Ok I think I just spotted a glaring oversight in the execution of this draft.

The draft order is based on reverse order of standings as it should be.

However, some owners swapped teams/rosters this offseason.

I'm pretty sure Kevin (leppardkev, former Nationals owner) carried his entire roster over to the Rangers but has the #5 pick from the old Rangers orphan roster??? Thus leaving the orphan Rangers with an unjustified lower pick??? It doesn't bother me a ton but it is unfair and other owners closer to those draft positions might not be too happy about it.

Are there any other swaps we are missing or is there something I'm missing???

I know Cris swapped Rockies to Royals but that's accurately reflected in this draft.

Brian went from Giants to Reds which is not reflected in this draft but I don't know if he carried his roster over as well.

Not sure if there were others...

I adjusted the position for KC.  I missed Texas until it was too late.  I looked at it when I realized and I believe there is not a huge difference in position on that one.  I am not going to go back and adjust.  Brian moved, but did not take his players. 

I don't know how you guys did it when people moved teams.  Going forward if GMs switch teams, they are going to inherit the players of the new team and leave behind their old players.  It is too messy to switch like that.

Good enough for me. Personally I don’t mind the Rangers/Nationals discrepancy as the players taken don’t seem a huge difference and it didn’t impact my team but I felt obliged to bring it up.

And I agree that roster swaps should probably not happen. It’s messy and not good for the other teams in the divisions as maybe they planned their window to compete around divisional rivals rosters. It was only done once before that I know of as a prerequisite for someone to be willing to take on commish when nobody else wanted to.
