FA Discussion Thread

I would like to make two points:

1.  The salary grids were based on real life contracts, and the largest of those contracts were based on relief pitchers who accumulated SAVES, not the stats we are using.
2.  I am almost certain that relief pitchers are exempt from first round compensation.

Ding, ding, ding.

1) The saves part doesn't bother me.  It's up to real-life GMs to not overpay for saves.
2) If relievers are indeed exempt from first round compensation then we need to fix this ASAP.

I hope you are not referring to Alcides Escobar who averaged a whopping 1.92 points per game last year at a price of 6M per for 4 years, lol.

I'm referring to him yes I don't expect huge numbers just needed a starter. With that said I expect better then last year
