Draft File

[mattynokes]

I can say from XAT conversations that my concerns are almost universally shared:

1) This idea is a lot of hassle
2) Doesn't fix anything broken
3) Doesn't add anything fun

Not sure why we'd want this.

What about a World Baseball Classic? Or you run an FCM fantasy league? Or you do files in the offseason with divisional all-star teams in a tournament?

I'd like the angle to be more along the lines of something entertaining that adds to the league's cool factor rather than something nuts and bolts like this.

Andy pretty much asked the questions everyone else did, so I'll respond here.

1) If it's any hassle, it's all on my part, not the league's. I would just need time to enter in the 5-10 signability players.

2) Utility players was a topic for suggestion and this could be a way to infuse some true utility players into the league.

3) I would think following the development of amateurs over the seasons until they're draft eligible would be exciting. You could be looking at a Junior in High School that is tearing the cover off the ball, can play SS and CF, and knowing in one year he could yours would be pretty cool.

Like I've said from the opening post, if the league doesn't want it, that's fine. But it's not fair to say that this would be complicated, a nightmare, etc.. since it would require the GMs of the league about 0 effort.

If you don't want to follow the draft file, that's fine. You're not out on any information on the players as it'll all be presented in the draft classes like it already stands. The list of signability players would be posted with the draft class off-season file and could be posted throughout the message board (it certainly would be posted with the Sim 4 file). As well as I could re-name the last name of the player to "Smith *Signability Player*" so that when scouting for the draft it's obvious that something is different out that player.
