Draft Pick Trading: Friend or Foe?


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?
