Just wanted to officially put out an expansion draft primer so that we're all on board early with the process. Trevor ( WhiteSoxGM) will be taking over the Chicago White Sox and Kevin ( OldTwinsGM) the Minnesota Twins. Starting with this ammy draft, they will get the 19th and 20th picks in the first three rounds of the draft. The expansion draft process will mirror the rules in real life: - Players drafted in the past 3 drafts are ineligible - Teams will protect 15 players initially - There will be 3 rounds of 18 picks - the expansion teams will select one player from each current team each round - After each round, teams will protect an additional 3 players Once the expansion draft is over, the two teams will have a total of 30 players entering the free agency period. They will also have the #1-2 picks in the next ammy draft.

I honestly hate these expansion drafts. They penalize contenders for doing what all GMs are supposed to do, but inactive or inattentive GMs don't. Commish, is there any way you can just build their roster to a reasonable level and we press on?

Good to be back, ya'll. Thanks!
Quick clarification, am I correct in assuming that when we draft another team's player we inherit the contract both in terms of years and salary?

Haha yup. Almost there!
I'll work on a player protection tool and an expansion draft tool over the next few days.

You can now start playing around with the player protection tool for the expansion draft once logged in.
Basically it filters out any player drafted in the last 3 draft and then auto ranks your players based on the games "stars" system (which of course overvalues relief pitching). This was just to get it started, you can then tweak it to your liking.
As of now, there's no deadline, but look for that to be sometime next week.
Edit: I'll need to add a button to more quickly remove players who are auto-protected.. because I just realized it would be a pain to remove a guy who was auto-ranked like #5 haha

I'll wait. It's taking forever to get Ben Weber out of protected status. LOL.

lol I put all that work into setting it up and when I went to do my own, I was like damnit I don't want to click 14 times to get a reliever out of there
At any rate, the red "delete" button will move that player down to the #24 slot
