So I'm wondering ...
1) if these same 775 players will be available in the OTTP 1977 draft (held DEC 15)?
2) if draft is 25 rounds (400 players if all 26 teams draft someone each round), will the 125 historical players not drafted become available as free agents?
3) If draft is, say 50 rounds (800 players) will computer generate an additional 25 players to complete the draft or will draft end once 775th player is selected? |
Because I don't mix in minor leaguers, I'm not able to answer most of this. However I can tell you that the draft will end once the last player in the draft pool is selected regardless of where in the draft you are.
