		In both types of drafts, you set your draft lists and salary caps in advance and the actual draft is conducted overnight with the results viewable the next morning.
		Your draft results in each round will depend on the player rankings you set on your draft lists, the salary caps you set for each position, and the decisions made by other managers in your league.
		On the day leading up to the first draft round, which will occur overnight and not within your sight, managers can adjust scouting lists and salary caps for all player positions and are reminded to commit their final starting pitchers decisions before curfew.

	Draft (sports) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Draft order in the NFL is determined in a reverse-record order (the previous season's worst team picking first, the Super Bowl winner picking last).
		The draft is held in November, with a pre-season draft in December.
		Other related forms of drafts are the expansion draft, in which a new team is allowed to pick a certain number of players from those of teams already in the league, and the dispersal draft, in which players contracted to a now-defunct team are allocated among the remaining ones.

	Major League Baseball Amateur Draft - BR Bullpen
		The Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, officially known as the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Rule 4 Draft, or as the MLB Draft, is held every year in June by conference call among the 30 Major League clubs.
		The most notable example of this phenomenon is Mike Piazza, who was drafted in the 62nd round (1390th pick) of the 1988 draft.
		A player who is drafted and does not sign with the club that selected him may be drafted again at a future year's draft, so long as the player is eligible for that year's draft.

		Baseball should take pages from the NFL and NBA and make two fundamental changes to its draft: include international players; and allow for the trading of draft picks before and during the draft.
		While the NFL and NBA drafts focus on what players are needed by their teams, and what maneuvers might be made to ensure that they get their draft-board favorites, baseball's draft most often revolves around meeting a draft pick's asking price.
		Baseball teams should be able to wheel and deal up to and during the draft.

	MLB Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baseball draft picks cannot be traded; however, if a first- or second-round draft pick signs with a different team as a free agent, and the former team had offered the player arbitration, then the player's former team is entitled to a draft pick during the "sandwich round" of next year's draft.
		Of the major sports drafts in North America, (i.e., professional basketball, baseball, football and hockey), the MLB Draft is the least followed by fans.
		Also of note is that of the four major sports, baseball's draft is the only one which occurs during the season; football, basketball, and hockey all hold their drafts during their respective offseasons.

	Baseball Examiner -- 2005 June Draft Preview
		The 2004 draft still feels the Boras effect as Stephen Drew and Jered Weaver both remain unsigned.
		Weaver and Drew would have likely both been top five selections in last year's draft, and perhaps even the top two picks, but they slid to 12th and 15th overall, respectively, because of what teams viewed as unreasonable contract demands.
		St. John's closer Craig Hansen is expected to be the first of this draft class to reach the major leagues, following the similar path of Ryan Wagner of the Reds and the Nationals' Chad Cordero, who were first round selections in the 2003 draft and make their big league debut before the summer passed.
