I'm experimenting with doing my own Draft AI and distributing the players based on that. I chose this after Reed reported that pitcher
Gus Dorner was taken ahead of
Joe Tinker and
Johnny Evers in a 1901 straight historical amateur draft. That (to me) is bizarre. That's with the "Use pre-defined draft value for AI" box checked. With it unchecked I saw Babe Ruth go 8th overall in a historical random debut. Let me repeat that:
Babe Ruth went 8th. As far as I'm concerned, you're damned if you do check the box, and damned if you don't. It's a helluva lot of work (especially the inaugural draft!), but I think in the end it'll be worth it. Now, I don't manage a team when I do this, so I don't have to worry about if my system totally screws my team over, so keep that in mind. I'll probably be posting my first five rounds of the inaugural draft when I finally get around to it and start up my new historical random debut thread. It'll be a while though. File it under "Coming Attractions".
