Rule-5 Draft

[rizzos]

I'm past this point, but it was recommended I post it here anyway.


I'm in offseason at Winter meetings.
--I change the default date of the Rule-5 Draft (late December in game), to this year's real date during the meetings.
--I turn Commissioner Mode off, give drafting and full control to all AI teams (except 1, my team)
--Then advance a day to the day of draft...

DRAFT:
-- There is a player pool of >1700 players.
-- First pick is Atlanta... but the YANKEES draft Kyle Higashioka (C)
-- For the next 4 picks the Yankees pick and select him each time.
-- Until pick 6, belongs to Cincinnati, and the WHITE SOX draft Kevan Smith (C)
-- Pick 7, Minnesota, White Sox pick Kevan Smith again.
-- Then pick 8, Detriot's, the Yankees draft Higashioka again. Until the White Sox pick Kevan Smith again at pick 10...
-- It goes on like this until my pick, in which one of those two is always the recommendation, and they are both available and able to be drafted by me.
-- Then the Yankees pick him again and so on...

*Kevan Smith really is already in the White Sox system, and Kyle Higashioka is really already in the Yankees system.

**Even good prospects are available. Anyone I draft, whether I pick one of Smith/Higashioka, or anyone else, seems to have very strong trade value--if I "shop him around," I get some all-star offers.
