"makes it impossible to INTELLIGENTLY plan offseason moves such as trades involving FA's, rookie draft selections and even possibly roster cuts."

We are talking about the same thing, right. The FA draft. I've been playing for close to 10 years, and I don't think the FA draft has ever had that kind of effect.

You grab 2-3 relievers, 2-3 bench guys, and 2-3 prospects. Thats it.
