Putting this to a vote. How do you guys want to determine the 2021 draft order?
With a 60 game season (which is not how MLB is supposed to be played) and quite a few of us not really managing our rosters I was wanting to shake things up some and use a weighted draft generator to determine the draft order. If its decided to use a weighted draft lottery generator all 16 teams will be involved in this process.

I’m personally in favor of the old school approach but am cool with either.

I voted for the weighted system. So many owners tanked this year or didn't care, they weren't even setting rosters after a few weeks. The season was short sure, but the entire format was changed also. (head to head vs roto). This is a non championship year and some guys knew that right away and tanked. Weighted is the fairest for everyone.
Don't vote for whats best for you, do whats best for the league. (I'm middle of the pack so odds are it won't impact me whatsoever just FYI)

.what we need is 40 man roster because injuries are becoming too much! I don't think injuries are a problem, this was just an extraordinary year when it came to that. Besides we already have a 35 man roster plus 25 prospects. I currently don't see there being 80 more useable players out there in free agency during the season.

gambles yes but that's not what I said. There are not 80 more in season contributors out there.
Prime example of something that benefits an individual team and not the league as a whole. As a league it makes zero sense to give teams 5 more spots to take $1 gambles on, hoping they hit on something.

You can say that this was a "non-championship" year but to me the downside of having a shortened season was counteracted by changing the scoring settings. If anything, having a weird season encourages everyone to make a run for it and if this season didn't truly count then we shouldn't have played or we should have set the rules and changes before the season.
Tanking is a part of team management. If you don't think your team has a chance, why wouldn't you want to try and improve your team by getting younger and cheaper. The issue of lack of involvement by some teams is definitely annoying and a problem but I don't know if making a weighted lottery is the solution to that. My view is to keep it as is but if most people want a lottery, I think changing it every round is more fair.

Thats how it should be , this will force owners to be more active specially those rebuilding that want to stash players for next year !!! if others dont see it than they dont wanna compete simple and probly stay sucking for ever. Plus its "Real Baseball"aint that what yall crying always when putting sum new rules.

LOL most guys didn't even use their 8 moves this year! (thanks again for that one mike! My left over cap that was supposed to help me make moves through the season to win became a disadvantage)
At first I would say someone "throwing" the league doesn't deserve the first pick but I also see the other side.
1) We encourage tanking and selling off by letting the worst record get the 1st pick. In the future, I do think we should implement a "toilet bowl" where the winner of the losers bracket get 1st pick. I think we underestimate the stats "given away" by tanking teams. Meaning players that go unsigned because guys are tanking which there are many examples of. The most recent impact player that comes to mind is Voit.
2) I actually think that someone could have been "playing by our rules" and tanking, (which I disagree with), but made moves in order to get that pick so taking it away doesn't seem right.

So 5 extra roster spots are going to force teams to be more active when they are already not filling their current 35 and/or managing what they currently have? Let's be honest here, most owners have been here long enough to know how they're going to operate. The owners that are not very active will more than likely stay that way regardless if there are 35 to 40 spots.

If you dont wanna compete dont gamble leave the players for me . This will also help with people overpaying in FA. And im sure if it was 40 most owners would have used all their signings . Its bcuz they couldnt drop or to afraid to drop someone that they didnt use them.
