Not to mention they will draft 1st in 2017 (and probably a couple seasons after that
) I guess it depends on how fast you want them to be competitve.
How about this I went and looked up MLB rules and they use: "major league teams may protect 15 players prior to the draft." and then also protect any with less than 3 years experience which we are kinda doing with the 22 and under rule. So what if we did 15 + all players 22 and under. That puts 5 more MLB players out per team which is an extra 80 players. 40 per team which will likely be starters right off.
