Then you would be incorrect. Chesp is a good example and by his own words
stunk the last 2 yrs but has been to the playoffs and in 2005 MELBOURNE beat
Chesapeake Highlanders in 7 games. Lou has been the only manager for Chesp and
if you research his draft this year had the best draft of anyone and should be
a force very soon for years to come. He also traded after the draft for
Tommy Hanson, and Clayton Kershaw so don't tell me that teams don't trade
but either. It is true that lately the new managers are trading less but that
is up to them. Also teams have changed names everything they get a new manager
so even if you recd the last 5 yrs only a few would have same names so you
would be able to follow them. I have listed 07 and 04 and you will see GEN
near 500 in 04 but the manager didn't like the draft picks and trade them all
or most away. His final season he finally realized the value of those draft
picks. (I my self had with the very last pick of the NOMBL draft pick # 200
drafted Brian McCann! NOTE: in 04 there was NO U stink draft it was something
that was suppose to be a 1 year thing to help only the worst teams! Bottom
line is teams can, do, and have gone worst to near 1st but those that put in
the effort get the reward. This also has to do with how much effort is put
into the CMI. Those that don't fill out the chart for each player/pitcher
separately have problems winning because the bull pen is over used and picked
at random to pitch or starters can be limited to 6 or 7 IP per start. However
most teams don't fill them out and wonder why their pitchers get used up so
quickly.
Bottom line there is many reasons why teams win or don't win.

I think Mike has a very good email here. I would be very curious to see the
final results of the last 5 years. I would say if the majority of bottom teams
stay on bottom there is a problem. What I have seen in the last 2 years of
drafting is that a lot of the stinky teams end up spending thier high draft
picks on desperate need for innings just to get through the year and not really
getting an opportunity to pick up the players that will help thier team
improve. I don't know if there is an answer out there but I don't think the
"pity draft" really helps the lower teams enough. Maybe some kind of
supllamental round after the first round for teams that have been in the bottom
8 two years in a row or something.
