Unless I'm mistaken they didn't so the teams got stuck with them. 5 I do like though. It's way too easy to fleece the AI as it is so shortening that a bit is always good in my eyes.

you are mistaken. atterman got signed, and haller got signed as well (i didn't originally mention him, only because the Orioles didn't have their resignings done at that time, but if they would have, i would have mentioned him along with atterman). i don't think neither one was worth type A at all. what i have noticed is some of the hitters won't get signed, but if you have a youngish SP (atterman) good chance he gets signed even as a type A as we saw. And some pitchers that pitched well recently (haller) but isn't that good vitals wise looks like they will get type A for them as well cause people seem to crave pitching in FA. these guys shouldn't be netting these teams 30's overall picks with minimum risk, and yes it's not a big risk for them to offer what they did. 2/16 is a much much bigger risk and we won't see near as much of this, i don't think.

i don't want to get in a big argument about this again, we all know where you stand, and we all know where i stand. there's no more arguments to be made, the admin team needs to probably talk it out and figure out if this would benefit the league or not.

i will say this, to me, if it doesn't change, that's fine because i'm a small market team and it would hurt me more for 2/16 (but i would prefer 2/16 because it's just more fair for the league), but if it stays same like it is right now, i'm taking advantage of this every single chance that i can in the future. if others will, i definitely will. because, 1/16 is just not a big risk to take if i have a decent starting pitcher, i'll take the risk even if i'm a small market team, because the risk is not that great at all, and having a chance to get a 30's overall pick is well worth the risk IMO. hitters, i would have to think twice on, but it's pretty clear that teams are targeting pitching a lot more in FA than type a or b hitters, and all it takes is one team to bid, as we saw with atterman and haller. and i guarantee you others are witnessing what's going on and will do same thing, but league can do what they want.
