MLB All-Time Draft? - CHI CITY SPORTS l #1 Chicago Sports Fan Message Board

dabynsky · 08-11-2011, 01:08 PM

The NHL draft was cancelled and unlikely to ever have enough interest to really be worthwhile doing. And I am not a big basketball guy, which is why I stayed out of the NBA redrafts. How many people would be interested in doing a baseball redraft? I like the all-time angle, but really just curious to see if there would be interest in doing a draft like this.

I'd be down.

Do we draft players based on a single season (like Dwight Gooden's 1985 season), or do we draft players based on their entire career?

dabynsky · 08-11-2011, 01:55 PM

My thought was more single season or peak. But that would be something to decide before we actually did this. I was mostly just seeing who ould be interested. If we get enough interest we can iron out the rules.

I am so down for this. And I agree we can iron out the rules later. But how many teams? Unlike the other sports, baseball has a MASSIVE history. If you had 50 teams (yeah right) it wouldn't be an issue at all.

I guess...

dabynsky · 08-11-2011, 02:29 PM

I think we can have as many as people are interested. If there is only 5 or 6 of us it wouldn't be terribly interesting. I was also going to propose instead of voting using a program like baseball mogul or ootp to decide the outcome but we can talk about rules later.

**X-Factor** · 08-11-2011, 03:28 PM

I'd be interested...but in order to avoid debates like the ones we're having in the NBA redraft, I would draft players and use a single season in the last 8 years or so...Either than, or Everybody gets a known steroid user on their team, but just one...lol...those mid-late 90's #s were just silly.

dabynsky · 08-11-2011, 03:35 PM

Well it seems like we are starting to get a bit of interest (6 people if everyone who has responded is interested). There have been a number of good suggestions so far, and perhaps we ought to start a discussion on how this draft would be conducted.

Baseball draft? Two words: Fuck yes!
