Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostOne thing I don't like about straight decades drafts is the end-game, where you know exactly how the remaining hitters and pitchers are going to be allocated. It reduces the strategy.
Don't you know more about who someone is going to pick when they are forced to pick both a specific letter and decade, than just decade?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are comparing against when you say straight decade.

Also, there's always an element in the end-game where the two competing forces of (1) wanting to pick first to get the best player and (2) wanting to pick last to have the most information about who other teams have picked, start to balance out. But in decades it almost feels like force #2 becomes so dominant at the end of the draft that I'd rather just have you guys finish up the draft at this point, and I'd have an advantage even picking from the leftovers."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

When did you give up on it?

Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostOther factors that matter here are leaving yourself enough flexibility at the end to make #2 relevant, and multi scoring, which being more volatile, can mean bigger swings.

I am usually suspect about modern SPs, especially if they come with a premium.

Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostI guess that's a general problem with those juicy modern pitchers, you have to way their value against having to lose value by making forced picks for the smaller pool of closers in the earlier decades. Then if you don't make those forced picks, or miss out, you lose any value spent in that category.
