Should there be a limit on how many drafted?

Any and all suggestions are always welcome here. This is one that as you can imagine would fall into the collusion category and thus we probably would never allow trading of even draft picks, but time will tell. Gordon even brought up an idea where you get to choose your draft position based on the number that was chosen by KP staffers. That's a more possible idea, but at this point not manageable. But Dictator Ambrosius will listen to everything, so thanks for an idea that is sure to get even more responses.

Gordon's picture was a dandy of Everson Walls intercepting a pass, so good luck trading for that one.

Thought about it for a minute, nope, that idea wasn't mine. That would be all luck and totally random. Same as you have now. My idea brings something more to the table. Maybe I'll run it by Dyv and get his thoughts?

I had to reply to a article that you posted on Yahoo sports. The glove work of A seasoned veteran like Alex Rodriguez compare well to the new kid BJ Upton.

ARODS First 17 games in 1994

Good one. And if Upton hits around 750 more HR's he'll pass Hank Aaron.

Unless he becomes a closer and knocks down 400 saves...

I don't think that allowing a team to pick their draft position is a good idea. For this kind of dough everything about the league should be completely random. Draft order needs to be determined with zero influence from anybody on what position they draft. I would not want to be in a league where teams can determine their own drafting position and I would view it as an unfair advantage.

I agree...let the cards fall where that may. (Just not #1 for me, please).
