Initially I thought this would be good, but the point is to encourage players to go to FA and I think higher prices will make players fall into that "I'll just keep him category."

Instead just have anyone who is eligible for FA be a comp player if the GM chooses him to be. Obviously if you choose a guy to be a comp player and he actually sucks then you would be stuck with a big salary on a useless player since no one would sign him.
I'm not opposed to this. It does let the GMs have total control over the situation. This is basically the real life rules, but I do think we need a differentiation between Type A and Type B. It allows for risk-reward and further encourages GMs to let players hit free agency.
