1998 Expansion Draft

[CSCommish]

FILES:

ALL Players in a single pool: "http://www.hoffbl.com/expansion/EXPANSION_ALL.lg.zip"
Players still on their original teams: "http://www.hoffbl.com/expansion/EXPANSION_TEAMS.lg.zip"


REPORTS:

ALL PLAYERS IN SINGLE POOL: www.hoffbl.com/expansion/leaguesite/agents.html <-- these players are ranked by actual ratings, regardless of age
TOP 100 PROSPECTS: www.hoffbl.com/expansion/leaguesite/topprospects.html <-- these players are 25 and younger, ranked by potential talents, regardless of actual ratings
LEAGUE REPORT: www.hoffbl.com/expansion/leaguesite/ <-- these reports show players by team (necessary in the latter portion of each round)


HELPFUL HINTS: At the beginning of the round it will be easier to simply pick from the available "free agent" pool if you are looking for players who are ready now or "top prospects" pool if you are looking for build up a minor league system. As picks are made, it will be important to check the player's page and see what team they are from --- REMEMBER: you cannot pick from a team that has already lost a player in that particular round. Near the end of the round, it will be necessary to keep tabs of what existing teams have not lost a player and to check only those teams and research their team roster pages. The last pick will probably have to pick a scrub from the Red Sox. You may want to explore making a list that has exactly one player from each team and then rank them.

EXISTING TEAMS: As soon as you lose a player in each round, you may post an additional protection list (up to 3 players for each round) in your team thread. Deadlines will vary, but will generally be 8 PM the following evening.

[CSCommish]

We can start Round 1 whenever.

[dougiejays]

RP Michael Wuertz is showing up, but he should be auto-protected. He was my first round pick but there was some kind of mistake and he had to be edited onto my team.

[dougiejays]

(This was addressed in my protection thread btw)

[CSCommish]

I fixed it.

Also - the zip files won't work as a link (http vs. https protocol issues), so just copy and paste it into your browser.

[CSCommish]

Looks like there was an error on the Mariners protection list. MR Matt Mantei should not be available, but MR Jay Witasick is. www.hoffbl.com/leaguesite/p2374.html

I'll fix it in the next round / update.

Fair enough..... I'm just possibly tired of teams who do very little or nothing to help the league being impatient.  It's a free for fun league and the ones running it or helping out put in a fair amount of work.

We protect 3 after each round and not 4, correct? The top of thread says 3, so I just want to confirm since this post states otherwise.

[RoyalsGM]

I'm just going off of the constitution, which says 3 after 1977. Please confirm with Chris so I know if I need to be ready for another round or not.
