I wouldn't consider it collusion. But, if I thought the owners were attempting to "game" the system, I'd veto it. Mostly it would revolve around cash/salary for a veto.
Draft pitchers. Waiting until the end of the season to sign them will retard their development. So, if you think you're drafting an 18 y/o with 0 pro years, you have to assume you're drafting a 19 y/o with 1 pro year if you wait til the end of the season to sign him. Development lost.
No.
