This will also continue to reverse the trend of using so many deadball pitchers in lower cap leagues because they're becoming less affordable, which I view favorably.

I was only about $750K over on my $100M team in Doc's league, which was an easy fix.

Anything that increases the diversity in rosters in leagues below $120M in salary cap is an improvement.

just am building a $125m team for skunk's next go around of the Non Invitational.... been a fun experience using some new players (and not just 2016 guys) to find some value. To me, dynamic pricing has been great and is appreciated.

Same here. I found cap space to use the '16 Kershaw as a swingman. At just under $49k/IP, which isn't ridiculous, IMO...

Perhaps the pricing gives owners a chance to discover new favorites, and the old cookies level off in cost...

I mean, yeah. I've kinda wanted to use guys like Soriano and Canseco for awhile, but, I was just expecting for prices to fluctuate. But it looks like it's just gonna rise and rise and never fall back to earth

It's interesting to me that certain players have seen three consecutive significant price increases. That tells me that the salaries still aren't high enough to prevent widespread utilization of those players. Since even a $255M roster was impacted by the recent salary changes, we may finally be getting to that point. Again, this is something that I view favorably.

Ya, honestly was kinda hoping it'd only count OL's. That way someone like '27 Ruth could keep dropping, dropping, dropping. Then he gets to a price where people use him in OL's and his price goes right back up. Hopefully some of these guys prices fall back to earth.

Though I don't ever see 2000 Pedro or 1995 Maddux ever falling again. They'll be at $25 mil and people will still use them

If that happened though then you'd see him become a tremendous cookie at caps like 120M and 140M, not to mention higher, and the rampant overuse in those leagues would have no impact on bumping his price back up
