We don’t allow bidding on minor leaguers during the season until called up. Also annoying!

After the minor league draft we cannot pick up any minor leaguer. They are untouchable until the reach the majors then its a free for all.Its not what you've got. Its what you give.

yes, when we have drafted before the season started owners were free to speculate on a player making an Opening Day roster.
then if they didn't, the player is released AND the replacement is 10 units. that was an effective discouragement from anything silly.
about 20 years ago there was confusion on this front, where one owner quietly asked one next to him if so-and-so was still up. the other owner guessed no, so the first guy didn't nominate him. late in the auction, the name came up and so the one owner said no, he's been sent down. the nominator says he doesn't think so, and the bidding begins in case he makes the roster. player goes for 6 units.
the guy did make the team after all. he played for the Cardinals. Al Pulyoz, Pujnos - something like that.

an owner wants the No. 1 pick, he says.
he has 6 top-100 farmhands, also picks 4, 8, 17, and 24 (out of 24) and 3 of the 12 June picks.
with 2 non-top 100 as well, and only 8 slots total by mid-April, I could see chasing after 4, 8, and a June pick - he can't keep 'em all!finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Looking for your thoughts on 2 guys. I'm in a 10 team AL only league with a minor league roster of 10. So at this point most of the well known names are already kept. We can also draft anyone who has rookie status so college players, a few NL prospects and foreign players are also already on roster.s
Kevin Maitan SS Angels-I took him maybe 2-3 years ago when he was made a free agent after the Atlanta fiasco. I thought I had made a nice pick but he really hasn't done much. I keep hearing he is young and still a very viable prospect but he continually slides down prospect boards.
Kevin Smith SS Toronto- Kind of the same situation though he appears to be more glove than stick. My fear is he may be more of a baseball player than a rotiss player.
I already have 5 spots to fill this year so if I drop these two it could go up to seven. Can I get better prospects say 80 picks into a minor league draft? Everyone from last years 2019 MLB draft is available as is anyone who could be drafted this year. With so many AL teams in the first few picks of the draft I hope to draft 1-2 guys from the 2020 class.

I'm with SM, and I'm a very disappointed Maitan owner myself. I'd drop both guys and take a shot to improve your lot...hell you've got Witt, Rutchman, Vaughn, Dominguez, Greene, etc...lots of good bats, not to mention some good pitchers.

Any thoughts on this Minor League Draft Decision? I have first 2 picks in a 15 team team mixed. In win now mode and after taking Jasson #1, the next top available are Carrol, Howard, Downs, White, Marte. I like Carrol best but already have Ariz OF Robinson along with Franco and Luciano. Having no young pitchers and looking for 2020 help, Howard and White intrigue me. But if neither contribute significantly this year I probably should just take Carrol and perhaps work a mid season deal.
What say you Junkies?

Thanks Hornsby, Howard only pitcher listed, Marte is Noelvi. White looks like a safe bet to get the most playing time this year and likely will be a late teens or early 20's pick in our deep keeper draft. He looks Meh to me though. 20 homer ceiling with not many SB's in a Mariners lineup? And since I am weakest at pitching I might be able to use a second half arm if Howard sticks. Usually stay away from pitching but something pulling me toward him.
