2021 MLB Draft (FUBAR for KUMAR)

I don't expect much activity in here yet as, again, I'm being a bit premature on this... but...

I do love my draft talk (for the past 40 years...)!

The FUBAR for Kumar is pretty much a given at this point, not much to discuss there.

But one thing that does irk me and I wanna talk about it is any talk about a draft lottery in MLB. I've had enough of lotteries (especially after this year's Red Wings fiasco!) I have absolutely ZERO interest in a MLB lottery.

If there is any contention over this year's season being only 60 games and how that could distort next year's draft order; the only reasonable solution I see is to combine 2019 and 2020 records to determine the 2021 draft order. And I'm not just saying that because Detroit had the #1 pick last year. For all teams, from top to bottom, with 2020 being such a weird season: the only way I would feel a sense of fairness in determining 2021 would be to take the last full season - the closest approximation to where a team's talent level truly is - and add it to 2020. There may be a few exceptions (teams) that want something different, because they would benefit; but I believe the vast majority of teams would agree to a 2019/20 combination.

And if there's no combination of 2019/20 then, I'm all too happy to just go by 2020 records alone. Let the chips fall where they may.

Just my 2 cents.
