Pre-1965 Drafts
i was curious what some of you historical simmers did for pre-1965, when there was no established draft in the MLB. personally, i like having a draft regardless of time period but for historical accuracy it just wasnt there.
presumably instead of a draft, the incoming rookies get dumped into the FA pool then its a free for all, first come, first served. does anyone follow this historical element in their games?
(and what makes things even more interesting is that the minors, at least early on, were fairly independent until branch rickey came along...so "developing" talent thru the draft and your farm system was really non-existent at first. seemed like a combination of money, scouting and luck).
