I hate the idea of doubling J2 bids. Say someone works during the day and does not have access as soon as a player signs. So say a Kevin Maitan or Eloy Jimenez signs and someone bids 3m while I'm at work, then I can't bid. That's not right. The top players aren't even discovered. Everyone knows who they are so the first person to place a bid shouldn't necessarily get the player. I think every team should be able to bid if they feel free to.
Hi all,I am new to the league and am learning my way through these processes and all. I have a few things that I would like to propose for future seasons to make the league a little more competitive and realistic;1. waiver claims should be submitted in private. this would keep trolls from not jumping on claims just because others are. Not saying its happening but it could. Also, this would not inflate the value of the player to other claimers for purpose of trade. Seems odd a lot of these waiver players are not being shopped prior to being traded but that is a different conversation.2. Extensions for FA needs an overhaul. Here are some options...maybe discussion points; A. To be treated like Football's Franchise tags (1 year @ top 5 avg salary, each following year is a 25% increase)B. extension must be offered after year three of arb within extension matrix. non-arb must be extended before FA season at extension matrix amount per their percentile.C. Top 2 percentile in past 2 years decline extensions to make more in FA market. allows a bidding war with all teams.D. extensions must escalate each season. for example 10% additional per year. (18.9M year one, 20.8 year two, 22.9 year three, ect.)3. FA and International signing to be private. Teams should not know how much other's are bidding...maybe only allowed to know what place they are in or just put your best offer in and let the dice fall as they may!These may cause the commish more work which I really don't want to do; however, I'm trying to think of ways to make the league more competitive and allow teams multiple ways to build or potentially ruin their franchises. If nothing else, maybe its fun discussion.Chime in and let's hear your opinions.-Jeff
