Better to lose it to me in 6 months than lose it to some random at the tables in 6 minutes?

With luck, this will continue when we start sorting out the big leaguers too. I'm curious as to just how badly the Royals would do at 12 team roto.

More seriously, I would like input on prize distribution, and on when to start the auction. There are threads in the general section of Proboards on this. If you haven't looked at them, please do, as I will eventually assume that anyone who hasn't said anything is happy with whatever we decide.

Can't be worse than they do in the MLB.

If we have 14? I think we should do 60/30/10% I'm not opposed to giving 4th $50 for entry into next year either.

I say pay top 3, 60/30/10 sounds good.

Also, havent read all the rules, but an interesting twist in a league I was in was going 4-12th (12 team league) then 3/2/1 for the rookie draft. kept potential tanking at bay.

I am down for that or a weighted lottery system for the 4-12 picks. In this format I don't think the drafting order will be a huge deal, since we have a minor league team too.

I suggested 400/200/100, more because the numbers are neater than anything else.

I'm a little worried that people might tank, especially when there is a clear number one pick like Strasburg, who is major league ready at a level which impacts on a 14 team league, but then I do like the idea that the worst team gets the chance to get the best player, just to make it a little easier to rebuild.

One suggestion that was made on the Proboards thread was to have whoever was last having to pay an extra $50 into the next year's kitty. I suspect that would reduce tanking, but I wouldn't want to do that, unless everyone was happy with it.

id give 4th 50

350/200/100/50 - 1st still gets 50%

5-12 lottery -- but give 5 8 entries, 6 7 entries, etc

I'd suggest lottery then. Weight it and give all teams 4-12 a CHANCE for the top 3 picks.

I'd have to look into the numbers, but basically just like the NBA system.

I think 4th should at least pay for the next year as well.

Just to play devils advocate, in the last two years the #1 picks would have been Strasburg and Bryce Harper.....

Yes, but we're also having a pretty robust system in place here as well already.

And I'm not sure how that's devil's advocate to a lottery

I have no problems with a lottery system.

My point was more how in any league format a stud could affect your future, and why tanking needs to be dealt with.

Oh. Yeah F tankers. I thought you were responding to a different post I made. Baseball drafts aren't like basketball or football where people are playing a year after they graduate. Sure there may be a stud or two every year, but even then it's rare for them to really contribute until they've been in the system 2 or 3 years.

Unless you drafted Royals, then they'll probably start the year with the club

The last two drafts are certainly out of the ordinary, can't argue with that.

Of course, Strasburg now wont be a force for 2-3 years anyways.

Also, not sure where to ask on the other board, so

If we draft a minor leaguer who gets called up, do we HAVE to sign him to a rookie contract? It doesn't appear that way, but I can't tell for sure.

What are the implications for your salary cap if you don't sign him to a rookie contract during the season?

Also, are rookie contracts 3 years @ $1 per year or 3 years @ $3 per year?

Thanks.

At the end of the season that he loses rookie eligibility, you have to decide whether to sign him to a rookie contract or release him.

If you don't sign a player, he earns no salary, and cannot be used - if you want him to play, you have to sign him.

Rookie contracts are 3 years at $3/year.
