Are we going to have protected picks just like MLB?
We allow trading of RFA. Small market teams are granted more RFA tags. This helps the rebuilding as you can use an RFA tag on a high value FA and earn a supplemental pick on them if they don't sign with your team. Other than that, simply trading for prospects and putting bonus money toward top prospects (scouting) will help turn around a team in the future.
Trading RFAA player may be traded while tagged as RFA during the off-season period in which free agency has not begun. The player then must be signed to a contract extension by the new team.
What and how are picks protected?
And if a team signs multiple Type A RFA's, I believe the picks are awarded based on the ranking of the players lost- We'll need to not actually move picks until all RFA's have been finalized- Need a way to determine which RFA's were ranked higher across positions- What happens for the team that had the lesser ranked RFA? Do they get the signing team's 2nd round pick? An extra S1?
I'd be fine with total points, but Points per Game would weigh SP's too highly (play far fewer games):In 2008:Tex: 3827 PTS, 25PTS/GMCC: 2654 PTS, 76 PTS/GMAJ: 2270 PTS, 65 PTS/GMOrder for the Supplemental Round does go by ranking of the RFA's lost.I'd say we give teams that don't get the signing team's 1st (either because the signed a higher ranked RFA, or the pick was protected because the signing team was in the top 15), then we give them an additional S1. We'll award the S1's based on RFA rankings, and then after those grant additional S1's again using RFA ranking where needed:1-ATL (from NYY)S1-ATLS1-MILS1-TORS1-MILS1-TORMy reasoning is if Toronto loses a Type A RFA, why should they only get a 3rd rounder just because their guy signed with NYY, but if he signed somewhere else they'd get a 1st (even before the supplemental)?
