I like it. the 25% over age 35 rule would be good too.

A problem I see is in weird circumstances, or maybe a rookie FA that came out of nowhere on an expiring contract. Or a guy who was out two years with tommy john. Say hypothetically Max Muncy was signed to a 1 year deal early in the 2018 season giving him a 2018 contract. He's had a nearly perfect fantrax score, does paying the tippy top of the market make sense? Just a strange scenario there, but things like that could pop up.

If you focus on real situations and calculate the contract figures, I think you’ll find it works pretty well. Might not be perfect but find a real guy and see how the $$ comes out. Probably won’t be as bad as you’re thinking

There needs to be consideration of the player's age, which should be a mitigating factor. There should be some reduction for a 35 year old coming off a very good year vs a 25 year old. Accordingly, I think that there should be an age discount.

Re-Read Rule that is included.

The rule states: Also on this, any player who is or turns 35 on or before opening day will be given a 25% discount. This way the system will take the age issue into consideration.

rock30 (Cardinals GM): Rangers to answer your question of #8, no we will not be using WP’s if rule is stated as such in 1TC, another league some of us are in. Myself, Joey, Yankees, not sure of anyone else in here. Dec 8, 2022 13:16:25 GMT -6

rock30 (Cardinals GM): As for the player being designated with an IR on Fantrax, the answer is no. We will have to provide a link stating that player is out for a week or even out for the rest of the season. Dec 8, 2022 13:19:22 GMT -6

Rangers GM (Pete): I didn't think of it until now, maybe a shorter resign should cost more annually since the commitment and risk is less. Which is usually true in real life. Just a thought to consider next time we review rules. Feb 5, 2023 12:43:38 GMT -6
