WBL Rule Change Thread

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
There are major risks (namely injuries) that are in reel life that aren't in the WBL with those long extensions.

In terms of 10-year deals... it's A-Rod (twice), Pujols, Stanton, Jeter, Tulo and those guys are all super premium players with much higher risk than our guys we are signing. Mostly they were all older than you can sign guys in our game to very long term deals.

Yeah all those deals were definitely after pre-arb, so it doesn't really matter. Basically no reason to go 10 years pre-arb other than to game the system.

Nope-- A-Rod, Pujols, Jeter were FAs. Tulo was technically an extension after arb (but he signed a long one pre-arb). Stanton I think was right as he hit arb.

I could be misinterpreting but I think he is saying nope, there is no other reason other than to game the system.

I hate everyone in this league that didn't say something while I was arguing against this rule revoke in the first place

I hate everyone in this league that can't write without spinning riddles.

These threads are impossible to follow, I just vote against whatever doh says.

Yeah there is huge risk when you pay them after arb. If I did those deals before arb, both would be making significantly less.

So two changes:

1) 7 year max contracts

2) 5% increase to revenue sharing

Any nay's?

I would support this. Anything that creates more player movement is a good idea in my mind. I would even support 5yr max.

Nay to 7 years. Wooly will step the line no matter where you draw it. A 7year version of that deal would actually be less risky. At 10 years, there is a much more significant chance that a large portion of the deal becomes dead money.

I actually don't disagree with your point, but I think the chance is greater the player doesn't become a dead contract and then at least they hit FA at a reasonable age.

I think this also helps by decreasing how much you save on a player by making that long contract. With 7yr max you don't get as much end of contract savings, which is the main point of signing a young guy to long term. Of course that assumes the player doesn't die before the 10 years are up too. In the past I have rarely signed players early. I have usually waiting until the end of my team control and decided whether to sign or go to FA. Then again, I rarely bring guys up early either.

That depends on the player right? Some 33-35 year old players still get 20m
