Gentlemen: Hello, and welcome to the Inaugural Prospect Draft of IGN-MLB! Please feel free to contact me and/or NBAman619 with any questions, comments, or concerns. Now, onto the nitty gritty.
Player Eligibility
In order to be eligible for this draft, a player must:
Time Frame
The draft shall be twelve (12) rounds long, and will be in a serpentine format (meaning the order reverses at the end of every round). Each team will have twenty-four (24) hours to make their selection starting on February 5, 2021 at 8 PM EST.
After a team has made eight (8) selections, they may choose to forfeit any remaining picks going forward. Should you choose to forfeit one pick, you must forfeit the rest. However, you are allowed to defer your pick, so to speak, waiving your twenty-four hour window and allowing the draft to move on while you determine your pick.
If you know that you will be away from the computer for an extended period of time, you may send a list of players to either commissioner, and said commissioner will make your next selection for you.

A Quick Note
As many (most?) of you are aware, I watch a great deal of Minor League Baseball, and I usually make a top-100 list of my own. I have not done so yet, and I'm not sure if/when I will. However, I am still unhealthily obsessed with prospects, and I have read (and in a few cases re-read) everything above - as well as a few other items. So with that in mind, NBAman619 and I decided I'd offer this service:
If you have a prospect question, you can PM it to me, and I will answer it to the best of my ability. I won't rank a large list of players for you and I won't tell you who to draft. However, I will give you my thoughts on a player - his ceiling, his floor, if he'll stick at a position, etc. I'm by no means an expert, but I like to think that I'm very well-informed. And I'm always happy to talk prospects.
