I do have one item that I would like to start our winter meeting discussions. I have often had some small issues with our salary increases. Because they are not performance based we have mediocre players that receive the same increases as super stars based solely on the current salary level. Many times it takes a rookie, even a highly touted prospect, a few years to start performing up to expectations. After his initial $1 season, he jumps to $6, $11, $15 in the next three years and may not be keep-able at those levels. While, there is probably not a "perfect" system out there for salary increase, I recently came across a league with a type of system that allows all of the owners in the league to assign a limited amount of salary dollars to players on opposing teams that believe are worthy of a higher price.
I believe a modified allocation system system may work well in our league. I would like to propose a change in our salary increase structure as follows:
In the interest of maintaining competitive balance, I would like to consider this two part allocation/arbitration options.
REDUCING INCREASES FOR KEEPERS:
Each year you may keep players whose total values do not exceed $100. Each kept player will have the following raise in salary.
$1-$10 players receive a $5 ($4) raise
$11-$20 players receive a $4 ($3) raise
$21+ receive a $3 ($2) raise.
Salary raises must be taken into account when determining your $100 keeper cap.
ALLOCATION PROCESS – After the salary increase and prior to the keepers set date:
a. The allocation system gives a $13 budget to each team in the league. The team can allocate this budget towards players on other teams. Each team must allocate one dollar to one player on every other team. At the end of the allocation period, all players have their salary increased by the amount allocated towards them with a maximum of $7. Allocations take place after the initial offseason salary increase, so any allocations will be in addition to the $4, $3 or $2 increase each player gets at the end of the season.
Rookie players called up for the first time to become a keeper ($1 players) are exempt from allocations their first year.
