They were a big enough deal they probably should have had their own thread instead of getting buried. What the screen shots showed/what we know: - players on your list will show current skills including potential - there is some uncertainty in the potential; potential levels may change - players will have amateur stats that you can view before choosing - along with the traditional pools, you will now be able to select by position - draft will continue to be 8 rounds long; round 1 does not occur with season flip, but happens after the first week of spring training games - there hasn't been any discussion of changing the size of draft lists; I think it is a fair assumption it will continue to be a list of 10 to choose from
