I'm all for that!
I believe in true incentives...

1st -- subtract 5,000 dollars each time someone strikes out. (this is for Inge, Grandy, Huff, and Thames)
------ add 5,000 for each strike out by our pitcher.
2nd -- subtract 5,000 for each home run given up by a pitcher (should break Washburn quickly.
------- add 10,000 for each home run made (to help Maggs, Thames, Clete)
3rd -- subtract 5,000 for each RBI allowed by pitcher or error by our player
--------plus 5,000 for each RBI made

you guys add others as needed

I like it!!!!!!!!! Carlos would have done all right today with those new rules! I just rewatched the game-Carlos completely carried the team today. Too bad the other 8 weren't playing, we could have won!!!!!!!!!!!
