BROWNFIELD RECLAMATION PROJECT
In a desperate attempt to return to the playoffs for the first time since the league's first season (which he did), CATom has traded away all of his top picks for the next two years:
1st rd pick, '15
2nd rd pick, '15
3rd rd pick, '15
1st pros '15
2nd pros '15
1st rd supp, '15
1st rd pick, '16
1st rd pros, '16
2nd rd pros, '16
In order to find a manager willing to rehabilitate the damaged CATom franchise, I suggest that the league offer the following incentives:
a. The current roster has 41 players on it, including a few diamonds-in-the-rough and a bunch a bums. Let's allow the new manager to drop as many as he wishes.
b. For the upcoming free agent draft, let's allow each team to drop players to the standard max 30/min 25 roster limits and to then protect 20 of the remaining players. The new manager may then select up to one player from the unprotected players on each active roster (or from a team's drop list, if desired).
c. After keeping some of the current players and selecting up to 11 unprotected ones from the other 11 teams, the new manager may have an active roster as large as he wishes at the start of the draft (up to a max of 40).
d. For the supplemental draft in both the 2015 and 2016 card sets, let's allow the new manager to drop up to 3 players (instead of 2) and have an automatic, extra 1st pick prior to the start of the rest of the supp draft.
e. The current roster has 0 prospects and the team has no prospect picks for the next two years. Let's allow an extra prospect pick at the end of each round of the next two prospect drafts.

Shall we offer this incentive package to a new manager?
1. tcochran - YES
2. padrenurgle - YES
3. alk58 - Yes
4. Lakeviewdave - NO (because of 20 protected, YES if 25 protected)
5. thechamp87 - YES
6. Dr.Publix - NO (because of 20 protected, YES if 25 protected)
7. jflatour99 - a BIG YES (let's remember that we'd only lose 1 player and if we want to find a manager, we must "give a little bit" like Hodgson would say.)
