The best thing for this league would be a rotating draft and I think the fairest option.

Like I said the only question is can we get SD to do it? Has anyone been in a league where this was done?

Being a former owner here I have been watching this thread with some interest, and the answer is YES.

Contact WillyD in the Frank Robinson League. They use something called the Wheel Draft, which is a rotating draft not based on won-loss or any other metric. He can give you all the details.

They do it with the whole 16 teams on some kind of rotation.

Nice to hear from you.
