I think you stop the drafting draft picks also.
I have to agree with you Colby. As much as I have done it, I think we should put an end to trading draft picks. However I would not be completely against keeping it around. I just think it gives us a more realistic approach to trading, especially since most of us will have full rosters at the start of this season, and even more so, after the draft.
I guess just to clarify...with the use of supplemental picks, would teams that are deep in the draft in order to rebuild (the Mets this year) still be able to do that to the degree that is going on? I like to have that strategy be available to teams that are really looking to rebuild for the future.The Mets this year have 17 picks, four of them first rounders, and he has sacrificed quite a bit for it. Can we still count on that happening, should GM's decide to want to go that route? Or will this supplemental pick method curb that heavily?
We allow trading of RFA. Small market teams are granted more RFA tags. This helps the rebuilding as you can use an RFA tag on a high value FA and earn a supplemental pick on them if they don't sign with your team. Other than that, simply trading for prospects and putting bonus money toward top prospects (scouting) will help turn around a team in the future.
im on board for this also, colby... how many RFA tags do smalll market teams get?
