Inseason Amateur draft

[Oregon Three Lions of Madison]

We hold a 2 round in season amateur draft. This takes place after the MLB draftee signing deadline which is usually mid July. We think it is better this way so that no one drafts a guy that goes unsigned by their MLB drafting club.

Players selected in this draft do not get added to your rosters until the offseason, so don't worry if you are at the 20 player max. You can still select players in this draft.

To add, the timing of this draft is to ensure that no one drafts a player that doesn't sign with the MLB club that selected them. In my head it was obvious, but I just wanted to make it known that we will not award a compensation pick the following year if you draft a guy that doesn't sign. Example, you have the fifth pick in the draft. You know that the next years draft is supposed to be significantly better than this year. Drafting a guy that doesn't sign thinking that you will get the 5a pick next year is not a strategy you can use in this league.
