    I don't think it's as simple as this with the new CBA. If they think they are close to ready, even if their stats in the spring don't show it, I think they will start them in Detroit. If they struggle for a month, they will send them down. The benefit of potentially getting extra draft picks sways things. Add to that that they may not get the extra year of control even if they wait to bring them up, I think you will see teams err on the side of pushing a bit compared to before trying to get the extra control.

    Supposedly they were willing to give Adams the same deal but he wanted to leave. Be careful what you wish for.

    Bey with 21 in the first.

    They wouldn’t have had Chubb. He was part of the trade package. Chubb, Top corner Ward, 3 number 1s and a number 2. It’s funny that there’s was the only trade package publicized and he didn’t pick them.

    They would only assume Watson’s current $35 mil base salary. They could restructure to a $1 mil base and $34 mil signing bonus which would spread the $34 mil over 3 years making his current hit at $12.33 mil (1 mil plus 11.33 mil from the bonus) that makes the next 2 years hit $11.33 mil higher but they can deal with it later.

    And the Saints are right at the cap. It shows that you can get creative if you need to. It pushes it back to later (which the Saints have done over and over) but it can be done.

    $2.5 mil with incentives could be a $1 mil base if he doesn't play.

    And the new cba definitely gives them incentive to have Greene and Torkelson on the roster day 1, so Greene is likely committed to consistent time.

    If they don't designate him it actually means 100% of dead money is this year. If they do post June 1, it is split between this year and next. Only thing about the post June 1 is they don't get the cap relief until then per HongBit's post

    So does this mean the subcommittee was going against the rest of the players wishes prior to this? At least a deal is done and we it is going to be a crazy month!

    No more 7 inning double headers or runners on 2nd to start extra innings.

    And the trainer quoted in the article (from MLB so take that with a grain of salt) is for the draft.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/international-draft-cba-negotiations So the aggregate bonus & for the 20 round international draft (600 players) is more than was spent on over 1000 players in the last period prior to the pandemic. So the international prospects would actually get more $ overall. No team could pass on a selection. They expect $21-23 million more to be spent on international players with this system.

    And from the initial reports, the first picks bonus was higher than any bonus received from this year's signing period. They were set bonuses based on slot, but overall the bonuses to all drafted international players were for more $ than the $ paid to the same amount of players in the last international period.

    Like the revenue sharing and floor, hate the hard cap. I'd rather see a lower soft cap with only financial penalties so an owner can choose to go over if they want and that tax gets spread to the other teams. I really dislike the draft pick/international pool penalties.

    I could also say the same of some of the gains made by the players. I was responding specifically to Lee's post.
  18. 4hzglory
    Agree
  19. 4hzglory
    You are definitely right on the expanded playoffs. Some of the others can be debated if they are better for the owners or the overall good of the game
  20. 4hzglory
    They locked them out because the players were rightfully prepared to strike. The owner's would have been happy to play on the previous deal. There are very few of these changes that are improvements to the owner's.

    It was the final one before postponing any games. They made that pretty clear at the time.
  22. 4hzglory
    I get this, but then the players using the argument that they want more competitive balance is completely contrary to this. The higher CBT does nothing for the competitive balance and getting the lower payrolls to spend more. If anything, it probably does the opposite as they will look for even more ways to be more "efficient" like the Rays as they are less able to compete for the higher priced players.
  23. 4hzglory
    Yeah, Hutch is definitely ahead of Thibodeaux for me. IMO Hutch tested as well or better in the areas that matter the most for an edge. And I trust Hutch's work ethic considerably more.
  24. 4hzglory
    Me too. I could definitely take him over Hutchison as I think we have a better front 4 than back 7 and watching almost all of Hamilton's games the past 3 seasons, he can completely change how a defense is played. His instincts and game speed are as good as anyone I have seen. His ability to make plays at the line of scrimmage or in the back end of the defense are definitely different than a normal safety. And he is one I would definitely trust GPS time more than 40 time as he was definitely one of the fastest players on the field. I definitely have no problem taking Hutch and probably would do it myself, but Hamilton is definitely my next choice.

    The former players on MLB radio say the players are all for the larger bases, so it doesn't seem like a major issue.
