id like to leave it alone, but implement a cap hit or penalty of half the cap if a player is dropped. I think it would encourage more trading, and more research with free agents. I think this would add to bad teams, being able to spray a rebullid as cap room would be more important then.

Isn't the overarching goal of this league to mirror the experience of MLB GM's as closely as is practicable?

I agree with Mike but mlb cap is like 190 million but we do convert our caps. I would love to go to real salaries but feel it might hurt dsomee teams

I voted to leave it as is. I think I agree with Danny that there should be some penalty for dropping a player. whether that is half of their salary or what I'm not sure, but with guaranteed contracts in MLB teams cant just release people at will.

Caps will not change at all. This league was set up in the first place to run efficiently with the caps and the conversion chart.

Let me rephrase this. As things rpogress through MLB and salaries rise will will take a vote every year to ssee if the league wants a small increase for our total cap. That seems to be the only real fair way of doing this.

In keeping with our goal of replicating the experience of a MLB GM as closely as possible, my suggestion would be to base our annual cap on the average MLB payroll.
Currently, our cap is set at $125 per team (though some teams have more or less as a result of trading for or away cap space). In 2014, the average MLB payroll was $115,132,013.23. Consequently, our cap was set at 108% of MLB's average payroll.
I suggest that we keep that ratio in place going forward. Each year, we can look back at the average MLB payroll and adjust our cap (up or down, rounded to a whole number) to maintain that 108% figure.
For example, if next year the average MLB payroll rose to $120,000,000.00, our cap would rise to $130. If the average MLB payroll rose to $135,000,000, our cap would rise to $146.

If you had actual salaries I would agree with you mike, but with using a conversion chart I have to strongly disagree. hence why I put the poll up for cap and it got voted down.
