I notice there was no draft today; after i read the news about the new draft i was wondering if anyone can give me the basics on when it starts and how it will be different from the old draft? Thank you.

Draft is 8 rounds instead of the old 10. Round 1 now happens after spring training has started.

As for the new draft ... *shrug*. Stay tuned. :)

If you see these events: Game Day Simulation [Amateur/Overseas]

Those are creating the statistics for the prospects.

I'm just wondering.

What is the benefit or going from a 10 round draft to an 8 round draft?

It is understandable that all of the best prospects will be gone in the earlier rounds and the late rounds will only produce prospects that aren't worth drafting. So why not stop the draft when all the top prospects are gone if thats the motivation of reducing the rounds.

However, the last couple of rounds does allow hope that you might get something. Cutting the draft from 10 to 8 would tend to give managers something less to look forward to even it the expectation of a good prospect no longer exists.

So with all of that said, what difference it we have 2 less rounds or we get poor prospects. Really not much difference other that removing some hope that low level poor teams might have...

It was discussed at (great) length and the decision was made, no point rehashing it now. Everyone is in the same boat.

Probably next Friday. Sims had to be run for prospects.
