Again, I have to ask, does MLB care? They have never done the slightest thing to try to curb tanking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I really wonder how draft order is going to be determined. Have we heard any rumblings? Or are they likely to actually go off record like normal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how they can set the order based off this messed up season especially if teams don't play all 60 games. That's why I I think they're just gonna use last years order and be done with it.

There's no chance they just use last year's draft order. And MLB is at least attempting to make up all games if you look at the revised schedule. But you can't really believe they'd just give the Tigers the #1 pick again, right? Using order of finish in 2020 is most likely, but a random draw as a backup would make a lot more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Looks like they're moving the draft to middle of July. I really hope they thought this thru but something tells me they didn't. This is going to fuck a lot of shit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they thought this thru but something tells me they didn't. This is going to fuck a lot of shit up. They want to get rid of all the short season leagues. So they move the draft later, shut down all the pitchers and have college hitters play low A. High school guys go to complex leagues. I bet they shrink the draft significantly over the next several years. I think MLB is tired of paying for a system in which whole teams don’t even have one Mlb player on them.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 It's going to mess up the draft schedule because teams won't have the entire summer to scout next years group. Major summer events like PG National, East Coast Pro, Under Armour Game, PG all star game, Area Codes and numerus summer tournaments will all be affected or canceled. It's also going to mess up summer college leagues. I don't think they fully understand the summer scouting circuit. They will most definitely reduce the draft and that is also a mistake. Teams are being short sighted because they look at it as paying players who won't make it to the big leagues when in reality they are playing against the guys who will make it to the big leagues. Those guys have to play and develop against someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 It's a money grab. They want to take control of the amateur summer circuit. There's obviously a shit ton of money to be made and they're tired of seeing all of it going to Perfect Game and PBR. It's just going to be a very difficult transition and I have zero faith they will do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams have fired a lot of scouts. Also I think HS and int players will do more training early on and less games. And long term mlb might want to use college ball as a free dev system like football does. That means most draft guys will be college with a few very talented HS exceptions.
