here is a somewhat simple fix...as i'm sure its been stated before(i'm too lazy to read ALL of this mess), but, if people would stop throwing around ridiculous money to players, these agents would have nothing to stand on...but when some of you clowns go out and give players like Schierholtz 10M a season, or Gallardo 19M, or whoever a huge contract who sucks, then the agent can almost ask for whatever he wants.. now i know some players get injured after a contract etc etc, but some of the money that is given to players is just plain stupid.. be smarter with your money, the less precedent the agents can go on...
for the agents, while its common sense that every player wants to make the most money, SOME players are not all about money. When they are a perfect fit for a team, the "hometown discount" should be reasonable, and actually a discount, not 2M less than if he were out on the open market. SOME players actually are not all about money and are about loyalty if they like where they are... anyhow, just my quick 2 cents...
just thought of this too, i would also suggest a 3rd agent for players that have subpar seasons/vitals relative to their overall.. there are alot of consistent underachieving 90+ players in this league, and regardless of their overall, those players should sign much fairer deals.. just a couple of expamples, Gallardo on my team who will be a FA next season, has done awful since signing his current contract, and this past offseason, Gordon Beckham was waaaaaaaaaaaay overrated and the agent was asking for waaaaaaaaay more than what he is worth...
