Rookie and Free Agent Players Held Hostage - Day 7
We were told that the season would be flipped on January 8th (one week ago) and sure enough they did get the rookie order set in about that timeframe. However, the rookie order is the ONLY thing that got done.
We are still waiting on
(1) The rookie draft list. True, Ken G did come up with a pretty good initial list. But it would be very convenient for planning purposes if we could see a "Rookie Draft List" so we could see all the players and their ratings, etc. in one location
(2) The free agent draft list. Ditto everything above plus consider that the available players are different in each league. As people are considering deals with FA picks involved it would be nice to see a preliminary look at the talent pool.
(3) The PB Value Limit (Cap) for the 27 man cut. We have heard approximations of 106+/-3. But we have heard nothing official from Mike on what the level is or when we will here what it is. This needs to get done so that teams can know which side of the cap they are on and what they need to do about it.
The approximations we have heard are nice to know. But in order for people to fine tune their rosters we really need to get these things nailed down. I believe it is imperative that these items be addressed ASAP so that people can make decisions for the upcoming season and draft cycle.
