If you think we need to discuss any changes this is the place and time.
If a current rule is unclear and we need to clarify it, again this is the time and place.

I know that the 1TC league, draft picks cannot be traded. I did not like that rule at first, but now see the reasoning. Have we ever considered allowing the trading of 2nd & 3rd round picks, but not the first round selection? This way, franchises would have a quality pick in the minors, each year.

I don't know that I would want to say you can't trade 1st but you can trade 2nd and 3rd Rd. Seems like an all or nothing deal. Plus at this point I assume several teams have already dealt away future 1st Rounders. But I am also open to seeing what others have to say as well.

I like having the ability to trade draft picks, and in fact would still like us to add additional draft pick compensation when teams are raided in our FYPD. For example, any team that loses more then 3 players in the FYPD could receive additional Dispersal draft picks as compensation.
I had 1 season where 7 guys were taken in the FYPD and several where 4 were taken, when that happens repeatedly, it takes a large toll on the franchise minor league system. That’s part of the deal I guess, but balancing it out with compensatory supplemental picks could be a nice way to keep everyone’s systems stocked.

Its never been done in any league I am in. Esp with you able to acq more picks already via trade.

I’m sure there would need to be league consensus to make a change like this, but I wouldn’t dismiss the idea just because you’ve never seen a league do it before. As far as the ability to acquire draft picks by trade, that sort of defeats the purpose. I’m suggesting some teams get drained more than others via our FYPD, the solution isn’t to be forced into giving up assets to rectify the issue.
Its just an idea, but it’s based on keeping each team well stocked and on somewhat of an even playing field so that our franchises don’t become too unattractive to new owners.

Since 2014 I have lost 18 guys while drafting 18. I think it balances out over time fairly well. Clearly I havent checked every team but that is based off my team where I have not had any extra picks via trades just the standard 3 per year.
I just don't like the idea of comp picks but I am just one person too.

The dispersal draft player pool is already pretty thin. Not sure the comp picks would be that valuable and they would thin it out even more

That said I am not a compensation draft pick either, but we need to save the minors one way or another.

I think that a team that has more than 4 drafted players taken, should receive 1 additional dispersal draft player, and that pick should be the 1st pick. This said, I cannot believe that this would involve more than one team. If there happened to be two, then they would go 1-2, based on their draft position. We would know ahead of time, so a proper draft order could be posted. It is a kick to the crotch when you lose more than four. I agree with San Fran., that the dispersal draft is weak, but this would be fair.

I can understand your point of view. My thoughts are that free agency is crazy difficult for most teams. We rely on the drafted players. If you lose your first five picks, it is difficult to feel like the draft was fair. The alternative would be limit a team's loss to four, then lock that team (no more picks can come from that franchise). Just some random thoughts for discussion. I can easily live with the rule, as is.

I’m not opposed to the idea that a team’s system gets locked after 4 players are chosen. Makes the draft a bit more complicated, and therefore would favor compensatory picks instead, but both options are better than our current system in my opinion

I would like to propose that we create a 1 round international draft - I believe that the current system of a team getting their MLB team's international signings doesn't promote GM skill but rather luck based on how active or effective your actual MLB team is in international signings and scoutings. I appreciate that this involves extra work by owners but I think the more opportunities for owners to be engaged in the management of their teams, the more fun it is for owners and thus the more engaged owners will be.
A one round draft would be a nice balance between not requiring too much of owners, creating additional trading capital and still preserving the current system of the bulk of your club's signings probably going to the home team anyway.
Thank you for consideration
Eric - Tigers

Thank you for consideration Eric - Tigers I appreciate the suggestion but I just don't see us adding a 3rd Draft to the league. This would also delude the DD further.
