Quote:Since draft picks are younger and cheaper, it's better (in general) to get your star players with draft picks rather than through free agency. So that means you go BAP with your draft picks because that would give your draft picks the best chance to succeed. So I would use free agency to fill holes in the roster. That takes positional need out of the drafting equation, and allows you to draft BAP.

This is just speaking in general. There would be lots of exceptions to this.

But wouldn't all of the draft rationales for BAP apply to free agency? Why would you allow a superior player to go to a competitor? Wouldn't taking the best players irrespective of need or position lead to a better roster over time?

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
