    for someone who knows more than me:

    is there any reason why 1/2 of the top 10 are shortstops? is there just more positional value there?

    Easier for a SS to switch to second or third than the other way around

    shortstops in a draft will almost always be among the most athletic players and teams will either develop them at that position or find a spot anywhere else in the field for them to excel in

    the rays drafted theo gillen two years ago as a shortstop and now he’s a very good center fielder in the minors

    royals have a SS they drafted i think relatively highly recently too and i was like why, bobby's gonna be here 10 more years

    but that makes sense

    MLB officially proposed a salary cap, so get excited for a lockout.
     


  8. floor is fine but the cap is so unrealistic lol

    12 teams are below the floor currently and 9 teams are above the cap.
     
  10. i think 150mil floor, 300mil cap is fine

    let the best players get paid and simply build around it
     
  11. just don't let CJ McCollum negotiate for the players

    Will never stop being funny to me that he was either hurt or mediocre for FIVE straight years, and then turns into a demon again as soon as he’s traded
