Posted April 26, 201014 yr Hey everybody. I started this last year so I decided to run it again this time around (unless anybody objects). For anybody who hasn't done this before, the rules are fairly simple. It is exactly like a major league draft, except we will be drafting all the Marlins from the minor leagues (AAA, AA, A). If the player is currently in the major leagues, they are ineligible to be drafted. To register for this years draft, all you have to do is post here that you are interested. All the names will be randomly chosen out of a hat, so nobody can complain about any kind of bias'. What we ask of people who join the draft is that after you draft a player, we ask that you put those players statistics as your signature (along with a picture of that player if you can find one). For pitchers, we would recommend IP, W/L, ERA, WHIP, K's, with any other extra statistics you may want you add. For hitters, we recommend BA (batting average), home runs, RBI's, OBP, OPS, and any other statistics you feel fit that players forte. Examples Hitters Mike Stanton- .500 BA 70 HR, 150 RBI, .650 OBP, 1.300 OPS 10 SB, 8 outfield assists Pitchers Chad James- 140 IP 12-10, 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 140 K's. The draft will begin at some point Saturday, May 1. Each person will get as much time to pick as possible (however, at around 3-4 days, the next person will go), so if you choose to drop out, we ask you to please post here that you have decided to skip your turn. Remember, this draft is for fun, and to keep people up to date on our prospects year round without having to google their statistics, so please try your best to stay current. Anybody who joins while the draft is taking place will be added to the end of the draft order. 1. Mike- Mike Stanton OF Jacksonville Suns 2. gizmo- Logan Morrison OF/1B New Orleans Zephyrs 3. Erick- Chad James SP Greensboro Grasshoppers 4. ArtisticHate- Kyle Skipworth C Greensboro Grasshoppers 5. floridafly- Matt Dominguez 3B Jacksonville Suns 6.

April 26, 201014 yr I'm in, simply because I loved your example on Stanton. It think Dim's underrating him, but whatever, I'll go with it.
April 27, 201014 yr In. Also, I think we should ban Stanton from being picked. I think we should ban your mom from being picked. Oh snap.
April 27, 201014 yr In. Also, I think we should ban Stanton from being picked. Awww what!?!?! It's destiny that "With the 1st pick in the 2010 MarlinsBaseball.com Adopt-A-Marlin Draft, Schnellders selects Michael Stanton" cue a standing ovation from the thousands present as Stanton casually strolls on to the stage wearing the flag of St.Andrews Cross
April 27, 201014 yr Author In. Also, I think we should ban Stanton from being picked. I say nay. He's a prospect, and as the best prospect on the Marlins, he should be in the draft (and most likely 1st overall).
April 27, 201014 yr I'm in! EDIT: Dim, would you be so kind as to message me when my turn is up for the draft? I might not be so remembering of this. D:
