Joe,

As far as something different why not pick stadiums first? I never understood the fascination with not knowing who is in what park. To me SOM is as close to being a GM as you can get. In real MLB GM's know going in obviously what teams are in what park and can assemble their teams based on that information, i'm not sure why it's always been different here. Hell, sometimes you don't even get the stadium you built your OWN team for! I'd much rather the best team win based on the players they choose...not because they got unlucky and fell in a division with bad ballparks.

I'd love to assemble my team already knowing the parks in my divivsion, and everbody would have the same advantage. It sucks when you set up your team one way and find out the other 3 teams in your division pick ballparks totally unfitting of the team you created. I'd much rather everyone know up front, at least then you can't use ballpark as an excuse.

Corky,

Interesting post. But if you are trying to generate league discussion and a possible rules change, why address the post to just Joe?

Bigmahon,

Sorry about that, it wasn't my intention to just put that out there to Joe. I was addressing him because he has next to his name in the list for the next league "lets try something new". In my head I was responding to that but in reality that post was addressed to the league.

I'd love to hear everyone's opinion on it.

Sorry for the confusion!

Corky, no problem! So are you suggesting that we randomly assign parks? Or do a park draft prior to the player draft? I like the idea of random parks, but that could be too much for some here. I'm not sure about a park draft, to be honest, mainly because Progressive is such an advantage.

I do agree that some new twist would be good for the NLD!

Other views on Corky's idea?

I'm ok with it either way Bigmahon but you would probably get a lot of complaints if it were random....And either the conventional way or using a stadium draft someone is gonna get Progressive so the advantage will always be there. Actually it would be less of an advantage with the stadium draft because the rest of your division would be able to prepare more for it knowing a division mate is playing there.

I really don't see any downside to it. Plus it's different but not crazy in any way.
