Speaking of the draft compensation I think 1st round (or if it's changing, 2nd round) top 10 picks should be protected. I know many have said, "if teams have top 10 pick, they shouldn't be going after those types of players". However, look at my Rockies, I've gone from a top 10 pick in June to the playoffs in October. Granted back in the off-season I didn't foresee me winning. But I did see myself being competitive by 2025. So would it really be a bad move for a team like me to sign a guy for 4 or 5 years if you feel you'll be competitive for most of the contract? Protecting picks promotes parity.
I love the 2nd round for Type A and 3rd round for Type B. I think it'll encourage more activity in the off-season. It seems people only go for compensatory players if their a complete stud AND under 30 or a Type B where the signing team will only be giving up a second half team.
And I think some of the non-talk about suggestions means either people have discussed their support already in the original thread or that they simply aren't against it.
