90 minute draft slot timer through the 6th Round and then a 60 minute draft timer for the reminder of the draft (7th and 8th Rounds). Plan accordingly please!
-
We might finish this tonight at this pace haha. Awesome work everyone. Thanks!
-
Home stretch!
