I'd suggest maybe $80 million for the minors and 60 for the instructional (partially so there'll be enough room for the drop penalties if we want to promote/demote guys.). Also, if there's a limit on individual salaries for each league, I'd say 4.5 or so for the minors and 3 for the instructional. (Looking at 1B for example, I can see a scenario where someone could have Fielder, Ike Davis and Carlos Pena as their top 3 1B. I think it makes sense to at least have the option of having them be your 3 starters.). Just my two cents.
Anyway, looks like Tom Pierce gets first crack it. Looking forward to it
And speaking of Dr. P, I think the limits he mentions in this post make sense, too.
This is a brand new concept and we're making up this sh*t at we go. Let's make it a solid annual event!
I think Dr.P had the right idea about league and individual caps
So, Just to be sure, this is what has been proposed:
Majors: 200 mil no individual cap
Minors: 80 mil; 4.5 mil individual cap
Instructional: 60 mil; 3.0 individual cap
Two possible flaws.First one: At the beginning of the season you
could stack the instructional league team to be better than the minor league team- even by following these guidelines. And, secondly, during the season moving players at will within divisions (major, minor, etc.) could open up a can of worms.
Example: Major team is floundering at mid-point-a manager could move as many under 4.5's as possible to minors, thereby giving up major season to win minors. This could cause bad feelings.
Here is a suggestion to solve the above scenarios.
Beginning of season: Limit the number of high-salaried players in the minors and instructional league. This would prevent stacking the minors or instructional teams., i.e. Minors: no more than three players over 3.5 mil, with a cap of 4.5 for any individual player. Instructional: no more than three over 2 mil with an individual cap of 3.0 mil
During season: Do not allow players to move downward (majors to minors and minors to instructional). So,:
Majors: can accept players from minors or instructional with injuries or if it fits in with the rules
Minors: can move up to majors; can not move down to instructional
Instructional: can move up to minors or majors; can not accept minors or majors players- injuries should be covered by another eligible player on the team, but if not a player could play out of position. Since it is an instructional league- good learning experience for the player.
Just a suggestion to avoid possible controversy later. Thanks
