To be clear, this was my idea alone.
I mean, I guess I may not have made it had OM not questioned Gehrig, but at the same time I made the decision (which isn't even final...just brainstorming out loud sorta) on my own because I like it.
As for Gehrig, he'd be a type B if I gave him something which is a low tier 5.0....but I'd also consider lowering that maybe for the older ones? But I'd think he at least warrants a good 4.5.
The whole not knowing if he'll die soon part is why I'd tie it to the GM risking signing him long term.

The easy way around it would be to make it instead of 1 year, make it total value. So, say, 1 yr 15 or 2 at 7.5 a pop, etc etc. No one wants to get stuck with old guys, so there's protection in there. And yeah, the original GM would actually have to want to keep the player in that case, but, that's part of the point. As for Chipper and Gehrig, that's where you can use total value to pull them apart because even if they're close in AAV, they won't be in total value, and AAV can work for the older guys. Maybe make it a 3 tiered system. C if you meet 1 criteria, B if you meet 2, A if you meet all 3. So Chipper would meet all 3. Gehrig I bet meets 2

If you over pay somebody in free agency suddenly his comp worth is higher.
Conversely, if somebody flies under the radar and gets a cheap contract he doesn't get comped well.
I'm not a fan of tying compensation directly to OOTP contract offers.
It's different in real life where it's tied to the team giving a one year qualifying offer that the player can either accept or decline allowing for comp.

People would have to overpay enough to break that threshold though. I know there are overpayments, but to that degree?
