2019 BKDB Amateur Draft

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Hey guys!

Our 2019 Amateur Draft will begin on July 14th at 7pm CT.  The draft will be held on Proboards and last six rounds.  Draft picks can be traded up until July 10th at 7pm CT, at which time the draft order will be locked.  A full draft order for each round will be posted on July 12th at 7pm CT for each round. 

Teams may only select players that were signed by an MLB team in the recent MLB Draft or any unowned players that are still prospects by eligibility according to our league rules.  A list of draft prospects from the 2019 MLB Draft will be posted and kept up to date with who has already been picked to help you know who is available.  Use the Player Search Tool in the right sidebar to search for prospects you're not sure are owned or not.  

Teams will have a 24 hour clock to make their draft pick, but are encouraged to make their picks as soon as possibly.  Other GM's will tag you on GroupMe or message you on Proboards when you're on OTC, so try to have your pick ready and be as prompt as possible to keep things moving.  

Teams can begin trading 2020 Amateur Draft picks at the conclusion of the 2019 Draft.  Teams can only trade players taken in the 2019 Amateur once the round the player was drafted in concludes and the Official Rosters are updated.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!

I forgot we changed this rule last year. But 2020 picks can be traded actually at the START of the 2019 Amateur Draft, not the end. We moved the trade deadline up, so this will allow teams more time and assets before the trade deadline. I'll make a post about when the trade deadline is soon.

Reminder! 2019 Draft picks can only be traded until July 10th at 7pm CT! A full draft order will be posted shortly after for our draft that starts THIS SUNDAY at 7pm CT.
