League news:
We may have a new owner for the London franchise.
The draft pool for the upcoming draft has been announced.
The following voting measures received at least six YES votes (out of 11 possible) and have passed:
- Turn on minor league free agency (turned on now)
- Limit minor league rosters to 35 players (will be enforced on Opening Day, 4/1/2028)
- Create rookie league for just drafted, international promotions, and un-drafted free agent signees (will be created on the day of the draft (3/1/2028)
- Adjust media revenue to normalize budgets (will be modified on Opening Day)
Start trimming down your minor league rosters in anticipation of the 35-man limit (which will be turned on at Opening Day).
Since the measure to add a rookie league has been enabled, we should vote on the discussion to (VOTE #1) move the draft to 6/1 each year (from the current 3/1 date), and (VOTE #2) whether to change the number of game-generated eligible players from the current 20 rounds to 30 rounds worth of players.
This proposal would be for changing the draft starting in 2029, not this current season. Please vote YES or NO to either or both of the options as a comment to this thread. Please save your discussion to the original thread.
Next sim: Next Saturday night. The draft and spring training are coming soon!
Given that we have a rookie league, Seattle votes YES on Vote #2 (increasing the draft pool to 30 rounds). We need the players for that team to come from somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSeattle also votes YES on Vote #1 (moving the draft to 6/1). I don't care very much on this issue, but this way the prospects get a full season of playing time between their last year in high school or college and their rookie season.
For this year, since we will have a rookie league, will they play a full season of games (until August/September), so we don't lose any development time? Also, have the commissioners considered extending the seasons for A, AA, and AAA into September, again to maximize development time?
Antelope Valley votes: Yes, Yes
ReplyDeleteyes to both and yes i would like to see full seasons with the rest of the minors
ReplyDeleteI vote YES to both, and have no problem extending the minor league seasons into September.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes!
