This must've been brought up before..it seems pretty obvious..but maybe only I consider it a problem

If you change a players postion, they will accept a different salary based on the position you change them to...

Example 1:
I offered RHP Mike Koplove a contract extension, he desired the following contracts, depending on the position i set him at:
CLOSER: $3,570,000 @ 2yrs
MID RELIEVER: $2,800,000 @ 2yrs

Example 2:
Rob Hammock
C: $1,180,000 @ 2yrs
1B: $702,000 @ 2yrs
3B: $720,000 @ 1yr
LF: $864,000 @ 1yr
RF: $864,000 @ 2yr
DH: $576,000 @ 1yr

Obviously he shouldn't have 6 different contracts in mind, based on the position hes currently at. An easy way to sign a player cheap is to set him as a DH while you offer the extention. I really think this needs to be fixed.

Any comments...? will this be addressed?

thankyou,
