This is way in advance, but just an idea to float:
What if next year, for draft order, we randomly select for choices? IE: whoever gets "first" doesn't just draft first, but gets to pick which slot first? I give everyone 24 hours to respond (if they can't do that, after being pinged, during Spring Training, that's on them), if they don't they take the earliest slot left.
