There are already a few ideas posted so why not add some more, right? Some I list might already be within another idea, I'm just typing what rolls off my head right now. As always these are ideas and we will discuss and put to a vote the ideas that gain traction. This way it is fair for the whole league.
1. Minors Draft and Expansion - I would like to expand our minors to 20 players instead of the max 5 we are at right now. I'm sure you are all aware that the MLB has their amatuer draft every June so there are always new prospects on the horizon. These prospects can carry a lot of value and help make our trades more fun and realistic. I would propose it be a slow standard draft in reverse order of last year's standings that can start in Nov/Dec, this will also keep owners in tune with the league, it's easy to drop out when you stop in Oct and then there is no action until Feb. Draft can be carried out on Proboards and messaging through Slack. Not going to type full details here, but I pretty much have the whole idea in my head and would love to discuss it further.
2. Would like to put a penalty on drops. I was throwing around the 20% idea which I think is fair. Player dropped at $10 you only get back $8 etc., this would tie into the idea of trading money. If you can gain it there needs to be a way to lose it. At least I think that is fair.
3. Trading of money I believe is inevitable, just depends on how far we want to take it. We can retain salaries on trades, trade outright cap dollars, and I would also consider when trading said player the team can offer to cover salary increases for maybe 3 years. We wold have to set %'s and parameters that are fair. This would also open up a whole new style of trading for the league.
4. Championship Trophy/Belt - I would love to do something with this. I just think it would be a cool momento, I'm sure we can find inexpensive options for this. If we agree we can up the league fee to cover the expense. Again I just think it would be cool to have something from the league and of course Bragging Rights!!
I know I'm forgetting some stuff but this is a good starting point. Feel free to hit me up on Slack if you want to discuss anything further. I will post a link of this there.
