I'm surprised he made it out of the first round.
I was targeting him but he's so youngI'm surprised he made it out of the first round.
I'm usually in the more drafts=more fun camp but I think combining them increases the strategic element a little for teams inside their window. Poach pieces to compete now or build for 2-4 years down the road.I said it to Eephus, but we should do rookie draft and dispersal drafts separate next year.
Yeah, that's an issue for the really young players since it'll require multiple years of mini-draft protection.I was targeting him but he's so young
4 or 5 rounds then.I'm usually in the more drafts=more fun camp but I think combining them increases the strategic element a little for teams inside their window. Poach pieces to compete now or build for 2-4 years down the road.
We have all year to hash this out.
He was protected until the very last minute . I bet he’s too 10 at midseeason prospect lists. This is a real kick in the nuts. If we could take our own players I would’ve grabbed him with my 1st

You can pick your own players. I'm pretty sure this question came up last year.He was protected until the very last minute . I bet he’s too 10 at midseeason prospect lists. This is a real kick in the nuts. If we could take our own players I would’ve grabbed him with my 1st
Now ?Where is that google link. May have to look and see who's not protected now.
Check OPWhere is that google link. May have to look and see who's not protected now.
:whoosh:You can pick your own players. I'm pretty sure this question came up last year.
Fourteen picks, 8 poached, 6 Free Agents. Seven of the poached from top four teams, so the competitive balance thing seems to be working
Get some new schtick for next yearThat's 5 unprotected players taken from the top 2 teams, seems like competitive balance to me
from to to who knows what next yearGet some new schtick for next year
I expected to lose Keuchel and possibly Stripling. Lucky me, the staff that imploded down the stretch and cost me the title returns intact.Sparty has had three players picked so his unprotected SPs are off the board.
I was looking at Keuchel but I lack top tier prospects and my aging roster probably doesn't have the horses to compete this year.
Yeah, I like the strategic aspect of it. I think maybe next year, now that we've seen how it's playing out there is a greater likelihood of trading and maneuvering before the draft. Maybe even worth having a designated pre-draft trading window, since the comp balance picks aren't eligible to be traded in season?I'm usually in the more drafts=more fun camp but I think combining them increases the strategic element a little for teams inside their window.

I maybe should have taken Keuchel myself, but catcher was an unbelievable disaster last season for me.I expected to lose Keuchel and possibly Stripling. Lucky me, the staff that imploded down the stretch and cost me the title returns intact.
I was also considering this angle. Best I had though was Yusei... I Only Hear What I Want To. Yours is better.Plus I can change my team name to Yusei He's Just a Friend or something now.
A similar question came up earlier via PM. I don't think it would be good to allow trading of future competitive balance picks because of (a) the bookkeeping and (b) the risk of somebody bailing and leaving the next owner without assets for the rebuild.Yeah, I like the strategic aspect of it.

I was gonna take Posey there, but Miggy is fine. I have some obp issues so he fits.
They aren't changes as much as clarifications. The draft is four rounds no matter what Pik thinks.I don’t feel strongly about the rules changes and you guys keep making this format awesome, so I trust you.
We trust you, pick or quit.I have acquired pick 2.10 from @shady inc in exchange for Charlie Morton. I'll let Shady confirm before announcing the pick.
What?!?! no we didn't make that trade!?!?!?I have acquired pick 2.10 from @shady inc in exchange for Charlie Morton. I'll let Shady confirm before announcing the pick.
