Diamond Mind Baseball 12 – tutorial – conducting a solo draft
Derek Bain
I created a tutorial to discuss how to conduct a solo draft in Diamond Mind Baseball 12. You can also execute drafts with multiple human participants using these methods – I elected the solo option with the computer general manager configured to draft the remaining teams for the sake of simplicity.
Here’s a rundown of the requirements:

optional, but recommended: Diamond Mind Baseball 12 – Season Disk(s)
Diamond Mind Baseball was developed by Tom Tippett (original title: Pursue the Pennant). The first edition was published for the IBM PC personal computer in 1987.
I divided the tutorial into two sections: the Draft (copying the All-Time Greats league, releasing players into the free agent pool, conducting the draft), Simulate Season (review manager profiles for each team, simulate an entire season, reviewing the final standings, league leaders and team-by-team rundown).

Part 1 – Draft
Part 2 – Manager Profiles, Simulate Season, Final Standings, Statistical Review
