Other draft kits have outdated information. For example, in Spring Training 2007, Kerry Wood was officially relegated to the bull pen and Keith Foulke retired. Those are just two of the changes that occured in February, and pitchers and catchers just reported to spring training 2 days ago.
Only Bruno's gives you the tools for the most up-to-date draft board in the business. And it is free to all of our customers. Now, we have 2 ways for you to ensure the most accurate player pool:
Order a draft kit, and make changes right before your draft. See the changes made since initial printing. Even if a couple transactions are missed, you're going to have the most up to date draft kit on the market because everyone else prints them in January. By the time April rolls around, 10% of the original player pool will have changed.
Upgrade the Commissioner's Dream draft kit to updated players for just $3. The player pool for this kit is updated weekly. Accordingly, nearly all of the transactions you see below are accounted for in your kit.
The update sheet is easy to use. Follow these steps:
Buy a draft board from Bruno's
Wait for it to arrive
Just before your draft, come to this page and print the update sheet
Dedicate the 5 minutes necessary to ensure an accurate player pool. If our sheet says a guy's been cut, cross him off or throw him away. We'll also publish some adds and trades too. Use it however you want, but this will give you an advantage that noone else gives you.
