The FFTs have proposed the idea of having a post-draft free agent signing of sorts. For all those wanting to stay up past the final draft pick, you could continue taking players - as many as you want or some specified number - which you would then have to, of course, cut when narrowing your roster down to 30.
This would be something like the NFL does. As soon as the last team drafting has made their last pick, all undrafted players are fair game. It might come in handy if you finished drafting and suddenly realized you didn't have enough at bats to cover the catcher position or something. The FFTs just like to cut a lot of guys after spending the night looking at their cards.
We'd need some rules to determine who gets to pick when. Probably just stay in draft order among the teams who want to participate.
It would seem harmless enough. Most teams have started passing when they get to the last two optional picks anyway, so not everyone wants more players. And as long as the selections happened AFTER the last official drafter was finished, I see no harm. I would suggest that an earlier deadline than usual be made for announcing cuts - like by Saturday afternoon - for any team taking part in the free agent signings. Your roster has to be down to 25 by the time you play your first game, anyway.
The other thing I'm suggesting - and no one has mentioned this to me - is that the SuperGoofs be allowed to change his ballpark if he so chooses this year. Now, he may not want to, but it seems only fair that he be given that option. Especially since it's a long time before we switch parks again.

Free agency is moot. OU Drillers have already made an agreement with the Strat-O-Matic Carded Players Union stating, "any undrafted free agents become property of OU Roustabouts, a subsidiary of OU Driller inc."
We already have the extra picks to cover screw ups. I suppose we could take all the undrafted cards into 15 bundles, cover a nude Terry with canola oil, and each team take turns pelting him with a bundle of cards. Anything that sticks he can have. Might keep me from going to bed early anyway!
Alright, we're lost.
Why does the DrillerDude want to see a nude Terry covered in Canola oil? This is weird, even in our world...
I guess time and trend has passed over the Baptist Bowl. We still like looking at nude girls. With or without oil.
Don't we know it Inmate man. You might need to annex an external hard drive to hold all of us.
Another rule issue to consider - Hal says now when using the hit & run chart, a lineout on the pitcher's card becomes lineout max. That becomes a NASOMA rule unless rejected by two-thirds vote. For what it's worth, I'm good with the new rule.
Now, back to nude women.

A good rule change, Fungoes agree with Norm.
Now by all means, back to the nude women!
I would just like to draft to my alotted picks thru round 15. course that would be after the main draft, and I collected all the $1 bills from my being naked at the draft.
haha

on a hit and run, there ARE no rolls on the batter's card, so ALL lineouts would result in lineout max. including ballpark single outs, i'm assuming. i'm fine with this. i can't imagine a lineout on a hit and run NOT resulting in runners being doubled off.
