If you make off-season roster changes, I will do the call ups/send downs but I will then Auto the lineups, minors, and rotations until the last simm before the new season FYI
Also if a player doesnt send you a message after you offered to them, it means they dont like your org! ----------------------------- Commish Heis

Trying to create new ideas to address FA compensation. Started a discussion in the FA COMP thread, but moving it here so everyone sees it. If you have an idea on how to improve the compensation, would love to hear it. I'm sure most if not all of us have felt a little chaffed from how its shaked out before, and I know I've been a little frustrated with it in the past. But this recent one burned me worse than a flaming hemorrhoid. So I think it's time all the owners got together and started floating ideas on how to improve it. Dave said the game doesn't allow for 1st round supplemental picks. I thought of something to do with qualifying offers, which I think we can potentially create an idea off of that. Would appreciate input on this guys.

And where I was going with the qualifying offer, was the making of an offer period. For instance, if you have a 35 year old player and you don't even make an offer, or some kind of reasonable offer, during the season, then you don't want them and therefor shouldn't be granted compensation during FA.

If we're going that route (I know it's an idea), there needs to be a required contract that's standardized no matter the position, ect.. If they don't get that contract in FA, your team signs them to the qualifying offer. There has to be risk for return. Most of the players who are let go in FA that are compensation picks are surely over 30.
For you, you took a gamble on Hermanson signing with a shitty team, it sucks you didn't get what you needed, you're right, we've all been there. I'm all for some changes, but there still has to be risk on the team letting a player walk.

What if we hold off until after FA ends to award compensation and then within each compensation type a and b player pool award in the order of largest contract signed instead of when they signed the contract.
Ex. I sign 2 players from the compensation type A player pool. On 2/5 I sign a guy from the Yankees to a 5 year contract worth a total of 60 million. On 2/10 I sign a guy from the Braves to a 7 year contract worth a total of 80 million.
The Braves would get my 1st round pick and the Yankees would get 10 mil.

We could also look at just giving pick comps to the Type As and cash for type Bs ----------------------------- Commish Heis

Gave multiple offers during the season including one that would have put him in like the 4th or 5th highest paid player, plus tried twice during FA. It wasn't a gamble, I couldn't sign him. I lost a 1st round pick to a 35 year old old and couldn't even get the 2nd round pick which another team got for a 39 year old.

I like the idea of looking at waiting until after FA to award compensation. Total contract is a good idea. Could work well for figuring out compensation for type A and B's when it comes to multiple signings by the same team. A team signs two A's and a B, highest contract get 1st round, 2nd A gets 2nd round and 5 mill, type B gets 5 mill...something like that. Good start on ideas.
