Re: Re: TOO MANY BOTS
@acecannon I do appreciate the spirit of your idea. But, we’d have to basically double the free agents in auto leagues, essentially adding hundreds of new players that nobody wants, all so we can have a unique pool of players for each of the 12 teams to draft from. The owner is still going to likely select a roster from the original pool and not touch any of the cruddy new players we’ve added. Your team is now totally out of your control and entirely dependent on this “pool” that was created for you, with a bunch of poor players thrown in to create the illusion that you’re drafting your team. The reality is, the unique pool has already determined which star players you’re going to be offered. For example, if the first basemen in my pool are Lou Gehrig, Johnny Mize and three newcomers who rank far worse, it’s unlikely I’m drafting any of the newcomers anyway, and I’ve lost any shot at Todd Helton or Frank Thomas because they are in some other team’s pool. I just don’t think that’s a Quick Draft experience anyone wants.
I think there’s probably a way to keep it interesting and still offer the best players without cluttering the league with unwanted free agents, but my brain is still hurting trying to figure out the way.
