The system in place right now is grossly unfair to three teams in particular: Baltimore, Tampa Bay, and Toronto.
2) Fix the draft. Overpaying for proven talent is A-OK by me. Overpaying for talent that hasn't thrown a pitch or swung a bat in Rookie ball is ridiculous. Implement a slotting system in the next CBA.
3) Do not under any circumstances implement a salary cap of any kind. Instead, increase the percentage of revenue that each team kicks into the pot. I'd rather the owners take a hit than the players. I do not pay to watch the owners. It would be kind of like paying to watch paint dry.
That's all I got for now.  |
I like that for the most part, however my only issue is that a balanced schedule pretty much makes divisions useless. I like number 3, I think that would be a great alternative to any type of salary cap to increase parity. Great suggestion!
