A draft wheel is another option. If there is a draft wheel, picks can never be traded. I don't think you need the dog and pony show of ping pong balls and draft wheels. Just incentivise teams that come the closest to making the playoffs. If they did that the Tigers wouldn't be sitting here with 46 wins. They would be trying to win games to move up in draft position. What a concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this year Cleveland would get the 1st pick and Detroit would get the 20th. That would put an end to the race to the bottom. This is a ridiculously stupid idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a concept. The incentive to win is that whether you finish with 67 wins or 87 wins, you still have the same odds to get a high pick. Also, you'd have no idea where you're drafting until the winter meetings. There is zero guarantee of a high pick. You could win 65 games and pick 20th, if that is where the ping pong balls put you. The first time that happens, will be the first time that teams try to win instead of tank. Most years, if you don't make the playoffs you're going to pick in the teens anyway.

BamaDoc Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Maybe if you did equal weighting and put six worst teams in a group. Then 7-14 in a group with equal weighting. Maybe can't be in top group more than two consecutive years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should consider Grandal regardless of Collins. They could bring in Puig, Calhoun and Grandal, bring back Abreu and still have starts available for Collins. It's a nice way to let him prove himself. Remember there are 26 men on the active roster next year and relievers have to face 3 batters.

southsideirish71 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 God Ricky loves him some Yolmer. If Ricky for whatever reason is their long term answer. I figure the Sox will give Yolmer a 3 year extension and trade Madrigal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Nova led the league in starts, and finished with a 4.72 ERA. Acceptable season. Let him know the season starts on March 26th next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
