Re: Round 8 Reply #19 – August 08, 2018, 06:27:32 AM Things are quite chaotic this year, more so than previous ones. I believe the Asterisks are up with pick 8.16, with a few teams skipped, correct? And if Kyle doesn't pick by 5pm Pacific, then I am on the clock? Quote Selected

Unless Rod is done, I think he's still up with the 15th pick.We'll be proposing something in the off-season to eliminate some of the chaos. We were thinking about shortening the window for picks, but also slotting picks and sending out the list the night before so everyone knows exactly when it's their turn. Quote Selected
Re: Round 8 Reply #21 – August 08, 2018, 08:29:11 AM Sweets are going to jump back into the draft and I don't believe he is on any rosters or has been taken yet. The Sweets will select Jeff McNeil, IF, of the New York Mets. Sweets are now officially done. Quote Selected

They don't even have a pick this round and declared themselves out 2 rounds ago. Those picks shouldn't come until the end of a round, if at all. Frustrating.

Re: Round 8 Reply #25 – August 08, 2018, 11:17:35 AM There was a difference between going on 'Skip' and being 'Done' I thought once the done designation was given, there was no coming back. Quote Selected

That might be one of those "unwritten" rules, but I'd never heard of it, to be honest. With Coy being a new owner, I'm certainly willing to let it go.But maybe we should suggest something be added to the rulebook? Quote Selected

Only for invalid or skipped picks is it mentioned, in other words, active drafters, not once a team declares they are finished. Regardless, add it to the discussion for future Minor League Draft rules. Quote Selected

The email I received from David about going on skip stated that I would be allowed to rescind being done later and make another pick if I would like. I asked David before I made my pick to make sure that it was allowed but if it isn't I am okay with my pick being retracted. Quote Selected

With McNeil now gone...Cache Hogs select Ezequiel Duran, 2B, NYYChris:First off, Coy never actually posted that he was done. He sent me a private email about it, But as he points out, he subsequently asked me if he could come back in. I told him that there was no problem.I did so based on us not having any rule (written or unwritten) about this. We've always allowed it. I'm pretty sure the last time we talked about this one (I think me and Kyle) was two years ago. And we decided that there is no great alternative. If we establish a rule saying that DONE means permanently done, no team will ever declare that they are done, they'll just let themselves be auto-skipped until the draft ends.In addition, at the end of every draft, we usually announce the end and give everyone 24 hours to make any final picks. Which basically means that every team that is DONE still has some time to jump back in and make a final pick or two. Quote Selected 1 Likes
