Minor League (mL) Draft

[Big_E]

The mL Draft starts Monday, March 19, 2012 at 12:00 noon!

The 2012 Minor League draft will be starting soon. While the draft is running, please refrain from picking up any minor league players from the wire until it is over.
* Draft order is reverse of major league draft with the new owner slotted first in the first round
* You have 24 hours to make your pick.
* Please post your pick in large font, bolded font, colored font, anything that will make your pick stand out from the conversations.
* Please note the name, the team affiliation, and the position so there are no questions as to who you picked.
* Once you make your pick please PM the next owner that they are on the clock.
* If you go the full allotment of time without making a pick you will be automatically skipped for all further picks. However, if you check in afterward you will only forfeit that pick. Once you miss a pick, you don't get it back, you'll have to fill out your team after the draft.
* If you pick a player that is already on a roster, or is ineligible in any way (not a pro, not rookie eligible, etc) then you lose the pick, no exceptions.

[Saxmania]

Why would I get 5 picks? I have 4 mLers . . .

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

[Big_E]

Err, I looked at the wrong list? Ummm, I need more coffee?

Fixed. I think that was the only error.

[Saxmania]

No worries! Hey, if I get 9 minor leaguers, I shouldn't grumble . . .

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

Hey, you said I get no picks. I think you meant I have NO mLers and get 5 picks. Kthxbai.

[Big_E]

Don't try to screw me up...it isn't funny. K? Thanks...

[BrianNYYanks]

confirmed correct! guys w/ wood

[Hitman23]

Yeah I expected 4. COnfirmed by the Evil Fisting Empire.

But I thought I was number 1 overall? This is some bull right here.

[Big_E]

Don't mess with me!

[Big_E]

If there are no other SERIOUS corrections, the mL draft will start on Monday, March 19th at 12:00 noon. I don't think it would be very fair to start this on St Patrick's Day weekend.

[PinstripePride]

Normal format with a courtesy PM when its your turn?

[YanksForLife]

Who is Boras's Holdouts? I'll try to get this moving as fast as possible and make my pick when I get home from work Monday afternoon.

[YanksForLife]

Nevermind, found the team name sticky at the top.

[YanksForLife]

I'll pick for you! Gerritt Cole SP Pitt. NEXT!

I mean, if you guys want me to speed things up I can bold that, change the color, copy, and paste.

Derek Jeter, NY Yankees, SS

[Hitman23]

I think he might have already exceeded the maximum major league at bat limit, but I could be wrong. Plus between you and me, I don't think he'll ever really amount to anything.

Pessimist.

[Big_E]

OK, it is now 12:00 noon in the big city, the mL draft is underway and Port City Yankees is officially on the clock...

[Hitman23]

[Big_E]

PCY said he'd make his pick when he gets home from work.

[Hitman23]

I know. I just wanted to be an ass.

Clock!

[YanksForLife]

With the 1st pick in the 2012 Minor League Draft, the Port City Yankees Select:
Gerritt Cole SP Pittsburgh

Hopefully he'll sign this time.

[Hitman23]
