We may as well try the current system for 2010 and see how it goes.  Ben brings some good points to the table.  We could always make it so the 1st round is slow with a 24 hour window for each pick.  I imagine with our 30 active GMs that it would go quick (two weeks).

If the problem is that our budgets do not reflect what a real MLB budget actually is, then I don't necessarily disagree.  However, I don't think splitting up the money is a great idea - teams should be responsible for allocating their money properly.

We already have plans to consider inflation of budgets as the years progress.  I would propose we re-evaluate budgets at the end of this season and see if we need a bigger hike to account for the problems being addressed here.

Yes, that would be my argument. I tend to get carried away sometimes. I do not feel that the budgets we have represent what our real life counterparts have. I do agree that teams are responsible for their own budgets. All I am saying is that we are working with less of the pie then our counterparts. Meaning our team's budget is a representation of our MLB teams 40 man roster would have been as of last year. But, my argument is that MLB organizations have separate funds for things such as signing bonuses for amateur players. That is something I feel is lacking in our Franchise GM world. From what I can gather, the point of all the hard work that you guys have put in so far, is to get the closest facsimile of a real life MLB team. I just happen to think this is a part that is lacking. I think it puts teams in a tough spot when it comes to signing draft picks. I think the bad teams should get the best available players. But when you have a budget of 50 mil, it makes it difficult to sign someone to a 7 million signing bonus if that money is coming from a fund that is meant for active players. Because that is going to be another year where that team can't compete, because funds are being spent elsewhere, when normally those funds wouldn't come from there. I honestly hope this makes sense. I am not trying to rattle cages or anything like that. So I don't know if you guys agree with my POV, but I think it is something we should consider for the future of this league. Who wants to be bad and then have to sign some scrub prospect because you have no money in your 40 man budget? Well anyone outside of Dave Littlefield... ZING

I think this is a dead issue.  The remaining issue is when and how do we do the draft?   The original idea was to do it in a chat room.  I can implement a chat room in different parts of MLFB.

Another idea was to do an autodraft based on prerankings submitted by each GM.

First - a chat room would be great if you could add that for general purposes...

I'd vote for a slow draft on the board with time limits, where we'll still have in-draft control but be most flexible to the 30 different schedules we'll need to juggled.

I'll agree with Ben.  A longer process, but probably move effective for the league.

What time limit do we want to impose?  We could go with 24 hours for the 1st round and 12 hours for all of the following rounds.

 :bump:

We have three months until the entry draft is scheduled.  Let's figure out the specs of the slow draft.  I would also say that a week before the entry draft, GMs must make the provisions to their roster to be ready for the draft.  If they have X EDR spots available, then that is how many picks they get from their bunch.  The remaining later round picks become null and void.

Hmm...I dunno about that, Colb.  I plan on signing the players I can't fit on my EDR just to my 40 man roster.  I would rather not void out picks that I have earned, per se.  They are just as easy to release if I decide I don't want them (to save cap, etc.), rather than not being able to draft them at all.

Excellent point... forget the void part and let's just vote on the specs.  I would like to see the draft conducted in a period of three months... from June through August.
