I'm good with voting on those

[Yankees]

Im cool with the voting options. Now we can franchise ANY expiring contract ? So if I wanted to keep Mike Pelfrey next year and the voting goes a certain way I could keep him for $15 and then whatever we decide happens next in regards to RFA or UFA ?

Would have to be decided prior to RFA start

It would be $15+ base salary

POLLS UP GO VOTE

[JimB (as in Brewers)]

Looks like we went from unneeded so-called minor changes to a rather large change ... too bad

[Bobby]

The poll to allow an option Player had only 8 votes. Since subsequent polls set the number, the amount of $15 and UFA, I suggest a new poll to see if that entire rule is voted in or not.

Seams reasonable, every ok with a vote to ratify all options for the options, or no changes?

[toby]

Agree with Sox

chime in, should this get one more vote. Do you feel this is a major change and needs to be voted on once more? let's hear your thoughts

[Yankees]

Sorry fellas I'm removing myself from this. Getting over the top. Will never please 100% not sure why we're trying. Obviously majority voting means nothing . So you don't need my vote. I'll wait and see how this turns out. Not sure why adding an option year of $15 to one player made such a mess or why it's considered such a major change. I've looked at alot of angles and don't see the big deal...Good luck with this.

agreed, this passed with majority rule, we are stuck with or may like it after season. options live for one season

[Yankees]

Listen do not mistake my frustration with my not enjoying league. We coulda changed nothing and I would have been happy.

To be honest I voted for no change initially. However I did like the franchise option so when it got pushed through I decided to give it a shot. I liked the idea.

Remember I wanted no part in RFA this offseason by choice so this too me made sense as an alternative for teams with same idea. However I do like the RFA process. I just got out of the big bidding. It still worked for me in little spots.

Change is change. I said before this alteration will effect the number of RFA this next year but won't get interesting till they are all UFA the following.

So honestly who knows if it is a good change or one of minimal effect.

[Bobby]

So let's say next year we vote to dump the option. If a team has used it, is the player a UFA or RFA? What if someone trades for a player this season planning to use the option next year and it's voted out next January?

[Yankees]

It's cool we'll have like 13 polls going at once !! Trying to figure out cause and effect . This change won't see its purpose for two off seasons really. This year its impact on RFA but when the UFA start going.
