That's stupid. Don't do that.
What I did was pretty much ignored everything other than the money and what team was the best fit. Also, I kind of ignored money after a certain point too. I remember one team offered Juan Uribe 4 years 60 and the other team offered him 5 years 65. Since we all know that kind of money for Uribe is absurd, I just ignored the money and went with the best fit. Just sign FA's to teams with good fits. Like Reyes for example, I know he signed with Florida, but I would never sign him to there because they have a SS. Just go with the simplest signings that make the most sense that people can't argue with.
Also, no backloading AT ALL is dumb. For example, if I want to sign Kemp to a 8 year 160 million dollar extension, I should be allowed to backload it a little bit. Just make it realistic, nothing like 5,5,25,25,25,25,25,25, but 15/20/20/20/20/20/22.5/22.5 is fair, and also more realistic than 20 per over 8 years.
Within the context of the game I agree with no backloading or everyone will just do it.
IRL obviously it happens and is extremely common but I think closing off all the potential abuses that this has suffered from in the past is necessary.
Judging by the history of this game trusting people to not abuse it will just not work.

STFU turn on your AIM!
VRP, those numbers after year one have no effect in a one-year mock though

That's kind of dumb to. What if they wanted to trade that current SS and use him as an asset to land something else while having reyes fill in that hole?? We shouldn't factor that in either, just like the NBA mock, use your best judgement and whoever has the best convincing write ups should get the player locked up. Since it shows dedication and fight when people take their time doing a write up for a FA. It also appeals to them more when your showing fight for them..
Also for the Contracts why don't we have a % based increase so big time back loading can't happen. I think we did this in the MLB mock 2 years ago or it was in the NBA mock, but you set a certain % and everyone has to increase the contract abiding by that %.
For my free agents no team is going to be out of the running until I read their offers for my players
I want write-ups to become a part of the process. If a team comes in with a great write-up, a good offer and it makes sense. He's going to go to that team. Just going to say that now. If they say that they are going to trade the other SS or move his position, I will still consider it.
It's going to be my judgement and my judgement alone on MY Free Agents.
When do signups end?
Royals will be breakout team this year, just saying
No set time yet. We're probably going to wait until Redraft voting ends to start it all (I think). Just starting a rough draft of the teams now, and still need to figure out salary cap info.
Yeah. I'm hoping it makes it more interesting.
