My other vote:

General Mike's idea about a dispersal draft with a protected list of maybe 3 players from the original team.

[Bearcat729]

My vote being the same as Z

[Ragone]

I like General Mike's idea as well.. however.. i'm wondering who the pirates will protect :P

[MizzouRah]

I that or 2 pitchers, 2 position players..

1 pitcher has to have gold stars (generally a vet)
1 pitcher has to have blue stars (a rookie)

the same with position players...

:)

[General Mike]

Other - My idea. And as far as 3 players, thats just a general number to throw out their, because I figure even the bottom teams have 3 guys they would like to keep. And it's not like you have to protect 3 major league players. A team could protect 3 hot shot prospects, or 3 top veterans, or mix and match.

Even the Pirates have at least 3 players to protect ;)

If only I could find a way to let OOTP let Lloyd McClendon be my utility outfielder :D

I would prefer no draft, but if we go that route I really like being able to have a three or five man protected list...

I love this idea. It allows the people who got a team they really care about to keep a couple of key guys to keep some attachment, and for the rest of us, we can choose a couple guys to mold our teams around.

[mtaystl03]

I say 2 protected pitchers and 2 protected offensive players.

[MrBug708]

No draft, but if we did, I'd say any combo of 7, but no more than 5 at either position or pitcher

[Ragone]

Why jeeber? half your team is gonna be applying for aarp cards after first year anyway ;)

[JeeberD]

Berkman? Hildago? Oswalt? Lane? Miller? Hernandez? Ensberg?

Yeah, so Bags and Bidge and Clemens and Kent are old-timers, but the Astros have plenty of young talent as well... :)

[SackAttack]

Hildago? Does that mean you'll be leaving Hidalgo unprotected? :D

It sounds like there is some real merit to considering the "partial" draft idea - I, of course, would rather do it in full, but that would be a nice compromise, I think. Hopefully before too long we can get some kind of board to have more formal voting or whatever.

[Ben E Lou]

I normally would be in favor of a full draft if possible, but it just so happens that I only have one weekend between now and mid-June that I'd be free enough to participate in a live draft. If people would be willing to do a "slow" live draft, I'd be all for that.

[RPI-Fan]

I'm not sure about this, but what we might do would be "medium-speed" draft - you get 20 minutes or so to pick during the day or you can do a list pick, and optional picks are at night. And after a couple of rounds of that, you can start some 3-5 round mini-draft live sessions, and since it's past the first couple of rounds, drafting via list wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Obviously this is just speculation, but it seems a plan like that might be suitable for all involved.

We'll still need to work out whether there really is interest in doing any kind of draft though.

MrBug, no offense, but 7 is a ton of guys to protect, maybe too many, especially for the top tier teams.
Yankees for example - ARod, Jeter, Posada, Vazquez, Mussina, Rivera, Giambi/Sheffield
Oakland for example - Chavez, Crosby, Kotsay, Hudson, Mulder, Zito, Harden
San Diego for example - Giles, Burroughs, Klesko, Loretta, Peavy, Lawrence, Eaton

Maybe 3 major league players, and 3 prospects (no ML experience) is a good compromise.

Picking a good roster set, is a key as well.

I have the CBLCardinals v1.3 roster set, and most of it seems pretty darn good to me.

I was thinking today, since there are quite a few minor league players included as well in this roster set, I think a total of 5 protected players sounds about right - I also like the 2 position players, 2 pitchers.
