Guys I think the time has come for us to consider shortening the length of our Milb draft.
When we decided to extend it from 6 rounds to 8, half of the minor league rosters were empty or clogged up with easily cut busted prospects.
Now that everyone has gotten better at drafting, it seems that the past couple years that a shorter draft would suffice. Teams have either had more picks than they can use or have unnecessarily called guys up just to make room to accommodate their late picks. While I'm guilty of the latter, neither are a trend that I'd like to see continue.
I suggest that starting next year we drop the draft back down to 6 rounds. Or least start to alternate between 6 and 8 round drafts every other year.
Would love to hear everyones thoughts?

Yeah, I've thought the same thing. I kind of like the alternating thing...but wouldn't it just make more sense to do 7 rounds every year?

Well my preference would be to go back down to six. If there are people that still want 8, I suggested alternating that way when we had 8 rounds the prospect pool would be deeper.

Id like to see it stay at 8 because it is one of the highlights of the year so the more the merrier. Everyone knows you don't HAVE to pick right? You can pass if there is no one available you like better than the guys you have so I really don't see the downside. Id rather see the prospect limit increased again.

I think we are thinning out the prospect pool and would be good going back to six but I don't mind the 8 round. I am poor enough at drafting that I always have crappy prospects to drop.
