I can't wait to start a fantasy draft!!! Does anyone know when 1st roster update will be? I want to have Puk, Kieboom, and lux, but if it's too far away then I may just do it with default rosters

I just sat down to start my fantasy draft franchise...

I'm gonna roll with the Mets (14th Overall Pick) mainly because they finally brought back the black throwbacks. Anyway, I'll be posting the results of my draft (MLB Roster / Prospects / Key Minor Leaguers) when all is said and done.

New York Mets - 2020 Opening Day

The draft is complete, and I must say I am loving the way this team is set up. I've got a couple of contracts (Will Meyers) that aren't the best, but overall I feel like I wound up with a nice blend of youth and veterans on this roster. We handed out some contract extensions during spring training as well:

3B M. Chapman - 5 years / 85.58 Mil
C M. Garver - 4 years / 20.58 Mil
CP M. Givens - 3 years / 12.63 Mil
3B D. Moore - 5 years / 17.70 Mil

J_smith - love the writeup! Nicely done. You've got a new follower

This brings me back to a website from way back in the day... I think it was caled Dynasty managers or something like that

anyway

I'm excited to see how this squad does, and excited to see how George Kirby develops

[Bm7414206]

I'm adjusting the default rosters before I start my fantasy draft. I've gone thru and adjusted positions but don't touch attributes. I've been redoing all the contracts so they actually make sense for the in game engine. Now I'm just adding the Audio to all the players I possibly can. So hopefully tomorrow I can start my draft, can't wait!!!!

[Bm7414206]

FINALLY STARTING MY FANTASY DRAFT!!!!! I'll post how it goes
