GUYS....   A GROUP OF OWNERS HAS EXPRESSED A CONCERN, AND i WILL AGREE WITH THEM ON IT, AS IT CONCERNED ME AS WELL.

BARRY BONDS IS SO EXPENSIVE THAT HIS GROUP WILL LIKELY GO VERY LAST OR CLOSE TO IT AS NO ONE WANTS IT DUE TO THE CUTS YOU WOULD HAVE TO MAKE EVERYWHERE ELSE.  THAT BEING THE CASE, THE TEAM FORCED TO TAKE BONDS'S PAIR WOULD LIKELY EITHER BE OVER THE CAP OR FORCED TO TRADE WITH SOMEONE ELSE.  HERE IS THE SOLUTION.....

ANY GM WHO TAKES BARRY BONDS PAIR CAN USE A DIFFERENT BARRY BONDS SEASON THAN THE 2001 SEASON I LISTED.  THE TEAM MUST USE THE ONE THAT GETS  HIS TEAM THE CLOSEST TO THE 98,600,000 LEVEL OF COMPLIANCY WITHOUT GOING OVER.  IF THAT SEASON HAS FEWER THAN 600PAs, YOU WILL NEED TO USE ONE OF YOUR SELF PICKED AAA TO REST HIM, BUT THIS WAY ANY GM WHO TAKES BONDS HAS OPTIONS BECAUSE HIS SALARY LOOKS TO BE A PROBLEM GOING FORWARD.  IF YOU CAN USE 2001 AND KEEP UNDER THE CAP, SO BE IT.

My personal thoughts....I am a little concerned, since the draft has already started that this change will be made, as it may effect some draft strategies already in place. Ie. taking that Group early, so they are not stuck with Bonds and the Salary...just a thought

I think the way to go would be to exclude Bonds from the first round.   Let this new rule kick in at the beginning of round 2.   Just a thought

He would probably have to be excluded for the first TWO rounds since the draft order is reversed for round 2.
