D2D trash talk and draft comments thread

However, our draft is so thin with 24 teams and prospect keepers that having those 48-72 players available for our draft would do wonders.

Counterpoint: Our FA draft may be a little thinner at the top, but in general it is much deeper than other 24-team leagues I am in because so many uncarded players (prospects that haven't hit the majors, mostly) take up 20-man roster spots instead of player cards in the $1MM to 2.5MM range. And we play with the Unleashed set.

I wouldn't be opposed to eliminating the Supplemental Draft, but maybe with some tweaks, it could remain. The Supplemental gives weaker teams a chance to speculate for the following year, while it gives contenders a chance to rearrange the end of their benches. If you choose not to participate (as several have) and miss out on an opportunity to improve your team, then that's on you.

I'd recommend reducing the number of rounds from 3 to 2. And make only carded players available in the Supplemental Draft instead of any player that was eligible for the FA draft.

Actually klx22 you and mlbphan are both new and could have changed stadiums at any point between when you joined and now. Both of you were told that when you joined. Mlbphan chose to wait and see if something opened in the first two picks. If you want to change as a new owner you can do so. Just post your pick now.

I also support eliminating the supplemental draft.

Gavin Sheets can be had for a 4th round prospect pick and Zack Burdi

I actually commented that upon taking over the team & think that might be why I already have GABP and wish to keep it. Rick needs to repick.

I'm in agreement with Cal's reform and would support that. I would not support banning the supplemental.

Also WELCOME STONEY!!!

I am not at a computer. I’m at sons baseball tourney. I agree that Jax already has Great American Ballpark. Is it not showing that on the Parks and Owners tab?

Mlbphan needs to depict or stay with his Park
