I have a random rule change thought:

-At some point a couple of years ago we instituted a rule that players dropped mid-season could only be picked up on one-year year contracts. This makes sense: it got around the problem of a good, expensive player getting dropped who then became a steal if someone scooped him up mid-season when the auction isn't nearly as robust.
-But it leads to diminished opportunities in-season, especially for rebuilding teams who should be using roster spots to take shots on guys. A lot of guys you might want to pick up now have already been in and out of a team, which means there's no upside to him beyond this year.
-So I think the rule needs to be adjusted so that it only applies to those good players who nonetheless get dropped. Possible changes:

-Only players who start the season on a roster are limited to one-year, in-season pickups.
-Only players auctioned for $20 or more are limited to one-year, in-season pickups.

I actually like the system we have in place right now, it solved an issue without being too complicated to implement.

I think there still a good number of opportunities to pick up keepers on waivers. Take Max Muncy this year, for instance.
