If anyone wanted to calculate VORP for our league, the best way to do compensation is top 125 based on VORP so we can eliminate positional scarcity (or lack there of) as a factor.
I think we should have a separate discussion for trading draft picks - this is something the league has voted on in the past, where as the change in RFA rules is a new discussion.
Not sold on dropping singing bonuses so quickly. Again, this is a topic that came up for debate and the league voted. At the time, the current rules were made because in MLB teams have budgets to cover all of their spending and our salary cap is meant to emulate that (regardless of their 40 man roster), and we've discussed at length the need for teams to plan accordingly. Part of this league is budgeting based on how you want to build your team, as MLB teams need to. Billy Beane doesn't get a magical pile of cash just for the draft or international scouting, has one budget and allocates funds between draft or international signing bonuses and his MLB salaries as he sees fit. Now MLB is restricting the amount he can spend on the draft, but the money still comes from his total budget. To my knowledge, the circumstances around this have not changed.
Agree that any changes should not affect this years free agency class, since teams have already potentially made moves (or lack of giving someone up) based on current RFA rules. As usual, we should make changes 1+ year out.
