Apparently, this league does not limit the use of match options to only the 1st round bids. That means that we can't start the Minor League draft until after all the 2nd round bids are in and any match options are determined. I didn't realize this was the case until a couple days ago, because I don't remember this ever happening.
What I'd like to propose is that we change the rule to only allow match options to be used in the 1st round. This would allow us to get the minors draft started about a week earlier each year and hopefully not have it run a few weeks into the season when people have the advantage of seeing how prospects are doing. If everyone is OK with putting this into place this year, we can get the minor's draft started soon. If there is anyone that doesn't agree with putting it in for this year, we can table it until next year.
So, I'll give everyone 48 hours to voice their opinion and if there is no dissent at that point, I'll put it into the rules and kick off the minors draft. Thanks.

Didn't realize we did it that way anyway. |

I don't have a problem with starting the minor draft after the first bidding round. (The same as it is in the GM League.)
That said, there are some owners who have match option players that were not part of the first bid round - a few examples are Nick Senzel, Justus Sheffield, Jordan Montgomery, and Dylan Cease.
Owners with outstanding match options might have an objection, but I'll let them speak for themselves.
In the past, we have had a few match options exercised during the second bid round.
You know that in the Backyards football league, we changed the match option rule to make the forfeited draft pick apply to next season's draft. It was a rule that was approved and voted in a couple of seasons ago. This allows the football rookie draft to start at any time because the draft order is unaffected by the current bid rounds.
Like I said at the beginning of this diatribe - I have no objection to this proposal.
It would be nice, and fairer, if we finished the minor league draft before the beginning of the regular season.

I didn't know it was that way either and I don't think it is right. I don't understand why you should have that option after the first bidding round. Hope we change it.

OK with matching 1st round only.
Loyalty is only used on 1st round bids

It's been a couple days and we have 7 managers in agreement and none opposed, so let's consider this a rule change. There will be no match options allowed in the 2nd round bids. Also, we can start on the minor league draft.

I know this is months late, but I incorporated this change into the rules today, with the modified language in bold.
