Start Date: Friday, February 24, 2023, 12:00 a.m. EST. The season begins Thursday, March 30. Keepers are locked at the end of February 17. Unclocked draft picks may be made once board is finalized.

Clock: 24 hours to make a pick. If you do not make the clock, you automatically receive the highest rated player on ESPN's default rankings, no matter the position. If you miss a second consecutive clock, you are automatically skipped until you check back in on the draft thread. YOU DO NOT GET TO MAKE UP ANY SKIPPED PICKS UNTIL THE END OF THE DRAFT.

If someone makes an invalid pick, the next pick is up. The person who made the invalid pick may re-select ASAP.

If a pick is traded while on the clock, the clock does not reset for the new owner of said pick.

Bishop-Corbitt Amendment: Players To Be Named Later are NOT permitted in any trade. All players must switch rosters immediately upon trade being official. Conditional PICKS, however, are permitted.

Capps Corollary: Cash may NOT be traded under any circumstances.

Minor League Keepers are listed at the bottom of this post. If it seems too good to be true that a young star is not yet drafted, check that list before making yourself look dumb.

Also, I listed the owners by first name for the most part, trying to stay away from Pun's House or other nicknames. The exceptions are Dallas (because we have Alan and Allen, and I'm the commissioner, so suck it), and Solly, who will always be Solly. The owners are:

Alan Capps--AA
Allen Clark--Dallas
Brian VanAlstyne--Dev, DevSop
Chad Aaron--Sharky
Fred Solomon--Solly
Irish Huddleston--Lou
Jennifer Solomon--The Better Solomon
Jim Enright--Army
Joe Troy--The Newest New Guy
John Coppinger--Metsradamus, Damas
Matt Bishop--Gimmick, Sparty
Mike Watson--TarHeel, Mikey

Moving Walker Buehler to season ending dl. Most likely for 2 years.

Congratulations everyone! I just confirmed that no one traded a pick they already traded. But my gawd, what a mess the 2023 draft board is going to look like.

And the draft is closed!

Rules are updated based on vote threads after the 2021 main draft.
