IC's in Playoffs

Right now there are no IC's during the playoffs. I agree with this for the minors but I think that players on the major league roster during the playoffs should gain improvement chances. In fact, they should receive double the amount. I mean look at players like Livan Hernandez and Andruw Jones to name a few. The playoffs was a key in their development. I know most of the times realism is not the main objective but just a suggestion.

I like this idea...but I wonder how much it would throw off the balance of power in the game...

the reason that it doesn't happen is because its more of a rich getting richer idea which has been rejected in the past

What about if it just affected mentoring? I would think that guys who had been to the playoffs might be slightly better mentors than guys who never have. Now that I think about though, I guess it isn't the general rule in the MLB.

5-6 ICs, half that for those not in the WS, isn't going to be a big advantage. Playoff teams are full of guys who aren't going to convert a bunch of ICs anyway. Only the rogue youngsters on playoff teams would benefit from this.
I don't think this would throw off game balance, and it would be a nice little carrot for contending teams. But it's not a big factor either way.

How many ICs are we talking about here? 5-6 for a world series winner? I'm in favor of it, but it's not a big enough deal for me to be too concerned about changing it.5-6 ICs, half that for those not in the WS, isn't going to be a big advantage.

I mean if we truly do want realism then the rich should get richer, just ask fans of the Pirates, the Royals or my BlueJays.

I've always liked this idea but it rarely gets any traction because the guys who like the benefits to always favour losing will shout it down.I mean if we truly do want realism then the rich should get richer, just ask fans of the Pirates, the Royals or my BlueJays.

Now if this idea is too extreme than...
The other option would be to keep the CP's earned minimal in the playoffs, so it's just a small bonus. Nothing that would alter the game too much, just a small bonus for the playoff teams.

I believe there should be an incentive to keep winning. I mean in SD it's the same cycle over and over again. Compete for WS, when core players start to decline, than sell off all players, than begin a rebuild. Most owners tend to follow this cycle to a degree. But if we gave more incentives to winning and getting to the playoffs than maybe an extreme rebuild doesn't always have to be done. Can you imagine getting your franchise to a powerhouse level and than being able to continue your dominance because your success also brings in competitive advantage, it only seems right.Now if this idea is too extreme than...
