Hey guys
Just curious if there would be any interest in starting a keeper (regular set), but with a salary cap. Somewhere in the $100-120k range is where my heads at. Initial thoughts would be typical 40 man roster (or less), prospect draft or no prospect draft (wouldn't matter either way to me), no required drops each year since the cap would come into play each year (playing 2 seasons) based on the SOM salaries they assign players. Only roster restrictions would be those laid out by SOM (see below)
At all times, you must have at least 24 players and no more than 28 players on your roster.
You must have at least 13 and no more than 17 hitters.
- At least two of those hitters must have catcher as their primary position.
You must have at least 10 and no more than 12 pitchers.
You must have at least 5 pitchers who have starting pitcher Endurance ratings (e.g. S7).
You must have at least 4 "pure" relievers (i.e. a relief rating (e.g. R2) but no starter rating).
You must have at least 1 pitcher who has a closer Endurance rating (e.g. C4)
Probably because it was late last night when the thought popped in my head, but wondered how it would be to build a team and be restricted by a cap. i.e. - Aaron Judge goes from .50M in '16 set to "x" in the '17 set. Now I have to adjust for the hit to the cap as part of the 24-28 man roster or do I move him for some guys expecting them to get better (and assuming he continues to have a decent salary number)
The only salaries that would go against the cap would be those on your active roster whether you do it with 24 or 28 guys. Those on the bench wouldn't count against it until you "played" them.
Not sure if this makes sense or if any of you veterans have tried it and have some feedback, but was curious.
