MiLB Bidding Cash Amendment Proposal

Add the ability to roll up to $15 of your bid cash over yearly to the next season.

I'm not a fan of it, I believe the draft is advantage enough.

No on this.

IMO this would add another option for teams building for the future. Increasing potential strategies is a good thing. The lone current possibility of "use it or lose it" has the result of artificial high bidding at the end of the year. I consider that a negative. I would support the proposal provided it was a finite limit of $15. Trades of bid cash during a year should not increase the amount of bid cash that can be rolled-over.

No on this

Still not sure if I'm for or against, as I see it both ways. Might be more inclined to think about it if it was a lower amount of rollover like $10. $15 (or half your initial allotment) just seems a bit much. Not a big deal, but as Wex said, it adds a layer of strategy to both trading and bidding and that can never be a bad thing. I think we just have to make sure not too much of a good thing.

I will second Wex's idea to make it $10 instead of $15.

would rather not go down this road

I don't see the downside of a carryover. It seems very uncomplicated to me. I think it would encourage reasonable spending of cash as opposed to the "blow it on the first guy" model that we currently implement.

Have the same thoughts. Along with adding strategy. If you have a full MiLB roster and don't want to drop anyone in 2017 then you can deal $20 of the cash and roll $10 over to 2018 where it could be better utilized. Seems uncomplicated while also adding strategy to the league.
