Here is a list of things to go over this off-season. Please feel free to add more suggestions.
- Free Agency Bidding: We had an idea of instead of just posing an overall amount you bid (example 1M), you also have to bid your years as well, (example 2 years at 1M). So for example a player would rather except a 4 year deal for $5M a year: $20m total then a 2 year deal for 6M: $12M total.
- Should we require a team to always start a player at each position?
- Should we allow teams to cover salaries in trades. (Example: I trade Bryce Harper and agree to cover $10m of his salary this year). There would be limits on the coverage.
- I know a couple teams have complained about the point system. I personally think it has worked out almost perfectly. It's been very balanced but I'm always open to ideas.

My idea is making singles worth more than walks since in real life they are more valuable.
Example:
Singles 1.4 points Walks 0.8 points

Agree with mariners, a single is more valuable than a walk with someone in scoring position, but you get an additional 0.6 for the RBI as it is now. I feel like the added value in that situation is already accounted for.

My idea is making singles worth more than walks since in real life they are more valuable. Example: Singles 1.4 points Walks 0.8 points I think in the end you are still standing on first base....lol Do we really have to get into this discussion again? There are MANY reasons why a single is different than a walk in it's reflection of how valuable a player is which is what the point system should reflect. I'll give you four of the reasons why a single is better than a walk in relationship to a player's value, even though there are more. 1. Easiest to understand, a single is simply harder to get than a walk. You actually have to hit the ball. I could get a walk off Clayton Kershaw if he throws 4 balls in the first 6 pitches of my at bat but there is NO way in hell I could ever get a hit off of Kershaw. 2. In situations where a hitter is batting with a runner on first, a single in many cases will get that runner to third or a least gives that runner a chance where a walk NEVER does that. Many other examples I could give in regards to base running options based on a single where a walk doesn't apply. 3. And the most egregious is the intentional walk, a player get 1.4 points in our league for doing NOTHING, just standing there and watching the balls go wide on purpose, NO skill in that. 4. Lastly with all do respect Mariners you are wrong on this one, in the end you AREN'T always standing on first base, sometimes when you hit a single there also is an error that goes with it where the hitter ends up on second or third or even home. Certainly a lot better than first where with a walk that doesn't happen unless on a very wild pitch which is extremely rare in comparision. Like I said there are more reasons but clearly a single is more valuable then a walk so therefore in our league it should be more valuable as well in relationship to the points system. Not saying give a walk no value, just less.

make the season 1 week shorter and have the world series be a two week matchup.

It's already a 2 week matchup.

We need the start limit.
Instead of adjusting point values, why not just make plate appearances -.6 instead of AB's? It would negate a large amount of the differential between walks and hits, since currently only AB's are -.6. Just spitballing there, but seems like the simplest answer.
Agree with unlimited/expanded MILB rosters
Allow current year cash to be traded in small amounts (limited to the current salary of the player being moved). It frees up trading a bit, and doesn't force 20 player trades to make the salaries work for expensive players. Plus for guys like Wright, Segura, Simmons who just aren't worth the contract it would make them more movable. Also create a maximum amount that any team my trade/receive. Finally, no player/pick purchases either (i.e. cash for player). Cash trading would be strictly for trade facilitation.
Agree with the 1.5 week ASB, and 2 week WS matchups.

Regardless of whether you think a walk is as valuable as a single or not, a single is certainly not worth almost twice as much as a walk, which is what the proposed 0.8 / 1.4 split would mean.

I'll look into the schedule thing, but the 21 weeks that we have now works out perfectly schedule wise. And yes if we change walks and singles the split won't be that much, 1.0/1.4 at the most.

I would be fine with a single being 1.4 and a walk 1 point
