July 3, 201610 yr Lets throw out some ideas. Here's one I had to kick it off - A salary floor. $75 million and if you don't exceed it, you get zero revenue share money that year.
July 3, 201610 yr - A major monetary penalty if you get caught with PEDs. Void a contract if there is one, push down to a little below league minimum for the next season and remainder of that season - suspended for the rest of the year or 100 games, whichever comes first [first violation - second one, banned]. Either this or a one and done. - If two players want to fight, let them fight for a minute, then they're both ejected, no suspension unless there's a cheap shot. If either player or both players repeat this in the next game or later that season, then a suspension, three games, no appeal. If a teammate or teammates get involved, they're ejected, as well, and face a suspension of at least three games, no appeal. - [uSER=2328]@SilverBullet1929[/uSER] is banned from attending all games.
July 4, 201610 yr Contract is made void if a player tests positive for PEDs. I already said that, no copies.
July 4, 201610 yr .- @SilverBullet1929 is banned from attending all games. If I'm banned from the games I'll be posting on here even more and you'll just have to deal with me more than ever. Think about that one assclown.
July 4, 201610 yr All balls and strikes determined by computer. Ump has earpiece that says what to call. Get rid of buster Posey rule. Or get rid of Buster Posey, that works, too.
July 4, 201610 yr The 'automatic void of a contract for PEDs' idea is dumb as hell because there can easily be a false positive. The current system is fine. I really wish they would throw out the current draft system and allow teams to trade draft picks. I agree that there needs to be a salary floor. Force the owners to spend on the field.

I really wish they would throw out the current draft system and allow teams to trade draft picks. Yes, there can be a false positive, but that's why they have the appeal process. I do like the idea of trading draft picks, though.
July 4, 201610 yr Author The 'automatic void of a contract for PEDs' idea is dumb as hell because there can easily be a false positive. The current system is fine. Such a rule would observe the appeal process. If the appeal fails, then that contract should become void. The current system is terribly broken because teams are on the hook for a contract that was signed because of PED inflated numbers.
July 4, 201610 yr You could just settle and call it PED penalties as a percentage of the contract. Pre-determined at signing based upon number of offenses. That's effectively a massive fine though -- PA would never agree to anything like that.
July 4, 201610 yr Author I think that voiding the contracts is the better route. For example, if the Marlins are worried that Dee Gordon wouldn't perform up to his PED inflated levels, they would be rid of him if they want to be. Free to find someone else at 2B. It might even be better for the player in the end because he could prove to other teams that he's able to perform at high levels without PEDs and get a new contract.
July 4, 201610 yr They need to fix the qualifying offer situation they need to do something about the international signings system. And other things. Salary floor won't ever happen.
July 4, 201610 yr Why not? For the same reason a salary cap won't happen Nobody (owners or players) will want either to happen It's basically one to three owners that would be affected it's just not happening. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
