This game seems to love VORP. Use VORP. If the FA is in the top 10% in VORP than they are Type A. If the player is in the top 11-20% they are a type B. In the top 21-30% they are type C. These percentages aren't hard numbers but I think they work. The formula works wether you have a league where the MVPs have 100 VORP, or VORP of 30.

I don't really like the idea of just 5 Type A, no matter how many great players are out there. In such a scenerio three of these players wouldn't be a Type A: Barry Zito, Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Lee, Jason Schmidt, Rodger Clemens, Nomar Garciaparra, Mike Mussina, Eric Gagne.

If you look at in another way. If Clemens retires, Gagne can't come back & Mussina, Schmidt & Soriano resign that means Zito, Lee, Nomar, & then who? Sheffield & Torii Hunter become Type A? I don't think a set number is a good way to go.
