What are you guys' thoughts on the draft order for the upcoming drafts? Should we do reverse order of standings last year? Randomized? Weighted randomization? Based on average ranking of keepers (according to ESPN's prerankings? Any opinions on this?

I vote for randomize or weighted randomize. Reverse order of last years standings is uneven since a lot of the teams stopped playing throughout the year.

I'd say randomize, but explain weighted randomize to me?
Also, assuming this season goes smoothly, next years draft should be reverse order of previous season's standings snake draft.

yea. next season will definitely go by last years standings. weighted randomized sorda takes into account last seasons records. we talked about doing something like giving each team a set amount of "lottery numbers" between 1-50 with the teams that finished worst last year getting more "lottery numbers" then the ones that finished better. just like the nba draft sorda goes. then randomizing the numbers 1-50 and determining the order like that. something like this: using numbers 1-10 as a small example TEAM A-1,3,5,6,10 TEAM B-2,7,8 TEAM C-4,9 randomized numbers stream comes out-3,1,7,8,5,2,10,4,6,9 TEAM A would get 1st pick TEAM B would get 2nd pick TEAM C would get 3rd pick now it came out what you would expect but there is a chance some teams could get lower in this instance and some higher. the numbers would be randomized on a 3rd party site. www.random.org/sequences/^^^^^^probably that one^^^^^^ i actually just thought of going straight randomized because last seasons standings were so skewed cause of inactivity amongst the owners we had. we had 16 owners but in reality 5-7 were playing. i think just a straight randomizing of the first round and then going snake from there would take a great chunk of work out of it for us. randomized would just be something like this. TEAM A-4 TEAM B-6 TEAM C-1 TEAM D-3 TEAM E-2 TEAM F-5 Randomized stream comes out-2,4,6,1,5,3 TEAM A-2nd Pick TEAM B-3rd Pick TEAM C-4th pick TEAM D-6th pick TEAM E-1st pick TEAM F-5th pick whoever won the "lottery" could then choose if they would like the first pick in the MLB draft or the MiLB draft. Whichever one the winner picked would then determine the other drafts order. If the winner picks 1st pick in the MLB draft they would then pick last in the MiLB draft. When more people join up here we'll get more opinions but thats the gist of things.

Thanks. I definitely think it should just be randomized order.

I would say go with randomized order since there are a lot of new owners this year.
