Where do I view the draft picks I just selected?

[countryboy]

I just completed the draft in June but for the life of me I cannot find where my draft picks are so that I can sign them.

Thank you in advance.

Nevermind I found it. Its under the acquisitions tab. I didn't sim the end of day of the draft.

After I signed my picks, how do I use those players in my roster? I mean putting them in AA.
I have a couple of A potential players (ready for MLB in the next year, as per the draft info page) and they need to play AA and maybe AAA until the year is out.
I signed every one of them a one year deal, but they are not on my roster. I can still find them in the acquisitions tab, but nowhere else.
What am I missing?

Unfortunately, you're not missing anything. As far as I can tell there's no way to play with your draft picks until the next season begins.

Yeah, the fact that you have to wait until you've simmed to the next day messed me up as well. I was confused.

They unfortunately don't get added to your roster until after the season. Once the regular season ends and you select "Advance to Offseason" and finish viewing the retired players, HOFers, etc. they'll be on your roster

One of my wishes for this game is that our picks enter our organizations right after we sign them (and maybe make the signing process more than just a "file the paperwork" formality).

I just think about the months of possible development time missing, especially for guys who might contend for roster spots the next spring.

You make a good point, however on the other side of it, there are draft picks in the game who can step in and play a big role in the majors as soon as the game allows them on your roster. That almost never happens in real life. From a realism perspective, I think that they do it the way that they do for that reason. What else would stop both user and CPU teams from drafting a guy in early June and having him be a big part of the MLB team the rest of the season?

Younger prospects that are more raw but develop more quickly (with the chance for slow or very rapid development and influenced by production).

That way most kids will need at least some time, but then you might get the Bryce Harper types that are ready at 18-20 (and there seems to be at least some that debut at 18-20 http://www.baseball-reference.com/le..._leagues.shtml).

If they keep the system as it, the prospects need to come in much less raw or develop much more quickly when they do enter your system. I mean when you get a kid that's 40/B...he's not coming in later in that year. Likewise with kids with 10-12 yr ETAs...

Plus, I think realism or adherence to it falls on the user as well. The game shouldn't make a statement on that other than to utilize realistic player development curves. If those are realistic, then it takes care of itself.

There's nothing realistic about prospects being "in limbo" and not anywhere at all in the system after they sign their contracts.
