feeder leagues question

boshk · 08-14-2016, 08:16 PM

has anyone ever tried to feed their high school teams into college through a college draft. then not set an age max for the college level, so that if you have the mlb draft after the college draft, they can still draft those players from high school? since there is not a way, it seems, to have high school players feed both college and MLB, i was thinking that this might be a way to pull that off.

you have to explain some things. do you mean to have one high school feeder league and 1 college feeder league? If you do that then the MLB will draft from both HS and college but if the HS players aren't drafted they may show up in the college team but it's not a guarantee. For feeders you can't have a draft if they are directly affiliated. You'ld have to have independent feeders to have a draft. So again it really depends on what exactly you want. There are a few options but none of them are 100% perfect.

You could set up 2 "hs" leagues and 1 college league. These would have to be set as independent leagues.

1 hs league could feed into the college while the other feeds to mlb. That would be the only way to get a draft.

I manually move all the HS seniors that don't get drafted to a college team.

ya, this is what i was looking to avoid having to do. i did this with my feeders when i last played in, i think, ootp 2012.

ideally, HS players not drafted into major league level would then go to college level. but since the game does not work that way--unless i spose if you have your college level able to sign FA, but then that opens up a whole can of worms with players having long careers in college--i was looking for some sort of 'work around' so that players would go to college if they were not good enough to play minor league ball yet.
