I had this brainstorm the other day because I was concerned about people leaving. We need to make sure the league stays somewhat balanced, so this is what I came up with. It isn't much, but should help.
I was thinking that teams could get additional MiLB picks depending on finish. So the top 6 teams only get 6 like originally discussed. Teams 7-10 get one more for 7 MiLB guys, 11-15 get 2 more picks to total 8. 16-18 get 9 MiLB guys and 19-20 get 10 total. But, if you finish 20th one year and you have 10 MiLB guys, but finish 6th the next season, then you have to go back down to 6 and cut some. So each season we start fresh and the teams with the poorest records get more MiLB guys. There would be no trading of picks after round 6, since there is an uneven number.
By the way, we need to clean up some of the language on MiLB guys as well. They should be more like keepers where we can keep 3 and then pick our other 3 from a pool or something to account for call-ups or flameouts. So each season, we get to keep which ones we want to and then draft until we get our desired total.
Hopefully this made sense. It makes total sense in my mind, but I have also had 3 marguarita's tonight. Lots of things make sense right now.
