Franchise Expansion Team Draft

[dukie98]

Three thoughts:

1) Have we determined divisions? Will it be 1-4-7-10, 2-5-8-11, and 3-6-9-12 -- or first come, first served?

2) I don't see why we need to actively prevent someone from drafting an eligible player for whom they have "exclusive" rights. Just because it may not be the best choice tactically doesn't make it improper. Other than a situation like the Frank Thomas pick, where the player never played for the franchise, or if the player is carded to someone else's team, we shouldn't be correcting other players' picks going forward. Just my opinion.

3) By my count, nearly half the league was in the running for Kenny Lofton.

Divisions by -4-7-10, 2-5-8-11, and 3-6-9-12.

Only corrected players picks b/c of confusion with understanding of the rules.

Smoltz's 38 innings in 2009 qualify. He never pitched for the A's, so there shouldn't be a problem with skipping Visick's pick.
