It could delay other teams as well but the teams that will be affected most are the ones who already have most of the top talent. Getting to choose some of the guys that go down isn't really fair imo, especially the 90's going to the 80's. Taking a guy who could have been an agent guy down to a guy you can easily extend. Agent guys have a better chance at hitting the open market which help spread around the talent. Also there will be ways to abuse this without anyone even thinking you are abusing it. I know that may sound sinical but if the chance is there people will do it even if its subconcious on their part.
I see what you are saying and I get it, but the teams with the best talents will get hurt, but also the teams without the top talent will get hurt as well, and it will still be less of an impact to the Marlins and teams like that. I am finally close to competing after a longer than expected rebuild. But I lose a few of my guys then it will set me back even longer, and Florida has enough great depth to withstand this and still be top of the walk in the East for many more years. The way DJ is trying to do this, is like Sean explained in the post above. I would rather see some accidentally abuse this, than just let it randomly fuck more guys up. And there is no guarantee that these random drops hurt the Marlins, Cubs, Jays players the most. It could easily hurt teams like yours, mine and other teams worse than them. The key word here is "random".
