Expansion Discussion Thread

If we're good with the plan of not adding any players to the FA pool, is there any reason we can't go ahead and start the FA draft on the forums?  The talent in the FA pool isn't exactly world beating and the incumbant teams are currently restricted from claiming those guys.  I'd suggest using the reverse order from the Expansion Draft.  It won't be long before we get in sync with the two drafts so that teams are making picks in both places at the same time.

That's a fantastic idea. Yes I'll create a thread for the FA Draft so we can get started. And yes, we'll go with the reserve order for this draft.

Draft is moving along nicely as is the FA draft. Looks like we'll be ahead of schedule to get into Spring Training for 2017 when we'll release our wrath on those in the Frontier League as well!!

I am absolutely shocked by some of the players I didn't lose.

Well you had so many of them

Joe Hunter especially. I mean he's old and his obp ain't great but he has a decent war and vorp combined with good defensively. I also figured I'd lose at least 2 catchers. That's a start

I wasn't all that interested in many of the older guys.  I was actually surprised at how early some of them were snapped up, but they could be good trade bait.  First base was a reasonably loaded position with lots of guys that looked similar in my mind and I can only use so many guys with no defensive flexibility.  The catcher situation I didn't notice as obviously.  I liked your pitchers more than your hitters, but I think I felt that way with everyone.  If I'm not mistaken, I think I had the highest number of pitchers compared to hitters of the 4 draftees.
