The glass half full.
from the Hardball Times

When the new Collective Bargaining Agreement was announced last November, changes to the draft were widely panned within the game. The new bonus pool system forced teams to rein in their spending, removing one of the few remaining arenas in which small-market teams could leverage their spending to remain competitive in the standings even when they can?t in payroll.

However, since these are the rules teams are going to be playing under for the next half-decade, it?s worth looking at them in a positive light rather than simply focusing on the detrimental parts. One change that most everyone in the game can agree was a step in the right direction was the earlier signing deadline. In 2011, draftees had to be signed by Aug. 15, giving teams a full two and a half months between the draft at the beginning of June and the signing deadline. In 2012, that deadline was moved up by a month, meaning teams now must sign their draftees by mid-July (the 13th this year).
