2012 Baseball Rookie Draft - Complete!

[Helghast Army]

This is where all picks will be made for the 2012 Baseball Rookie Draft. Draft order will be randomly determined once all managers have signed up on Yahoo and on Forum Ice. There will be 3 rounds, in a snake order (first rookie drafts will be, all other rookie draft after will be non-snaking draft order). With this being the first rookie draft with this league, when on the clock to make a pick a manager will have 12 hours to make a selection, but please check this site as often as possible when you may be on the clock, and we can make this a very fast process.

In the MLB rookie drafts, any player that has played in 0-9 MLB games are eligible to be drafted and added to your farm team. Any player that has played 10+ games are not eligible. If a non eligible player is selected, he will be removed from that selection and you will be back on the clock, as well any manager behind you.

Any questions, I will start general threads for Baseball, Hockey and Football. Please use those for any conversations, and we will keep this thread for the draft only!

Here are a list of top 100 prospects/players that will not be eligible in the rookie draft due to MLB games played.

- Mike Trout / LAA (19 games played)
- Jesus Montero / SEA (18 games played)
- Devin Mesoraco / CIN (18 games played)
- Arodys Vizcaino / ATL (17 games played)
- Anthony Rizzo / CHI (49 games played)
- Yonder Alonso / SD (47 games played)
- Nathan Eovaldi / LAD (10 games played)
- Ryan Lavarnway / BOS (17 games played)

I may have missed some, but this gives an idea that if they played 10 or more games in the MLB they can not be selected as a Rookie Player.
