I really like the idea of trying the all time draft with the dice roll for which season you use. It's something we haven't done yet and I think it would be a lot of fun.Draft the all time best player. Give your top 6 years, 1-6. Roll a 6 sided dice and you get the corresponding year...GOLD!
This is an outstanding idea for a draft.
Rather than 25 individual rolls per team, which would turn three weeks of drafting into a game of Yahtzee, a better system would be to have each team sequence their players 1-25 in any order of their choosing. Player APlayer BPlayer C...Player YThen a single six sided roll would determine which season would be used for Player A; the number would increment for each successive player. Let's say you roll a three, you'd use the third best season from A, the fourth best from B and so on, ending with the fourth best season from player Y. We could use WIS salary as way of quantitatively ranking the seasons.This would provide more competitive balance because every team would have four or five "best" seasons and four or five sixth best. Sequencing the players before the roll would introduce another element of pseudo-strategic mumbo jumbo, particularly for players with a short stack of quality years.For the record, I still prefer a straight-up, short era draft. But if people want games of chance, I'll play along.
