I will use this as a parking lot for any changes we decide on for the next season:
1) Allow for released major- and minor-league players to be added during FA draft at their current contract and remove pre-season waiver round. - this was agreed upon by 7 of 12 so far
2) Changes regarding match option rules/minor league draft (see post below)

I'd like to discuss changes to the process that will allow us to accelerate the minor league draft. As this draft carries over into the season, it allows teams with open minor league slots to see what rookies are actually getting playing time and gives them an advantage in terms of picking up players that wouldn't likely be on our radar before the season starts. The main change would be to move the compensation for match options from the current year into the next year, so we'd be able to start the minor league draft right away. We instituted this rule in our football league and I think it would save us at least a week. The other smaller change would be to change the clock from 24 hours between picks to something in the 12-18 hour range. Most of the picks were made well within the 24 hour time frame, but when someone isn't able to pick within that window, it slows things down a lot. This would probably only save a couple days overall, but it should help. Finally, I'd like to put in a rule that caps the number of minor league picks any team can make at 12 (the number of minor league slots we have), since we could theoretically keep picking up $0 salary players and moving them to our active rosters to open minor league slots. One idea would be to change the rule and not allow players drafted in the current year to be promoted until after the conclusion of the minors draft. Let me know what you think about these changes either individually or collectively. Thanks.

I like being able to promote immediately and think it rewards good picks. I don't have a problem with the match options giving picks the next season like with Football. That should speed it up enough. Doubt I could make more than 12 picks but against a limit. No problem if any are shrewd enough to make as many picks as they want.

I agree with limiting the draft to the number of slots (12). I'm ok with moving the match options to next year.

I’m ok with all of that except not allowing for immediate promotion.

Have we ever had 12 rounds before?
Doubt that rule will ever be needed.
Not a fan of rules recently with all the new MLB rules.

There's a history on the message board back to 2007 and we've never gone beyond 10 rounds. We only did that twice and one those had all 3 remaining teams passing in the 10th round. |

The main thing I'd like to accomplish is to get the minor league draft wrapped up before the season starts, so I'm good with whatever we can do to get there.

I think the main thing we need to do is start sooner. Having 1st round bids due 3/15 only left about 2 weeks to get the 1st and 2nd rounds and the 2 drafts done. Obviously this doesn't work. We need to start at least 7-10 days sooner. |

I agree that starting sooner will help, but I think there are a few different things we can do that will also help speed things up. One thing I’m going to ask for now is for someone else to take over as commissioner. With the message boards, it’s difficult to stay on top of everything in both leagues at the same time and I’m ready for a break. Let me know if someone is willing to take over now that the majority of the setup for this season is done and I can help with the transition. Thanks.

I can take over the day to day postings in this league. You just need to give me the admin rights. I think I still have admin rights in the other league so I can help there too if you want me to. |

Thanks Dave! That would be great! For some reason, I don't have the ability to add administrators to the group. Can anyone else do that? |

Dave - you should have admin functions now. Test it and see.

Im good with the changes minus the not being able to start right away.
Beast used to try to abuse the rookie roster years back. Dean had a rule for this but i really cant remember what it was.
