My ideas to address the tanking issue Topic

snake why do you waste everyone's time here in the forums when you don't even have an active team? Get a life, or at least a team to run.

I've never seen a team with a record of 32-144 in the last week of the season.

I don't like the deviation from MLB, but I do think the earlier suggestion of a draft lottery would seriously mitigate tanking.

It sure did in the NBA.

snake I do not know you nor do I care to. The impression you give off is that all you want to do is make personal attacks without offering up anything of substance to the topic of conversation. If you wanted to add in something of substance I would love to hear it, otherwise don't bother.

Won't that just encourage even more over-paying of IFAs?

You won't lower the highest bid, there is just no way to do it unless you limit how much people can budget for prospects, which is part of the suggestion I made ($30M).

The blind bid would only work if it is in conjunction with the rest of the proposal I discussed. By having all the internationals available at the same time. If there are say 5 or 6 star IFA's, teams will have to make a decision on who to put a blind bid on, it's possible the "heavy" budget teams will all compete for 1 or 2 of those IFA's, if that is the case only 1 can win, shutting the other teams out and opening up the other IFA's to other teams.

It's not perfect, but it creates more competition and as the proposal I made suggests it minimizes the benefits of tanking by removing the guarantee a little that you will land a star IFA.

Fine, then quit your nippin' at me and just read when I write stuff. Can't be too hard to do, can it?
