A Note About the McC Draft

Since this is the time of year the McCovey Chronicles Draft usually happens, it seems like a good time to have a FanPost about it!

As the person who has generally organized and run the draft for the past few years (with some helpers along the way!), it's my opinion that it would be best if the draft NOT take place at its usually time and instead be held until after Opening Day. There are so many question marks, variables and so much roster churning that it seems a bit futile to draft a player who might end up on the Twins by mid-March.

However, I would also like to gauge interest in continuing the draft as it's traditionally been done. The amount of people who draft/check in on their draftees has decreased quite a bit over the years and while I love that the draft is a thing that we do, it is a bit work intensive for something that barely gets referred to the rest of the year (which is another change since the early days of the draft).

Consider this a place to chime in on how important continuing the draft is to you, any changes you might want to see to the process should it continue and any other opinions about it!

Thanks all!
