I am all up for anything that is unique or creative but the initial presentation made the appearance that this post was more of an FYI rather than trying to obtain additional input and I think that is why mstrpr and a couple others were rubbed the wrong way (not that I would want to rub mstrpr in any way).
Yes, this idea was not brought up in a very good way at all

How many players are teams going to be able to protect?
According to the link provided, 15

Typically in expansion drafts once a team has a player selected, they can protect X amount of additional players. The reason that is done is so one team is not cherry picked and it forces the expansion teams to select talent from all the teams.
Again, according to the link provided, 1 player from each team is fair game for the first 15 rounds/selections, at which point the teams are able to select 3 new players to protect

Not that I saw in their link

35 players per expansion team

Don't see why we should force people to select players at certain positions. If they think they're better off filling 2b or their rotation in free agency, why shouldn't they get that choice?

Unless there was a recent change, expansion teams have the last 2 picks of each round of the ammy draft in their first season. I believe the order is determined by the team that got the first pick of the expansion draft got the last pick, and the other team got the next to last pick
