Would it? Run the contraction draft (with ML guys going to FA) same time as amateur draft. Contraction draft would probably be 3-4 rounds top. Randomizing would take a couple hours tops. Wouldn't slow anything really imo. Cool. |

Beltran kinda goes to fa either way I guess, so he doesn't matter

What's the reasoning behind keeping KC players in the AL and Houston players in the NL? Seems arbitrary for no good reason. Ease. That's not easy lol. I have to make two different threads, make sure everyone knows they can't take players from the other team, etc. |

Meh I wouldn't penalize people for being assigned good players. So if I was assigned Beltran and I had the decision to either take him or give up my 1st, regardless of the next three years, I'm not giving up a pick for a 30 yr old in the 1st year of a rebuild so he goes to FA and I get nothing? That penalizes bad teams even more so. But if you then trade Beltran you get more value than just a random first in the next three years no? Would you? Trading sucks right now. I don't think you get shit for Beltran on the open market. Certainly not top 10 draft pick material. |

Certainly not top 10 draft pick material. But your pick in say three years (I didn't mean you had to choose now, in the offseason you get to choose) , if after year two you pass, you forfeit automatically....or if it's random draft order you take somebody who has no cost |

I do like the idea of all players to draft.

I have two firsts in this draft and tons of salary space, but I'd rather not arbitrarily strengthen this draft after many deals being made with the projected strength in mind, and putting them in fa unfairly favors big market teams

If we do contract I like the idea of something simpler. HOU players are drafted by NL teams. KC players are drafted by NL teams. Two rounds. All other players go to FA. What's the reasoning behind keeping KC players in the AL and Houston players in the NL? Seems arbitrary for no good reason. idiot, he said both go to the NL |
