2007 Prospect Draft - Information and Sign Ups

[lollipopcurve]

If you DO NOT want a prospect you drafted last year please post that in that thread so we know who is available to be drafted this year on the 16th.

I failed miserably in this last year. Someone took over Valaika for me and Mike Griffin went neglected all summer. Griffin's up for grabs -- I still consider him an interesting guy to watch -- and I'll officially bow out.

[Mario-Rijo]

I'll give it a whirl. But it would be interesting to know who (with any type of future) is available from last year so I can add that # to how many new picks we have and decide how many rounds to go. But on 2nd thought I will go one round for sure and depending on who is left I may take a 2nd pick, I'll let ya know when the time comes.

I'll join if it isnt too late

[camisadelgolf]

I had five picks last year. I'm done with Chris Gruler and Pete Rose, Jr. for obvious reasons. I never got around to Robert Manuel, so anyone can feel free to pick him. I lost interest in Valiquette, so he's available, too. His thread is here: http://www.redszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48292

I'll keep Tyler Pelland, though. I just updated his thread. I'd like to pick a different prospect this year, though.

[KittyDuran]

I hereby would like to grant my unconditional release to Steve Kelly. [Noochie Varner is with the Astros organization this year] So I'll try with two drafts this year, maybe one at Dayton and one with Chattanooga.

[Topcat]

I hereby drop Justin Reed and will be hanging onto Derrick Lutz.

[RedLegsToday]

Are we starting today?

[Red Leader]

Are we starting today?

Let's plan for tomorrow, 9am. I just got back from over a week's vacation and am swamped at work today. Tomorrow will be better for me. I'll update the front page and remove those prospects that people no longer want today so you'll know who's taken for tomorrow.

[Red Leader]

Here is the most updated list of prospects who are already under someone's control. If there are any changes that need to be made, please let me know. I'll be following this post up with a couple "cleaner" lists that might be easier to read. Also will make a post for draft order to list those people involved last year and those that said they were interested this year. Both posts to follow soon.

Let me know if there are any corrections to be made.

[Red Leader]

As far as the draft order goes, I thought it would be a little more "fair" to allow those that did not participate last year to draft first (since they do not have any prospects under control), then we'll move to last year's "owners" in reverse order of last year's draft. That seems to me to be the best way to do this.

Also, if I DO NOT here back from those who participated last year and have not posted in this thread I will assume they DO NOT want to draft any new prospects this year. I will also be releasing all players that they drafted last year. So, if you drafted last year and are on this list:

AvesIce51
New Fever
Buckeye33
tripleaaaron
Z-Fly
Scrap Irony
LincolnparkRed
GoReds
rdiersin
BuckeyeRedLeg
halycon
Heath

Please post in this thread and let me know if you are interested in participating this year and/or interested in retaining your players from last year's draft.


With all of that being said, here is the initial draft order:

Please post in this thread and let me know if you are interested in participating this year and/or interested in retaining your players from last year's draft.

The only person on the list above I've heard from is Heath. He is on vacation and will not be able to draft today. He is going to keep all of his assigned prospects. The draft will start in 1/2 hour. If I do not hear from any of the above posters by the time the draft starts, their players will be released and be eligible to be drafted by another poster this year. Please post in this thread and PM me if you are on the list above and are interested in participating this year and/or want to retain prospects you drafted last year. Thank you.

Red Leader, I wanted to drop Moran and Tiegs. Neither of them are with the organization anymore.

Thanks.
