Subject: straw poll
I think we already know how this "Sense of the League" poll is going to end up, but here goes: Yes or No: "Owners should be permitted to trade draft picks." The reason for the re-prohibition on trading draft picks was our concern that draft picks can be used to make an unbalanced trade appear to be balanced. It has also been our experience that the teams with the good #1 draft picks (i.e., the weaker teams) tend not to retain those picks but rather deal them, often for less than fair value. When that happens, as we have seen innumerable times, the weak teams tend to stay weak, and the strong teams tend to stay strong, leading to disenchantment and owner turnover. And with the very strong 1972 draft coming right up, we feared that more than a few "shrewd" trades along those lines would be made. But I am also concerned that not being able to deal picks penalizes the weaker teams too; for example, we saw the Expos go from being a cellar-dwelling expansion team in 1969 to a division champion in 1970 thanks to being able to deal picks for talent, and I see nothing wrong with what they did. However, if we do go back to being able to trade draft picks, it will likely be with at least SOME restriction, such as being able to trade picks in rounds 1-3 ONLY. Those lower picks are worth significantly less and therefore tend to be "window dressing" for borderline deals, which is what we are trying to avoid in the first place. Also keep in mind our scheme for penalizing overusage. It's not a very good one, but it's the best we could come up with and it depends on a team having draft picks around to pay their penalty with. If a team cannot pay, the penalty becomes much more severe. Alan |
