2015 Twins Adopt-A-Prospect (Starts 9am CT Thursday)

Here are the Rules of Adopt-A-Prospect 2015:

(Note, the actual player adoption will be conducted in another thread, "SIGN UP FOR ADOPT A PROSPECT 2015", which will be located in this "Adopt a Prospect 2015" Forum.)

Rules of Adopt-A-Prospect 2015:

1) Each Twins prospect can only be adopted once. It will be first-come, first-serve in a new thread here that will be opened at 9:00 a.m. CST on Thursday morning. On Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. CST, Twins Daily readers can “adopt” a second prospect.

2) Once you have confirmed that you have that player, you can post a thread. The title of the thread you start should just be that player's name, hyphen - 2015 (example - Miguel Sano - 2015). The first post must be an introduction of the player. The format of the post is up to the individual, but please be sure to get all the important information needed on the player. For example, Name, Position, Handedness, Drafted/Signed/Acquired (out of where/what round), Previous Stats, etc. Feel free to make it as detailed as you want and feel free to find video. (There are a lot of websites you could link to such as their Baseball-Reference, The Baseball Cube, First Inning, Fan Graphs, MiLB.com, affiliate’s websites, etc.)

3) After the initial post (and throughout the season), you MUST update the thread AT LEAST once every other week. If you fail to do this, the prospect can be taken away from you. [if a player is inactive due to injury or suspension, this requirement is waived.]

If you would like to update more often, we certainly encourage that. Updates should, at least, include year-to-date numbers for the player. The more information given, however, the better. Brag up your prospect!

4) Do internet searches of your player to find newspaper articles from their hometown paper, or YouTube video or anything else you can find.

5) Any major event (i.e. promotion/demotion/trade/perfect game/multi- hit or HRs in a game...) must be reflected in the thread within a day of the event. Failure to update for this purpose may result in losing your adoptee.

6) If a player is placed on the 25-man roster, this is wonderful news and you can continue that player’s thread. Reward for your player getting to the big leagues is that you can adopt another prospect at that point. Even if the first player is eventually sent back to the minor leagues, you can maintain both prospect threads.

7) All other rules which are enforced on the main board will be enforced here.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here.
