Pitching vs. Hitting
Current Worth vs. Potential
Platoon vs. Two-Way Players
This would allow you to get a team a little more in line with your preferences.
At the extreme, you could allow owners to customize their player rating. As an example, instead of ranking pitchers by the default method (equal weight to velocity and control), I might want to give more weight to pitchers with better control, making my ranking system for pitchers 40% velocity and 60% control.

It would be nice to have a little more control over the draft specifications. I like the best available vs. totally balanced choice -- a few other choices would be welcome. Some possibilities:Pitching vs. Hitting

Also, in a similar vein but perhaps slightly easier to implement - allow for different strategies for picking the major league roster and the minor league roster. That way you could draft the best available major league players but then draft a balanced minor league system
I agree

I would definitely like to see more control over how players are drafted. I find that a large portion of my enjoyment from simulated leagues comes from being able to control who shows up on my team and the skills that I build around.Also, in a similar vein but perhaps slightly easier to implement - allow for different strategies for picking the major league roster and the minor league roster.

I think I'm leaning towards the idea of customizing your player rating scale. I may be able to include a few extra factors as well. Should be fun to implement.

Once a league is filled, send all the owners a notice that the draft will be live (preferably on a weekend) in a week's time. If an owner cannot do the draft, then let the computer choose for them using the ratings system. Give each team 2 minutes (for the 1st 5 rounds, then 1 minute after) to choose a player or the simulation engine chooses at the end of the time. Or if the user is not logged on, instead of waiting the minute or two, the computer automatically chooses.

I don't know how difficult this would be, but how about picking a time to do the draft. Could the simulation entire generate the players and draft order, then allow the league members to conduct a live draft? This would cut down on specifying strategies for minor VS major league players, etc...Once a league is filled, send all the owners a notice that the draft will be live (preferably on a weekend) in a week's time.
