Retaining players rights

Sharpie · 10-04-2016, 12:24 PM

With the June Amateur draft, is it possible to set up a fictional league similar to what the NHL does? Say you draft a kid out of high school, you retain his rights for 3 years while he is at college unless you decide to sign him before?

Second question, where to you check to see that the high school feeder league is also feeding into the college feeder league?

Thanks for any tips in advance.

not that i know of nor can i think of a workaround to do that.

and i don't know about the 2nd one. never set one up... search these forums - i'd use google to do it. try different phrases and words that describe it. dont' stop after one search. i know there are some thorough posts about feeders and setting them up, and i've never even read them (which is why i can't point for you).

As of now, the game does not mimic real life 100%. This is directly from the manual (hopefully it helps answer your question):

Each feeder league can feed players into only one league, and you cannot have a 'daisy chain' of feeder leagues. That is, you can't have a high school league that feeds into a college league that feeds into a professional league.

There are two types of feeder leagues: college and high school. These two types behave identically. The names, like league levels, are mainly just for categorization.

Important: Feeder leagues are not meant to simulate real-world college and high school baseball. There is no early entry into the draft, recruiting, redshirting, or similar staples of college and high school baseball.

Players in a feeder league will appear in the first-year player draft pool of the major league once they are no longer eligible for their feeder league. Your first-year player draft will also be supplemented with enough fictional players to fill out the draft, if necessary. High school players who are not drafted may continue on to college, or may become free agents. College players who are not drafted may become free agents.
