Title: No More Draft Pick Trading (2011) & Loss of RFA Compensation
Post by: Colby on March 24, 2010, 11:40:40 AM
The RC has officially closed the books on weeks of conversation that led to the following rule changes.  These changes tie much more closely with MLB and simply make this league better.

1) Draft picks are not allowed to be traded for the 2011 draft onward.

2) RFAs are to be classified as Type A, B, or a regular RFA.  Type A FA (as dictated by MLB is a player in the top 20% of their position).  Type B FA are the next 20%. 

Therefore, for Franchise GM, Type A FA are:
Top 12 MI, CI
Top 15 OF
Top 30 SP
Top 36 RP

Type B FA are:
13th - 24th ranked MI, CI
16th - 30th ranked OF
31st - 60th ranked SP
37th - 72nd ranked RP

3) As long as you bid on your own RFA during the RFA bidding period, then you are eligible to extra compensation if you lose the player.

4) If the player was a Type A FA, then you will receive the winning team's 1st round pick and gain a supplemental pick (After 1st round, before 2nd).

5) If the player was a Type B FA, then you will receive a supplemental pick.

6) Order of supplemental picks is based solely on fantasy points scored in the previous season of each RFA lost.

7) If one team wins bids on multiple Type A FA, then the player with the most points is the one that has a team receive the 1st rounder.  The other teams will receive two supplemental picks.

Does the compensation for losing RFAs take effect now or next year? 

For example, obviously this rule was not in effect at the time that I chose not to bid on Marlon Byrd who was one of my RFAs.

I forgot to put that one in there... yes, the first 15 picks of the 1st round are considered protected.  Compensation for an RFA lost to one of these teams would be two supplemental picks.
