Grant and Hurl are on to something, and admin was in agreement. They feel that the draft, before, during and after, will generate a lot of discussion. There will be times of the year when discussion goes up and then down in the sub forum, quiet times being not a huge deal.
Also, more importantly, we are still hoping that the site grows, with more posters. It seems like this is happening actually, with several new contributors recently and a a lot of new threads. The site feels bigger and more complete by having the separate minors/prospects forum. For NOW, we are going to leave it as is. We will reconsider this around the all star break.
I will personally make more of a point of contributing to the discussion in the minors threads, and in policing that area too.
Thanks for the input everyone.
