Hey guys,

One of my online leagues that just converted to 14 for the current season, and draft pool was absolutely ridiculous. We're talking like 4-5 draft classes worth of talent. Just to give a quick idea of what it was like, we had 46 SPs with 4.5 stars or better quality (although this includes a good amount of 2-pitch pitchers) and 65 hitters with 4.5 stars or better quality (103 with 4 stars or better).

For a bit of background on the league, it is a MLB league, it utilizes feeder leagues, we are currently in our 4th season, the previous drafts were relatively normal in overall talent for a MLB league, and like I said, we had just converted to 14 from 13 for this season.

So with all that said, I have 2 questions:

1. What would cause this pool to be so incredibly deep? Is it a problem with the feeder leagues?

2. How are these prospects going to develop? Will far less develop in order to keep the the talent level of the league balanced, or will a normal % of the prospects reach potential, thus destroying the balance of talent?

Any answers or thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
