    Draft Changes and Draft Pick Trading Rules Change

    There won't be any for the foreseeable future. With that said, effective the first day of free agency this winter, I'm expanding the years of trading draft picks to four seasons in the future, meaning that this off season, you'll be allowed to trade up to the 2021 draft.
    The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

    Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.

    It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized, not only for everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown. By organizing industrially we are forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old.

    ''It seems like they can't do anything wrong here,'' Buehrle said of the Twins, after admitting that the Sox do flinch a bit coming to the dome. ''[Manager Ozzie Guillen] calls them 'piranhas,' but I call them 's---heads.' I would tell you what I really call them, but I know you couldn't print it. They get on base, bunt, steal, bloop singles -- it's [bleep]ing annoying.''

    Every draft idea proposed hasn't garnered enough support to pass with a supermajority, and really, nobody is complaining about it now. Why change it?

    I'm opposed to just about any changes to the draft structure in this league; only thing I would say is that I'd support reducing number of years you can trade draft picks to two, rather than expanding it to four. The idea of teams shutting themselves out of the draft for four straight years is one that I think would be bad for the league.

    Re: Draft Changes and Draft Pick Trading Rules Change

    On the whole, I'm in favor of less trade restrictions than more. Such as players for picks, players for cash, picks for cash. Four seasons isn't too insane of a timeline. It has happened often in the other professional sports often enough to consider it a plausible scenario.

    Only concern I have is with owners trading a bunch of picks and then quiting the league.

    That works for any team asset. Trading large amounts of cash, a superstar player. The odds of it happening are so slim, and it would look like obvious collusion that any trade of the such would be reversed.

    I start by offering all of my draft picks for the next 4 seasons to whoever brings me Greinke, Wieters, and Yi.

    I just don't share this sentiment. I think two seasons is reasonable, and four seasons is just too much.

    Well, personally I'm not thinking so much of collusion as owners drastically overpaying for a player, then leaving after realizing they're in over their head. And it seems to be a fairly well-established precedent that lopsided trades are allowed in this league.

    Trades that can be perceived as lopsided, sure. Franchise-breaking, no.

    To be honest, the occurrence of someone trading draft picks over four years is going to be so rare and slim, and would probably be made by a long-time regular, that I really doubt it'll ever be a problem.

    If anything, rookie managers overvalue draft picks
