Recently, I was able to successfully run a hockey league based on the draft and thought we'd try it out for MLB. I don't think this theme has been done before so it should produce some lesser-known players.

Select an exclusive year and comprise your team solely from players selected in the June Amateur Draft. We won't be using the secondary drafts.

In keeping with the spirit of the theme the #1 overall draft pick must be on your roster assuming they have a season in the database.

League rules:

• $110 million cap
• Twist players to any season.
• NO: DH, AAA, Clones, injuries, trades, or WW
• Select any stadium active in your year
• 24 team league with standard playoff format

1999

I am in with 1984

I'd give this a try with 2010

Thanks for joining kg everyone! I will wait to pick my team when we are a little over half full.

I will try 2005 ,,in honor of one of the highest picks of University of Nebraska. #2 Alex Gordon and almost a Mister Irrelevant with pick #1496 Buster Posey

I'm going to give 89 a shot...

I'm leaning towards 1995. It's a little top-heavy lineup but a stellar bullpen!

Count me in for '85, Ben. Arguably the best draft ever. John Smoltz went in the 22nd round, 574 overall!

I'll take 2007

I'll take a team just because it's Ben's

1982

I’ll try with 1967

Ben
I will put together something from 1971

Great to see some older years being used. As usual, I will align divisions by year with regard to possible owners with two teams and being sure to place them in separate divisions.
