Rookie MLB Draft CHAT

1954 - 1978?

So we still havent decided on what we are doing in this one.

I like the idea of just drafting 25 players from a certain 25 year period.

How about my second suggestion: I think it would be much easier than the other one

each team must draft 25 consecutive years, but use a year window of 60 years...

So lets say we do 1940-2000 so no team can end their consecutive year stretch after 2000, and nobody can start it before 1940...

And Rookie year is represented...

Problem with us all using the same 25 years is that the pool will shrink too quickly IMO... I think this way creates the most strategy possible...

If you want to shrink the draft and draft the teams to finish the draft that would be cool, but we would need to shrink the window too...

8 players per year? I think we'd be okay. If we do everyone picks a 25 year period between 1940 - 2000 I guess thats ok but I think they should announce their years when they make their 1st pick

I'm with Nos on eliminating superteams across the board, how about this.....24 man roster, $120 Million cap
Any player, any year

1st Ballot HOF-$20 million
Non 1st Ballot HOF-$16 million
Non HOF, MVP/Cy Young-$12 million
10 or more AS-$10 million
5-9X AS- $6 million
1-5X AS- $4 million
All others-$2 million

Or do it like this

BR WAR/10(rounded to nearest whole number) + 10 if the player made the HOF + 2 For every MVP/CY the player ever won.

25 Man Roster 300

Years( Must be retired by 2009)

Would be a fun experiment to see how much we actually like WAR...

For the first time ever I actually started a list with players rookie seasons...

Actually 300 is way too low... Make it 400

Why must all your ideas require an hour just to try to understand them?

I already started drafting... Not sure where you guys have been....

New idea...
25 man draft

we do a 10 round snake draft of all HOF and WAR over 100 players using BR WAR/10 + 2 per every MVP/CY

then we do an 11 round NON snake draft of Non HOF and nobody with a WAR over 100

order is based on who has the lowest points from the HOF draft

Lowest goes first in every round of the NON HOF draft
Highest goes last in every round of the NON HOF draft

in the 11 round draft one of your picks has to be a MLB baseball franchise, and after the draft is done you can finish your team with any NON HOF player that played for 5+ seasons for that team...

You may change those 5 players in every round when we do the voting...

Player must have retired before the 2015 season...

My only problem with this is that at the end, it's simply gonna be whoever has the highest war wins. Takes the subjective part out, which is a lot of the fun of it
