Rules for Keepers who were picked up off Waivers or FAs

[j24jags]

I think WW pickups should be kept 15th round and escale 2 rounds each year, also if I draft say griffey round 21 this year, then enxt year he should cost me round 19 pick

Do you think every keeper should escalate two rounds or just Griffey?

Only those that will be in the HOF within 5-6 yrs of our draft.

Only "old" players

My 2p worth:

1) Waiver wire picks that are kept should be a Round 20 pick- I think managers who pick this year's Quentin should be rewarded.
2) All waiver wire picks should be a Round 20 pick the following year - even if they were drafted by someone. They are still a waiver wire pick.
3) I'm OK with escalation - but I think one round per season is enough.
4) I'm assuming round 1 picks just stay as round 1 forever...

The one problem I have with WW picks being 20th rounders is the following. There will be a top prospect who is called up during the season, and the person with #1 priority will probably get him. I don't think they deserve such a reward for simply have #1 priority at the time he is called up.

Zactly why WW pickups should not be kept at all.

I have to disagree. If the pickup was in the draft, he should retain the round he was drafted in. If the pickup is someone who was a free agent, then waived, then picked up again, he should be a 15th rounder or something very close to that.

3) I'm OK with escalation - but I think one round per season is enough.

"Forever" defeats the purpose of escalating. If there is escalation of 2 rounds, rounds one and two go back into the pool. I don't think it would make much sense to exempt certain rounds from escalation.

Excellent point.

What if we did away with waivers all together and all new or released players became free agents? Not sure I really like that idea much myself, but just throwing it out there.
