I am trying something new with OOTP 2017 and starting my own franchise. After much consideration we will be named the Newport Narwhals. With the expansion draft we will be going off of these rules.

23 protected players per team
Auto protected players with less than 3 years of service
limit of picks from single team: No limit

With these rules it will allow the expansion draft to have a couple decent players with the pool slowly dying pick after pick. This will test myself as a manager to make the best moves for the future.

Here are the draft results:

SP:
Hector Santiago
Jacob Barnes
Paul Blackburn
Zach Davies
Robbie Elrin
Josh Hader
Zach Lee
Keyvius Sampson
Ross Stripling
Chase Whitley

RP:
Dan Jennings
Neil Ramirez
Chasen Shreve
Steven Okert
Sammy Solis
Daniel Winkler
Matt Purke

C:
Jorge Alfaro
Blake Swihart
Tony Wolters

1B:
Ji-man Choi

2B:
Jose Peraza
Scooter Gennett
Alen Hanson

3B:
Richie Shaffer
Brandon Drury

SS:
Jonathan Villar
Jorge Polanco

OF:
Ben Gamel
Tyrone Taylor
Oswaldo Arcia
Tyler Goeddel
Andrew Aplin
Brandon Nimmo
Lonnie Chisenhall

As you can see the roster has a little bit of everything. Tried to mix it up between players who can contribute right away on the MLB roster and also tried to build a minor league team.

Next step - Free Agents

Also... If you have any players you want to see the Narwhals go after, or have any suggestions about who to play where, where to bat certain players, etc... Please let me know. I want as much participation as possible!
