NOTE With that last vote, Option 3 moves to 16 votes for. Option 1 has 2. At 16, the vote closes, so option 3 is winner Thanks everyone for voting.. it is now closed
Thanks everyone for the good discussion. To briefly recap, there are plenty of unsigned major league free agents that did not find themselves in our player pool for the draft. Guys like Alex Cobb, Logan Morrison, and recently signed Todd Frazier. We lock the pool from unsigned players so college guys and others can't be picked up. In the future , we can lock them out after the draft! Anyway, some great ideas were shared. Let's just vote.
1. Increase the time post draft to one week before free agency opens. Allow the usual faab bidding on these players. (Would provide list to everyone ahead of time)
2. Set up an auction. Find a location to do an auction, and auction these players off one at a time (out of everyone's faab $100 yearly budget). Would likely be a slow auction, but we will have time.
3. Auction / faab blend. For one week, auction off a player per day out of each teams faab budget (the top 7 available players, ie frazier, Cobb, etc). Then open usual waiver process and faab for the remaining players. (Lesser types)
In all these cases I believe every team would have an equal chance at each player. Some may want to spend big, some won't. But the opportunity is equal. I can see merits to all three options. So let's just vote. Voting ends when majority is reached or when draft is over.

My $0.02
FAAB will be by far the easiest to run/manage and as someone helping run the league my head goes there.
As a manager in the league I want the auction so I dont have to over spend on players or set up a bunch of conditional claims.

I completely understand both points you make. As soon as I find the poll I’ll vote for #3 (I’m sure it’s user error and I’ll find it soon)

Me too, no vote option but it looks like it doesn't matter with #3 running away with things. Option #1 is my second choice. I don't see #2 working with 30 guys.

I completely forget my username so I am not allowed to vote. My top choice is option 1, but I would be fine with option 3 as well.

I voted for option 3. I'm the one who discovered this problem and sent the list. I have found a few more players to add to the list and will send those names and any others I find to the rest of you this weekend.
