A lot of "projects" in my opinion which should make variable development stand out even more for those looking with multiple picks.
Anybody else have any thoughts...overall i'm not disappointed to have traded away my 1st round pick this year. I don't see much outside of maybe 10-12 players...

Looks to be a decent number of quality pitchers in the draft. Watson looks to be a pretty good major league ready hitter.A lot of "projects" in my opinion which should make variable development stand out even more for those looking with multiple picks.

I' holding multiple picks so I'm somewhat disappointed in the depth and quality of the amateur pool. Who knows, though? Maybe a couple of surprises once the improvement chances come.

Its a decent crop of pitchers, nothing to write home about. But the position players are very lacking. One dude with power, but no speed. Everything else looks like a cross your fingers and hope the variable development gods bless you.

The previous league owners had a much better idea of what the development "pattern" for all of the players is, so they have a better gauge on talent/worth.
The low talent teams (speaking) will have a harder time making up the gap because of some of the "luck" involved....

Which is why new "clone" leagues (and new leagues in general) are always interesting.The previous league owners had a much better idea of what the development "pattern" for all of the players is, so they have a better gauge on talent/worth.

Or easier time if they get the better end of some of that luck... but yea probably a bit harder overall as most of the good players on the teams contending now were most likely not busts or any of the other bad curves.

Overall, harder. As you state, they may get lucky, but the good guys are already good, so they can only have good luck (late bloomer, ageless wonder, etc.).
And with the lower picks you want more consistency and predictability because you are (in theory) getting the better players to choose from. With variable development you lose that advantage.
Don't get me wrong--I like this system and that is why I joined. But it is/will be harder for bad teams over the first 10 years or so until the talent settles in...
