And when they changed the international draft I brought it up as well (can't remember where, might not have been on this site).  But yeah, it's absolutely an idea worth exploring.  Some people don't like change, but with a fixed cap for spending and rules to mandate that you DO spend within X percent of that cap, and decreasing the amount that winning teams get to spend on draftpicks so they Yankees can't buy all the prospects with their war chest... why keep a rigid draft order?  It's not like the NFL draft, there are 40 rounds of this sucker. Do we really need rounds at all?
It's not a bad proposition.  Now, some players may take less money to go play for the Yankees instead of the hapless Royals.  Can you address that? Potentially.  Should you? Good question.
It's actually a topic I wouldn't mind talking more about, but with the draft over the rest of this week there no way I really have time.
If you wanted to jump off of that article as a starting point and post a guest article here on your ideas on domestic draft changes, GLS, you're more than welcome to do that.  There won't be any trashing. :-) We want MORE interesting topics to discuss, not fewer.
Please feel free!
