Default Re: Would this work?

How many guys are gonna sac bunt when a homer is worth much more? Maybe a bad example, but it pretty much eliminates the team aspect of the game. It would work far better in baseball than football or basketball, though.

Yeah I guess there would have to be a bonus for wins or something to help people play more team oriented. Or make 10 sac bunts/flies worth a bonus. Teams could even set their own barometers, for example if you want a more small ball type squad then reward steals and sacs more than HR if you want.

Just throwing something new out there, I'm pretty sick of people complaining about ARod and other "high priced" athletes. Yes, $30m+ per year is outrageous, but he definitely deserves whatever the market will pay him. If teams don't want to pay players $30m per year (with no guarantee of performance) they should try to change the system.
