Since when does the drafts of Florida, Cincy, and Oakland have anything to do with bringing up the bottom teams? These are playoff contenders!
Like I said...I'll gladly advise every team struggling to turn things around on draft day. Hell, I'll do their drafts for them on behalf of the league. I raided my draft list for the Dodgers and would do it again for someone else if the league needed it. Those aren't the teams I'm taking issue with.
It is nothing more than laziness. If this same practice was done in trades or free agency we'd all ask "WTF?". But on draft day common sense seems to fly out the window. There is no excuse (apart from a posted two week absence at the start of the year) for there not to be a list. None.
If something impromptu happens - fine, I don't think anyone has an issue with this. But what Cdawg and others are demonstrating is that it is deliberate! By all means those of you that are right there with me on this...lay this on - I'm tired of being attacked for being selfish. Especially a year after I unselfishly did what I did in our most recent draft. So cut that bullshit out...please.
