This is a repost of somthing I wrote on BTB just reposting
After reading Sky Kalkmans great piece here, I remembered a simmering topic I always think about, draft pick trading. I think it would be a great idea for the MLB considering that it works for the NFL, maybe it will work for Pro Baseball. I've assembled a small list of Pluses and Minuses of Draft Pick Trading.
+ Rebuilding Teams can add Extra Picks to their team for players.
- Draft Pick Compensation will no longer be useful.
+ Instead of Future Considerations and Cash Considerations, get a later pick instead.
- Set a Certain Amount of Rounds
I know this is a short list, but just general ideas.
I think draft pick trading would be a nice addition to the MLB even though it will need some work. What does everyone else think on Draft Pick Trading in the MLB?
