You must have 7 Years experance in the major leagues in order to apply for free agency. Look at the rest of us..We can't apply for a vacation until we ger senoirity on our jobs. I think the samething should apply in the major leagues.

So...what happens if you hit the bigs at say, 25? That's 32 you can be a FA, and who wants to sign a guy into his past his prime years? I think what they have now is sufficient.

A lot of GM's would sign players who are going past their prime years if they feel that they can get good production out of them for below market value.

Free Agency has ruined small market Ballclubs. When a star comes out of the minor leagues after 3 or 4 years he becomes a free agent. Look how Mike Mussina and Curt Shilling has ruined the Orioles. Look how Ken Griffey Jr and A Rod ruined the Seattle Marniers. So this way after 7 years Clubs can still develop another star just in time to join a big league ballclub.

Believe it or not, I agree with steveox.....

FA has ruin the "franchise player" tag for organizations and turned them into other franchise players. Maybe they should try and adjust this. Its the reaon why teams like the Nats and Pirates can't contend, because they can't afford the talent they spurt out when FA time comes.

I always liked the idea of giving more of an advantage to teams who play homegrown talent.

Doesn't the NBA have some kind of reward for drafted players sticking around.

I don't know if it's the same thing in the new CBA, but the NBA has a soft cap and pretty sure they still do. They allow teams to spend over the cap in order to re-sign their own players.

Look how the NFL does it. Ever heard of Restricted free agent? A Restricted free agent means he can't go out on another team.The Club owns him.Thats why Ray Lewis can't leave Baltimore.So in Orioles case Brian Roberts can't go anywhere.

... No, that's not how that works at all. RFAs are only after their third year of service, their club gets first rights to them, and they have a time period in which they can negotiate with other NFL teams, their original team can match any offer made to them or choose to take draft picks to let them go. Ray Lewis is not eligible for Restricted Free Agency.
