Shaun, here's a massive wrinkle you could throw at people:

Put the draft in June, the way the real MLB draft is.

How would this work?

We would create the *pool* back in the off-season, with a fairly inaccurate scouting.

Have the scouting get more and more accurate through Spring Training, April, and May.

Players (and teams) draft rookies in June, which putting them over the roster limit (N).

They then have to make cuts and trades to 'make room' for their new draftees and get back down to N players.

It would create a lot of roster movement, and sort of force at least one mid-season evaluation of the minor-league squads.

It would make for a lot of interesting decisions, and especially so if any of the rookies wound up signed to major-league contracts, therefore consuming a spot on the new 40-man roster.

Amaroq,

Its amazing the mixed emotions I feel when I open your posts :)

The ideas are always amazingly well thought out, and you are obviously cognizant of development implications. It's like you are a co-designer at this point.

On the flip-side, I step away from the computer after reading you posts overwhelmed with the fact that I'll never get to all your ideas.

My friend, my friend, I don't mean to overwhelm - and I'm (certainly) not thinking "Oh my gosh, this all has to be in for PS'08!"

I just hope you (we?) can build the business to a point that it makes financial sense to have a co-designer..

And I can be the steel-toothed, murderous henchman that will carry out the plans of the evil boss. Oh wait, what are we talking about again?

Every company needs one of those. After all, Shaun might have to let one of us go someday.
