I've had a couple of random ideas about the league, and Curt
thought I should post them over here. So just my 10 cents on a
couple of things . . .
1. I'd like for us to come up with ways to play up division
titles and make them more meaningful. I think it's pretty cool
how we have North, South, East and West divisions that are
pretty well aligned with where we're all geographically located,
and it seems like there ought to be ways to promote division
rivalries and have some bragging rights based on that.
I believe CBS allows you to give out awards for teams besides
just awarding the League Champion, so if we handed out awards on
CBS for division title winners, I think that would be one good
way to promote it. There might be some other good ideas the
Circle or someone else can come up with, but that's one thought
I had.
I just think there's a lot of opportunity to have something cool
going on if we have some stability in the four divisions we have
and if we can start promoting division or sectional rivalries.
Just like in the NFL where winning the NFC North has some
special bragging rights to go along with it, you can have the
same type of thing going on with the BBFL South or BBFL West,
etc. Plus it gives more teams something to play for late in the
season if, for instance, the League Champion pretty much has the
league wrapped up with a month or two to go in the season.
2. I'm honestly not a big fan of trading future year's draft
picks. It's just encouraging teams to play for future years
instead of the current season, and as confusing as it already us
keeping up with what current year picks have been dealt,
throwing future year draft picks in the mix just makes it even
more confusing. Trading for 2015 picks before the 2014 season
has even started just doesn't seem to be all that healthy of a
thing for the league either. I think that's something that
probably needs to be re-evaluated at the next winter meetings.

I like the giving more weight to the division winner idea. I'm
sure there's a pretty good reason why since this league has been
around a while, but, why no playoffs? A month with 2 2 week
rounds a-piece would work. I know it might be unfair to a guy
like boris who blows away the field circa 2013 to lose then, but
that happens all the time in real baseball. Anything can happen
then. Though I guess thinking on it, that cuts the season a
month short for the rest of the guys. But they can still play
as they normally would. Gets pretty slow around that time
anyhow.

Would be neat if there was a way to incorporate a playoff system
that was fair and should not include anyone south of the
Miami.... :)
I also agree that trading picks a year ahead of time is not
sound for the league and should be discontinued immediately. We
all know that things come up and people have to drop out most
every year and it just isn't fair for someone to step into a
situation where the previous owner traded picks a year ago.
Circle I encourage a hard look at this immediately and even
though trades have been made let's stop this from happening in
the future ASAP.
