Franchise GM: Rules Changes / FYPD Rule Change Request
« on: November 18, 2021, 01:23:49 PM »
At the present time, our First Year Player Draft (FYPD) has a 12 hour clock for the 1st Round.  Then, in Rounds 2-10, it goes to an 8 hour clock.  Since there is no clock stoppage during the night, there are many times when someone gets a draft clock that expires during the wee hours of the night.  This often places the person On the Clock in a precarious position because their turn comes up at a time when they are probably sleeping.

I realize that there is no sure fire remedy, because with 30 GMs living in different time zones, Eastern Time deadlines literally fall at different times.  I live on the West Coast in Goleta, CA, and there is a 3 hour difference between ET and PT, so I can give auto picks to teams whose clocks expire In the early morning hours.  I have resigned myself, as the Draft Moderator, to having irregular sleeping habits during the draft to make sure it keeps going.  I willingly do this and I am not mentioning it to gain sympathy.  I believe that in order to run an effective draft, PMs must go out in a timely manner and the Draft Board has to be updated regularly. 

There are times, particularly after GMs start opting out of the draft, where things move swiftly.  There we?re two instances when this happened during the 2021 draft, and in both cases I was able to accommodate the parties involved because it didn?t really affect the flow or integrity of the draft.

All that said, I propose going to a 12 hour clock for the entire draft.  Clock expirations lead to a team being placed on Autopick and that essentially safeguards the draft from dragging on.  During our recent draft, teams were on Autopick at their request, and often times, for those who were given an Autopick as the result of a clock expiation, I gave them another opportunity to make their own picks in the next round before placing them on Autopick.  With that, any team on Autopick can always request to be taken off Autopick and placed back in the draft rotation.

A 12 hour clock will not really extend the draft that much.  Many of you, once receiving a PM that you are On the Clock, jump onboard and post your pick.  In recent years, by the 5th Round, the participating teams shrink in number and the draft moves rather quickly. 

Please post your thoughts on whether we should go to a 12 hour clock for the entire FYPD.  If 7 other GMs voice their support, then I will put the proposal up as a referendum for a league wide vote.

GMs,

Although I will periodically check the Draft Board on my phone, for the most part, I will be unavailable during the day (12:00 pm ET - 8:00 pm ET).  I will be on the road for about 4 of those hours and won?t be checking the Board at all.  If you draft a player, alert the next GM that they are on the clock via PM.  You can see who is up next in the Draft Order Post.

If someone has let their time slip away, go ahead and post your pick and inform the next GM.

Thanks!

Pirates trade:
MI Arteaga, Aeverson, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Giants trade:
MI Leonard, Eddys, $0.5m (P-n/a)
C O'Hoppe, Logan, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Just a minor deal for each team where we swap prospects.  Something of a homer trade for the Giants, Aeverson Arteaga is an international prospect that is moving up the Giants prospect ladder.  I may regret trading away O?Hoppe with Buster retiring and, along with Leonard, but I believe Arteaga will get to the majors in a few years.

Pirates to confirm.

Franchise GM: GM & Team News / Astros are available
« on: November 04, 2021, 11:28:01 PM »
It seems that the illustrious GM of the Astros has decided to abandon his team.  He has not logged onto the ProFSL site since August 27th and has not  responded to any of my communications.  As recently as yesterday, I sent him a PM asking if he is still interested in being a part of FGM.  He did not respond and today I had to autopick his 1st round draft pick.

So, as of today, the Astros are available and in need of a replacement GM.  If you are reading this and interested in taking over the team, please PM me or post a reply to this post.  In the meantime, the Astros will be subject to league proprietorship.

Here is a link to the team roster:

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
