I understand why you'd want it, but I think having more than one nuke a week takes away from too much of the weekly strategy. I prefer teams have to be thorough in planning out their weekly activation, and I don't see a whole lot wrong with having to wait an extra week if you have multiple players that you want to have active.

Or would this be effective throughout the year, with the stipulation that players had to be owned at the end of the Draft? Are you saying this could ONLY be used at the end of the draft?

]]> Comment on 2011 WM Proposal #8 Players Lost to NL Compensation by Andy http://sonsoftheo.com/blog/2012/01/25/2011-wm-proposal-8-players-lost-to-nl-compensation/comment-page-1/#comment-1386 Andy Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:13:16 +0000 http://sonsoftheo.com/blog/?p=490#comment-1386 I agree with Rich. I think if a SOT team loses a prospect/playervia a trade and the player received in return for that prospect/player is a free agent to be and that player then signs in the NL following the season, I believe that SOT team should be compensated. I'm fine with the part that states FA pick ups during the season would not require compensation and would be cool with a cutoff time if that was a deal break for others. After re-reading the proposal again. I think I'm fine with this. As it states if that prospect dealt was on your keeper list the SOT team would be protected. I agree with Rich.

You lose a player that you drafted so maybe the comp should be for the "stud prospect" lost, and not for say CC type player? We can always make it so in this case the rule wouldn’t take place.

I can't control where CC signs and I just loss my stud prospect. Shouldn't I get compensation for CC? It's not an SOT owners fault that an MLB team traded for CC, I thought we put in compensation to protect SOT owners from the things we can't control. I'm not totally against free agent pickup in SOT being ineligible for comp though, maybe have a cut off date instead of the whole year? Maybe I am not indifferent

There are a few possible problems that might arise; career years, off year and injuries. Do we want to award owners comp for a career year? Should we dismiss a players body of work due to injury or an off year statistically? Last Sunday there was a lot of talk about awarding only the best players compensation, if we only use the previous season’s WAR figure we may fail to achieve our goal of awarding the best players.
