This is a good idea. The league was former nearly 12 years ago, and almost everything has changed including leadership. What worked before may not work anymore or in the future.

The hardest part about a league like this with 150 minors spots and full 30 teams is going to be administrating all the work required. I am all for anything that reduce that strain. Its an unpaid and many times thankless job that has to be done.

I think the freezing of draft picks during the draft will help make that job easy and much less messy. Moving the draft will help a lot.

Maybe we could lower minors size to 100? Reduce that burden without affecting much actual scoring? Just a thought as a new owner. The minors size is overwhelming and this would enable more robust free agency for new teams.

I was thinking about this but it may be in the wrong section. I was wondering if it could be thought about instead of every 24hrs posting a new player in international free agency could instead you could post one each day. Like if I posted at 10pm I could post again in 2-3 hours. With work and other stuff I am sometimes searching and finding timestamps to see if I am good. It would be like everyday after 8am whatever time zone you can post a new prospect.

If I understand correctly, the limiting of trading picks during draft is to make things more sane for the people leading the league during that busy time. That makes sense to me.

Instead of being able to trade picks at certain times and not other times it might be better to just eliminate the trading of picks altogether. It's not really a thing in baseball anyway. The only downside is that lots of picks won't get used, but it would eliminate some of the one sided deals that happen when a GM is just trying to get anything for unwanted picks.

I'd also shorten the draft to 10 rounds or less.

If that?s the rule id be fine with that but draft pick trading happened until 2025

So it should be implemented until 2026
