Why don’t we compromise. We do the contraction draft but if it fucks the league up after a season we retire those players.
At this point I’d be fine with retiring his entire squad and killing his IFAs so they’ll regenerate.
NoAlright, because I'm bored in this meeting and need something to do I'll export the most recent data and pull the list of 100 players from both for us to make a pool out of for the draft. I'm with @NML to limit it to two or three rounds and either make the rest FAs or kill them. Lots of those guys on Wooly's AAA team could help a team out at the ML level but I'm not sure it makes sense to draft them given the other talent in both his and BA's system.
If you only do 2 rounds, it almost definitely won’t. That’s not enough talent to swing things significantly
We should be able to do 2 rounds before the HOF sim.
Still think we retire Bucky/Sinner doe. Then retire everyone left after.
Any objections to this?
2+ WAR: 17 on Fax, 5 on BA
Top 100 Prospects: 10 on Fax, 3 on BA
That’s 35 players, two rounds are 32. Some of those 2+ guys won’t get drafted because they have massive salaries. If you retire the two I mentioned, then it’s 33.
Gets basically every non-playoff team an all-star level player or a top tier prospect, plus another starting caliber player. End of the draft gets a starter plus a decent prospect.
I think it’s the best balance of not destroying a ton of players, not taking forever, and rebalancing the league a bit.
I'm this. I also think we should have simultaneous ML and minors/IFA drafts that are two rounds each. Why? It'll go quicker and it'll help lower teams even more. Plus we won't have a free for all once the rest hit FA.How about we go two rounds then re-evaluate the pool (and how much time it took us to finish two) and we can add another if needed from there?
Serious question (and the draft idea I have above limits this) but what is wrong with this? Teams that are fiscally responsible and win should be rewarded. We are rewarding the shitty teams with the best players during the draft so why shouldn't the teams who have won and saved their money have an advantage after the draft?They go to FA and either get signed by teams with a lot of cash or rot in the wilderness.
Actually @NML has the thread set up already. You two can handle it together. 2-3 hours a pick. PM and @ people. If they don’t respond, give them BPA other than OU.
Give me a bit and I’ll get the list. @Karl Hungus
I’ll agree to disagree, but OU used assets to get those players. We are just handing out these guys
If by used assets you mean fleeced the hell out of Orlando for Moustache and tanked for 10 seasons then sure
Well some of these teams have been bad for a decade tooYes exactly. He had to be bad for a decade to get a player of that caliber.
Why? The deal is within the rules.Maybe lop two years off the end of Bucky's contract?

No the reason he has all of those players is 95% about figuring out a way to hack devo in the game. Finances are probably 5%.Because finances spinning out of control are like half the reason Wooly has all these players. You are just redistributing who gets access to the 18-team IFA pool of the past 8 years to 4 top teams instead of 5.
Well some of these teams have been bad for a decade too
I'll strongly agree to strongly disagree with that splitNo the reason he has all of those players is 95% about figuring out a way to hack devo in the game. Finances are probably 5%.
I disagree with this. What big IFAs have they signed?Then they’ve also received ten top picks in the draft and space to sign big IFAs
Ur doubling down with this draft. Rad still gets #1 overall. And it’s not like someone outside of these two is bad, he’s still getting an all star

No but the advantages we give (and this draft especially) to shitty teams is brutal.Not everyone likes playing like you. This isn't a finance simulator to everyone.
