I think the 2nd bid must continue to be doubled. I get that it creates the top tier guys signing for cheaper, however it?s the closest possible way to make it equivalent to real baseball. It may allow a team to get 2 of the top players, because inevitably some teams don?t get on and post a player day 1, but it protects teams that would prefer to get 4 or 5 of the next tier players more than it impacts the top tier guys.
A rule I?d like to change is the necessity of posting a link to baseball reference for non-J2 FA signings. Mostly, the posting of a link for a J2 players doesn?t impact someone looking up info and stealing a player. However, in the regular season, the posting of a link, just takes away the bonus of doing research. I want to protect the owners willing to do research and find teams and try to prevent the teams that just see a posted player, click on the link and see the player has 15 homers and the bidding on him.
