The Minor League draft will begin on Tuesday, April 1 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time.

Teams will have 12 hours to make picks.

Minor League rosters will be considered 'frozen' as of 5pm Eastern Daylight Time on Monday, March 31st. That means that if you promote a player from your mL roster to your active ML roster after that time, you will not receive an extra pick in the mL draft.

I will include a list of players on rosters who have mL eligibility so that they are not accidentally picked.

A few questions:

1. Do I have first pick?

2. Assuming my mL'r doesn't meet the innings and at-bat requirements this year, how long do I get to keep them?

3. If I graduate the mL'r to majors, what is his salary?

4. What is the innings and at-bat requirement to lose mL status?

I know who I want already

One day until the draft ;) Questions: What's the draft order? Do we get a list of eligible players? Do we get a list of players on other team's rosters? Or both? :D

If I can see the list today, I'll make my selection today and make it easier on person picking #2. I have 2 players in mind. I'm torn between them.

Eligible players are anyone who has not yet accumulated 130 AB or 50 IP.

I will try to post a list of taken eligible players, though a search of the sportsline system will show you if someone is already taken.

Since there are 25 players that you just listed, and each team gets to own 3 players - if my math serves me correctly that would mean that only 8 players are going to get picked tomorrow?

Not really. I own 5 of the guys on that list, with 3 of them being on my active roster right now.

Each team gets 4 mL players.

Plus some are on ML rosters, such as Ellsbury, Chamberlain, Kennedy...
