Wouldn't it make more sense for career MinL players with overall ratings over 60 who become FAs to ask for the ML min contracts instead of multiyear multimillion dollar contracts?

Some of them would probably be signed for $327K as injury insurance, instead of sitting out 1-2 years while their ratings drop and they ask for a MinL deal.

If they're worth more than the ML min, the market should bid them up.

I think this would help out worlds that run out of position players.  I don't see a downside.

Anyone see a downside?

Discussed a million times.  They're not worth worrying over.  If they were, they would be kept on the 40.

I agree.  It would solve a lot of problems with worlds running out of players. 

Signing draft picks would have the same effect.

Lol... like that 25th round DH projected to be a 29 overall?  No thanks. 

It'd be a simple fix , to have the lower rated players ask for a reasonable contract.  I dont know why you're so hell bent against it. 

Yep.  As expected, owners like you are the problem when worlds run out of position players.   But you're quick to ask Daddy to save you.

you can use a goshdarn pitcher as a dh. i think we're all talking about serviceable position players here, fool

p.s. wait long enough and the guy's price will go down to a reasonable level

or it won't

find someone else

or cry

... or logical demands.  Not asking for much. 

On a tangent are a players demands minor or major based on the average salary of comparible players in that world?  Or is it just arbitrary that a guy rated 75 will ask for, say 6.5 mil a year?
