Mental Experiment Regrading International Players

10 times out of 10 you do this. Name me a draft where you bring in talent on par with Moncada, Alvarez, Eddy Julio Martinez, Hector Olivera and any of the other countless top 16-year-olds. At best, you'll get one or two prospects of that caliber in the draft each year. You'd also have exclusive negotiating rights, so the cost of this talent would drop off a cliff.

Also, you're totally screwing over the other 29 franchises who would have no access to any international talent. Even if a bunch of talent goes unsigned by your team, the others can't sign them so they'd lose a year of development on these kids.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is before realizing he meant from now on. That makes it even more ridiculously obvious. You're seriously cutting out an insane amount of talent from the other teams. Even if you don't have room to sign all the talent, nobody else ever will be able to in this scenario. There is literally no way the answer is to take the draft picks.

Agreed.
