Hist Leagues - Ammy draft or not?
Find out if people like to import players onto their historical teams or if they enjoy the opportunity to draft from the well of historical players.
I'll make a prediction and say about 2:1 prefer to hold an ammy draft. |

I run the draft. I don't play historical leagues to get the same results as history, I like taking it in a different direction.

I always play "What if" type historical leagues, so I always have the draft.

How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you. |

Basically, before the amateur draft, amateur players were free agents who could sign with any major league team (of course, once signed, they then fell under the reserve clause). The result was some pretty fierce bidding for these amateur free agents which naturally gave the more financially well off teams an advantage. (Things got so bad in the signing bonus wars that MLB passed various rules to try and curb the spending sprees, though with little success.)
