Isn't that what we are doing?I prefer lifting the length clause after a year, but life is all about compromise

I vote we dismantle the current league and start over.
no offense, but if we dismantle the current league, that's prolly the end of all leagues
Sure, but they also get that player for a lower rate and get to keep him longer than they may otherwise. Sure the risk is there, but I don't think it hurts low budget teams. I think it hurts them more to not allow them to sign friendly deals.I also think the pre-arb contracts favor the high budget teams, not small, since their risk is non-existent.
What's Wooly care if he has to pay someone $7.5m and they die? That's one IFA player. His risk is if he was to repeat his 10 WAR season, he'd be a $20m a year player.
But if 10% of a small teams budget is wasted, that's a huge knock. At least if their player becomes great and they can't afford him, they can ship him out for more assets.
I really don't see a problem with wooly's contact. If it wasn't wooly I imagine it doesn't get brought up. This is part of the reason I disagree that commishes should not make executive decisions. Mob rule is not really a good thing. When a disliked manager does something questionable or has something not go their way, the league is pretty irrational. NML you have even been subject to this. I also think the contract is an outlier and we won't see many.
No pre-arb contracts will kill immersion for many. It also hurts small budget teams.
I think IFA can probably be better handled. What is your proposal there? Probably a better place to spend time.
There is some truth to this, but the way the GMs feel about another GM should not stop the commishes from treating them fairly.That's kind of his own fault, though.

So?Be fair. @doh is my copilot/PTP and I called him out on Lexington Steele last season.
I'll let you have Vreke if you turn back the clock to UBL Yankee trading with OU.Doh used to be my PTP until he didn't trade us Vreke!
That's just like your opinion, manSome of the financial logic in these ideas are totally bizarre to me if the idea is "help poor, punish rich"...
Its LOSERS!Petition to rename LEAGUE OF LOSERS to LEAGUE OF ORANGE SLICES
38 i thinkWe started in 37 tho right?
Nah let's have the league bail everyone out. Socialism rulez.People who whine about budgets just need to git gud. The only thing limiting a team's rise in the rankings from the welfare state it's in is the owner's dumbass money management. Barring that, it's just waiting for the build to come to fruition.
If the only negative of a hard IFA cap for the small market teams is that the big markets are going to spend more money retaining and spending in FA, that's a good trade off to me to me.
I'm the one who always argues for the level playing field, but I've been a top half budget team for a while now
