2069 Contraction Draft
- Thread starter NML
- Start date
doh
THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
What if we had teams rank their top 20 players they want then do an off-line draft waivers style draft? You just go team by team in reverse order of how they finished last year. So you could print out each teams top 20 then offline cycle through each paper in order to the top ranked player left for each team (crossing out players off the board). I'd even do this.
Each team ends up with a max of 5 or 6.
My problem with this board draft is just how long it'll take. This would take a night and giving teams a week to make the lists would be fair.

We'll never finish at this rate

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.

I dont think the "fucking up of the league" they are talking about is something that will be noticed after just 1 season

Two rounds won't get us through the minors, plus it's not just the Fax guys. We have the BA players out there as well. What happens to everyone not drafted after two rounds? They go to FA and either get signed by teams with a lot of cash or rot in the wilderness. If we're doing this, we should do it right even if it delays moving to next season by a few days.

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 leery of just going off top 100. There are a lot of actual prospects not on that list and a bunch of AAAA guys who are.

Alright, 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.

I already drafted Sinner and you'll have to pry him from my cold dead hands

Three rounds is probably good to clear the useful parts out of both systems.
doh
THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
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.
Other things:
-- All the undrafted ML players with contracts go to waivers and if they clear waivers then FA to help out worse teams.
-- All minor league players automatically FAs once the draft ends.
-- Anyone who was going to be a FA in 2069 can't be drafted.
doh
THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
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?
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

Yeah am around too
I definitely think Sinner should be retired, Bucky too.
These are the two best players in the game on super team friendly deals. I don’t think they need to be handed out.

Are we just using this thread for picks? Or should we get another one going for drafting only?

I’ll agree to disagree, but OU used assets to get those players. We are just handing out these guys

Yes exactly. He had to be bad for a decade to get a player of that caliber.
Karl Hungus

Maybe lop two years off the end of Bucky's contract?
Why? The deal is within the rules.
Karl Hungus

Mostly because I don't trust that Bucky (or any of these guys, really) truly had max loyalty and no greed when he came into the game.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
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%.

Well some of these teams have been bad for a decade too
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

My point is they got the same benefits of tanking that OU (or anyone else) did. That they get an extra player in this draft is a bonus. Why does it need to be one the best players we’ve ever seen?

No but the advantages we give (and this draft especially) to shitty teams is brutal.

Outside of this weird draft I'm not sure what advantages you are referring to.
