The current system allows us to also speculate on minors that were drafted and dropped. My view: Placing ALL players on waivers is like playing checkers, removing minor players that were drafted then dropped from the pool is like chess and the current system is like playing multi-level chess. The later separates the NFBC from other games. Please keep the level of challenge high!
Scott Good post Scott. I hope you don't mind that I used your name as an example, but as you stated yesterday you drafted him with this thought process in mind. Good analogy.

i vote to keep current rule. i also vote that to change the rule you need over 1/2 of players to change the rule- not half of the votes.

One thing you are missing on these "hot prospects" is that most of them are HYPE and people end up wasting hundreds and hundreds of dollars on them because they are forced to wait to pick them up and it turns into a feeding frenzy.
if people were allowed to pick them up at any point in time, it wouldn't be as crippling when s.castro or EY2 turn into major league bums. in the current system you are forcing people to spend hundreds and hundred of dollars to acquire players who have done well in the minors but haven't done squat in the majors.
In this case, you further add to the feeding frenzy (which is fine by me
) by saying Holland might be their best chance to improve their staff. Really?? Remember how bad he did last year. Is there a chance people are gonna get burnt by Holland, of course.
just an opinion.
