Draft style debate

[Slyder]

What's hilarious is that whoever does finish second, goes from great draft pick, to not so much.

Isn't it still based on record or did Leo change it to NFL style where playoff teams draft last regardless of record?

He changed it after you made the playoffs with a shitty record . Record for non playoff, playoff performance for the playoff teams (so WS winner is last). NFL is smart.

Thats why I thought it was still by record. In my defense I clearly earned the other years before blowing up that team. And I made the NL West earn it last year with 90+ wins .

It's been that way since you were in Brooklyn

I'd just like to voice my opinion on why doing an NFL style draft sucks.

A wildcard team that snuck in at 87 wins could end up with the last pick, while realistically they are the 8th or 7th best team in the league. Also, the best team could be knocked out in the division series and ends up with a pretty good draft pick.

Just thought I'd throw that out there

Winning the World Series > higher draft pick

It's also retarded to see playoff teams drafting before non playoff teams. NFL style for the win.

If I sneak in with 75 wins and win the World Series I don't care if I have to pick last the next year.

[Kingdom]

Yeah, something like that happening, we are still gonna talk about it ten seasons later

[Trendy Bastard]

Yeah yeah, I get that part. I'm just saying the MLB style draft makes way more sense from a competition point of view.

How often does the best team win the World Series? Idk, but it's a lot less common than the best team winning the Super Bowl.

I think it's just as retarded as a 87 win team picking after a 95 win team.

See that's where you and I differ. If I get in being that bad, I don't want to be punished with a 24 pick(which usually isn't that great of a pick) because I shocked the league and won it all.

You won the World Series. How are you being punished?

[Trendy Bastard]

By picking dead last when clearly not the best team?

Shrug

I was ecstatic when I upset Balty with a losing record. Didn't care about losing on a top ten pick. I get a kick out of it when hammer dredges it up every season
