Mock Draft Update

by John Sickels on May 29, 2025 10:31 AM EDT in News

Due to popular request, I am switching the date of the Mock Draft from Monday June 6 to Sunday, June 5, at 1:00 PM Central Time. I realize that a few of the Scouting Directors can't do it on Sunday, but it appears that more people will participate overall if we do it on Sunday, so I think this is a switch we need to make.

If you have been assigned as a Scouting Director, but can't be here on Sunday, please post in the Comments section attached to this thread. It would help if you can designate a replacement, perhaps someone who has posted in the MOD thread for your team. Let me know what you want to do.

Here is the current list of assignments. I will update the list as needed.

Anaheim: jagsbball41
Arizona: cubfan33
Atlanta: MPK
Baltimore: erudite
Boston: templeuSox
Cincinnati: JD Arney
Chicago AL: mrkupe
Chicago NL: acerimusdux
Cleveland: jdelavalle
Colorado: cunningt
Detroit: robb
Florida: kingkoala
Houston: longhornjaws
Kansas City: Kannc6
Los Angeles: sanchez101
Milwaukee: NEED SOMEONE
Minnesota: hotshotschamp
New York AL: superpriebe
New York NL: JJ1986
Oakland: ohad
Philadelphia: tinkertoevers
Pittsburgh: WTM
St. Louis: alien
San Diego: sdbaseballfan
San Francisco: novaoakland
Seattle: macmariner
Tampa Bay: PolkCountyRay
Texas: Brandon Wilson

SD assignments

john, i think superpriebe wanted the yankees assignment. was that a mistake in your post? if so, i'll take either the phillies or the mariners. the phillies have no 1st rounder but 4 picks in the first 5 rounds whereas the mariners have a great 1st round pick but only 3 picks in the first five rounds!!!

heck, i'll take both if no one's in on it (and if that doesn't stand as a conflict of interest)

Correction made. You have the Mariners, superpriebe has the Yankees.

still need someone for the Phillies.

If...

...the time is changed to Sunday evening I'd love to take the Phillies. Unfortunately I have a commitment that I can't get out of the during the day. Kills me because I love the Shadow Draft and I'd love to be here for this. Oh well! I look forward to seeing the results.

phillies

I'll take them. No first rounder, but it still should be fun.

'Free Agents'

If someone who doesn't have any particular affiliation is looking for a team to help out, I'm feeling very lonely over in the Nationals diary...

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Pinning the MODs

Is there any way to 'pin' the MODs to the front page, or allow us to bookmark them or something? The earliest ones are about 40 deep on the diaries list now.

not sure

I don't think there is. If it gets too far down, you should start a new diary.

Problem with starting new diaries

is that there are 30 teams. So if everyone starts doing multiple diaries for this it just gets more confusing.

I found the easiest thing to do was to just change the setting at the bottom of the diary list to show 50 diaries. For now, that's enough to get all of them on the page.

And they are all in one place - starting with the White Sox diary - which looks like the first one - 19 of 20 diaries in a row are MOD diaries. So as long as they're still at least in the top 50, I don't think they're too tough to find.

Brewers Diary?

I think the Brewers are the only team left without a diary.

phiago, CUBS mod

I'm OUT, due to the change to Sunday I can't participate, but so far there is 1 poster in my MOD diary who posted 3 times, LeftyAce88, he seems to be up on research and if he wants it, I'm more than happy to turn the reigns over to him.

Sorry

leftyace88

LeftyAce88, do you want the job??

by John Sickels on May 31, 2025 9:16 AM EDT reply actions

SD openings

I'd take either the Cubs or Brewers opening if no one else does.

I'm really a Met fan, but I'd like to run a draft. I'd rather give it to one of the team's fans though if one of them wants the job.

Brewers MOD

Sorry John, I'll be out on Sunday. If there is another who can MOD that day, I might be back by Sunday evening to help out.

In the meantime, I can start a Diary. I hadn't begun one yet because of the impending day switch.

Thanks.

The minors: baseball's only true league left...

we're falling like flies!

sorry john, but i won't be around for the first round or two. i put a post up in our MOD: mariners thread but have yet to have any bites at taking over my responsibilities.

if it's necessary or possible or allowable we could do an absentee 1st round (since we know who our top 3 are) and then i could commence with our next pick in the 4th round ....

let me know what you think?
