The Slow Draft format is a Draft Champions League and in fact we'll rename it to the NFBC Draft Champions National Championship in 2013.

If you are asking whether we could do a Draft Champions League in baseball like we do in football where the computer picks your optimal scoring lineup each day, no that's not possible. How would the computer know if you wanted the guy with 2 home runs or the guy with 2 stolen bases? How would it know if you wanted the pitcher who got the Win but gave up 5 Earned Runs in 6 innings or the guy who got no decision but threw 8 shutout innings? It's just too tough to do for baseball. Instead, we let you have no in-season moves and just set your starting lineup each week.

Make sense?
