Re-Sign Values Should Be Updated

Perhaps this issue got blurred in the discussion of RP or I missed it entirely.  In any case, I will state my concerns with the system as is.  Good players on teams with high caps will be under-priced, because they will never hit free agency.  For example, Posey should be a 23m per year player based on Mauer's contract when the latter was a C, but the A's will likely extend him in perpetuity based on a contract that was likely signed nearly 10 years ago.  The same thing will happen with Stanton, Trout, Harper, or any other top player.

The only way this situation gets fixed is if a top player hits free agency and get bid up.  That's not likely to happen in this league based on past history, because few teams have the cap space or the desire to spend 25-30m annual salary on a player.

Do we really want the top players to stay with their current teams at under market salaries for life?

You should have brought this up four months ago in August when Flash was putting constant posts about changes.  I think the ship has sailed on the changes and there is no reason to bring this back up when it was fixed months ago.  This comes down to activity in this league.  There were almost daily posts made about this as well as PM's from Flash.  I think there is no reason to rehash this again.  Objections to these changes should have been made when Flash asked the league about it.

Thank you Chris!
I was away this afternoon but I was half way expecting this reaction.
Roy, you brought this subject up earlier in the year and it did have a whole lot of merit. When the time came around and it was addressed- Where were you? Getting involved after the fact doesn't count.
Sorry, Ernie and I have put countless hours into trying to make this league better and I've given up on the political correctness- You get out of it what you put into it. We are trying our damnedest to keep this ship afloat-  Either lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
My apologizes to the rest of the league
