How to start minor leagues

[Chicago White Sox (Commish)]

Original plan

Inaugural Team Draft
We will hold a draft on which MLB team name we want. You will then be able to select up to 10 minor league players from that organization to keep.
Minor League Prospects will include any players that have not crossed the 130 ab / 50 ip threshold.
Team Draft would take place on the proboards site and the draft order would be opposite order of MLB players draft.
Teams will need to post their list of prospect keepers within 24 hours of making draft pick.

Option 2

Just do a full minor league draft from scratch. Everyone can pick their own team names how ever it must include a city or state. Example Kansas City Bad Asses, Texas Wildcats, etc. Then division placement would be random.



Hopefully this is last poll for awhile lol. But I like getting everyone's opinions before making a decision

Just to clarify, would players like Tanaka/Abreu be considered among the 10 prospects since they have not passed the 130/50 threshold or would they be included in the MLB draft?

[Atlanta Braves (whiteyherzog)]

Original plan is the fairest and trying to run two long and complex drafts at the same time or consecutively is probably too hard to accomplish with 30 owners

I believe any international player over 24 years old would not be eligible in the MiLB draft from what commish said

I like the first idea, and I think all cuban and japanese should not count as minor leaguers.

Any international guys over 24 are not considered prospects in this league and will be MLB draft only.

Always could let each team start with 5 prospects...draft fully...and allow each team to add 5 more of their own prospects from their organization that are left over after the draft
