Showing Auto Draft order...

Have people seen the change where you can go into 'draft results' and see where someone drafted any card you missed on?

Dont know about the rest of you, but to me, thats a big negative, for people to be able to see where you place players on your card.

Yea. This was proposed many years ago and people didn't like it. Not sure who Strat's focus group is for updates. I was hoping Nevdully would make a return for a long overdue rant. I remember he gave a memorable one against this feature.

I don't know how I feel about it, yet. But it sure is interesting!

me too!
I miss him and of course Bruce, who were both extraordinarily clear thinkers when it comes it to stating and understanding why this stuff is so bad for the game.

Agree. Do not like it. Although, it does point out what I consider to be a flaw in the game. We have hundreds, maybe thousands, of the best players to ever walk the Earth to choose from, yet at the top of the draft lists, everyone is fighting over little known utility players like Mike Blowers, Mariano Duncan, Jordy Mercer, Shano Collins, Mark Brouhard, etc. If these guys are so critical to winning championships, perhaps they should be priced significantly higher?

You make a good point-
the only thing Id add is that the higher the salary cap, the less these players are prioritized.

Agreed! I am very surprised this issue has not been addressed yet!

You could increase injuries to 50-60 games for these guys. That would get them back to their suggested, actual,plate appearances, and bring on a real consequence if you draft them.

If you ever want to play in a $80M league without those little known but exceedingly popular utility players, use the NO 10s! custom set: https://365.strat-o-matic.com/playerset/browse/100740

In this set, all cards that have a Usage rating of 10 have been removed. You can view players and their Usage ratings under the Info/Help menu>Player Set Browser>Stats History. (Unfortunately, you can't filter the list on Usage rating.)

No cheat cards in this set.

but... all those players are only good vs. lefties... so... if there are few lefties as is often the case... drafting them in the first rounds is somewhat a roll of the dice...
