We'll suppose I start out drafting Seaver, Schmidt and Richie Allen. Then it is announced that the cap is 60 mil. Wouldn't that put me at a disadvantage? Alternatively, suppose I draft low salary guys and the cap is announced at 80 mil - also an unfortunate situation. The problem is that by announcing the rule after the draft, you give a competitive advantage to some players, and this advantage is kind of arbitrary. It's like playing poker and the dealer (who is also a player) announces the rules after the cards are dealt.
