Andy Seiler's MLB Re-draft



Hey guys, just wanted to help out Andy Seiler, who announced that he's having a "mock re-draft", similar to what John does here. Here it is in full detail:

 

I always seem to get questions about how the draft would shake out these days if it were done knowing the end result for player signings and bonus amounts. So, I’ve decided to do something simply for the fun of it. Just like John Sickels has done at Minor League Ball, I’m going to hold a mock draft. I’ll need 29 scouting directors (I’m #30), plus I need input as to what dates are available for you. We’ll be doing five rounds, so plan accordingly.

Use this thread to ask for a team assignment and give me your available schedule. Your team assignment is automatically approved unless someone above you has already asked for it. I’m handling my usual responsibility as the Rangers’ scouting director, so that’s already assigned.

Here’s the rules of the re-draft:

-Be on time, stay for the whole thing.

-Your budget is determined by real life signing bonus amounts for your team. You get to spend how much your team spent for the first TEN rounds. Those numbers are available here from BA. The changes I will make to those numbers have to do with the Royals and Rangers, as Aaron Crow and Tanner Scheppers have yet to sign. The Royals will be given $3 million extra, as that’s reportedly their offer for Crow out now. The Rangers are being assigned $2 million for similar reasons.

That’s about it. Leave your desired team in the comments and your available dates.

 So yeah, I encourage you all to sign up. If I took too much from his site there, I'll gladly edit/delete, just let me know.  Just wanted to help him out a little.

I had no idea. It’s too bad.

Someone Said In A Previous Thread

That if you post the same thing on a number of blogs then SBN will ban you automatically as a guard against spamming.

Wish they could do that with nonsense like the league want ads instead of posts that generate conversation.

I'm guessing he just wanted to avoid getting banned again...

I actually didn't plan on posting anything on here again except the draft review excerpts.

Thanks for spreading the word. And yes, I was temporarily banned for posting a similar fanpost on multiple sites in too short an amount of time. And yes, I was reinstated when an actual human looked at the reason for banning (done by a computer). So that’s that. Join up for the re-draft if you’re interested. When I have a common time that most people can make it to, I’ll post that, and I’ll fill in the owners that can’t make that time. Or they can send me their draft list, and I’ll choose for them. Anyway, that’s that. Again.

I'll take the Astros

and i’m pretty much good any time next week
