I recommend not doing it until after the Winter League ends.

I recommend trying to entice new GMs with the idea of a dispersal draft. I think if you let teams look at all the vacant rosters, and then tell the GMs that about the draft, that should entice at least a few to sign up.

We certainly don't have to do the dispersal draft now. With all the fast, positive input I've recieved, I would love for our GM's to do a final BIG PUSH for NEW GM's! With pitchers and catchers reporting more and more people will be getting the 'bug'. But let's do it, think of those friends/fans that can 'hang'. |

this dispersal draft would it be for all the remaining teams? and would all the MLB players be eligible to be drafted also? Also another idea just throwing it out there mayb we should use the standings from the winter league as the draft order worst record 1st pick best record last

I would lean towards doing the dispersal draft immediately.
The Winter League will not be over until Spring Training. Recruiting GM's and asking them to sit without a team for 2 months is not practical. I am talking to one potential GM already that should be introduced shortly.
The rosters that will participate in the dispersal draft are:
Yankees
Tigers
Brewers
Diamondbacks
Phillies
Royals

I'd be happy to take on the Yankees, Royals or Tigers, to remove any conflicts of interest.
Just tell me when.

are the available teams getting split up and put onto teams with managers?

are the available teams getting split up and put onto teams with managers? There are 6 empty teams. We have 5 existing GM's who will be acting as proxies for those empty teams and one new GM taking part in the draft. The idea is to try and balance those teams and make them look more attractive to prospective GM's. |
