I do agree, what if a GM is not around for this process, thats a problem!
How would you do the money situation. Last place would have more then the World Series Champ, right? I think that would be the only way to do this! But I definatly like what we are doing with the draft this season? It just feels like its more real. So if it was up to me I would see keep what we have!
Right now we sign prospects and DPs from our roster budget. In real life MLB teams use a completely different pile of money to do this. Maybe we get something like an additional 20 mil for DPs and FA prospects. That will make people choose a little more wiser that using the contra spread fire method of signing prospect FAs.
MLB teams don't necessarily publish their budgets including their farm system, but the money all comes from the same place. If an MLB team breaks the bank on a big free agent, MLB doesn't give them some money to go pay for draft bonuses...Our required bonuses based on pre-draft ranking are published in the rules - teams are able to (and encouraged to) review them and plan accordingly to save budget room for the draft.
