1) Designate a formal window for making counters on trades that occur beyond the usual times, like mid-auction, etc.
Agreed, something like 12 hours.

2) Abolish the farm team floor and the lightning round picks in the draft.
Also agreed, don't think there's a good reason for doing this.

3) Reformat the payout distribution (I think this was just getting rid of 5th place)
Yeah, the heavily-graded payout structure was meant to be temporary. Agree that it could be a bit more top-heavy.

Rookie eligible players can be picked up in season but not kept. There were like 3-4 closers on waivers that were unusable
Totally. There are three categories of players on the waiver wire:
1) Non-rookies who started on a TCOF roster (currently addable on a 1-year deal)
2) Non-rookies who didn't start on a TCOF roster (currently addable on a standard contract)
3) Rookies who aren't on a TCOF minor-league roster (not currently addable)
I wouldn't mind harmonizing these rules entirely - everyone on a 1-year deal, as I've noted before - but if that's still unpopular than I think making rookies eligible for a 1-year pickup makes a lot of sense.

Can we start a section in the google doc to track proposals until the February voting period? They tend to get lost in the thread after a while.
Great idea.
