In post #31, I agreed that the new system is fine, i.e. produces results that I like. The issue is how we get there, not where we end up.
I would like to see more promise in the draft pool, with more prospects that are viewed through rose-colored glasses and then don't pan out. I would prefer fewer of these than we once had, but I still want to see prospects with (perhaps false) major league potential in round 4 myself. That would make the draft exercise more fun for me. I don't see why that would ruin the game for anyone. If it stays the way that it is, I will still be playing and enjoying the game. I just won't put as much time and money into the draft, and put more into scouting the minors.
The OP asked what the state of the draft was now. I don't see why negative opinions are not as valid as positive ones, especially considering the concept of "fun" is such a subjective one.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anyone say that your opinion, or anyone else's, isn't valid. People (myself included) are just saying why they don't like the type of draft you want, just like you're explaining why you don't like the way the draft currently works.
It's been a healthy discussion, as far as I'm concerned.
