- The draft is combined. Picks can be traded.
- The correct J2 guys and combined with the previous summer's college/HS players
- The draft will continue towards the beginning of the season... making it easier to draft guys we see likely to get MLB playing time.

If you vote no... it's helpful if you share reasons so that we can work towards a better idea that works for everyone. Thanks guys.

I voted no for two primary reasons/
1). Two separate drafts gives rebuilding teams two shots at top talent….top amateur draft talent and top international talent. Combining these takes away this advantage and allows the dominant teams an advantage that they really shouldn’t have in a competitive league.
2). Our 6 round drafts already take months to complete. A 12 round draft may still be going when the 2024 draft starts.
This being said, it is apparent that this is what the league wants to do so…there’s that.

We will do our best to make this 12 round draft enjoyable for everyone and make future adjustments if needed in future years. Let's give this a go in 2023-2024 and see how we like it. With 16 votes in favor, this passes. An updated off-season schedule + new draft thread will be posted this weekend to clarify for everyone. Until then, enjoy playoff baseball tomorrow! |

But I wanna trade all picks, so I approved because of that. I've proposed it in past and was shot down. Idk why it gained traction this time, and with this proposal. |
