On the one hand there are nearly thirty different qualifying years, but on the other hand about one-third of them (around 1970-forward) are recent enough to make their selection at least somewhat unattractive due to a lack of low priced players.
So I'm thinking that we tweak the rules to add another round to the beginning of the draft, in which we each select a qualifying reliever regardless of birth/death year. This will take the RP-only rule out of consideration when choosing your birth/death years. Any RP not selected in round one would still go to an owner who selects his birth/death year, but those selected in round one would not.
Let me hear what you think!
I agree a separate RP draft round may work best for the reason(s) you describe. Makes the evaluation of the eligible years a bit "cleaner" instead of trying to qualify the correct RP preferentially at the expense of the other positions. I might suggest two random draft orders. One serpentine for the RP and stadium and the other for birth and death years. I would also suggest drafting the RP, first. Then the birth and death years (serpentine) and then back for the stadiums (reverse order from the RPs).
Quick add that both draft orders known before the RPs are drafted....
