I've been using this template for both of my HBD teams for a few seasons, and I think it's been useful for me as far as the big picture goes. I'm sharing it with everyone on the forums because I think it could help newer owners such as myself to plan out who's going to be a FA, who hits arb, etc. It's a simple Google doc, so there's no macros or anything like that. If you want to use this, you'll have to either A) Click File > Download as Excel and simply use it in Excel rather than a Google doc or B) Download the file in Excel format and re-upload to your own Google Drive (if you want to be able to edit it from anywhere this would be my suggestion)
Of course, my template is not an end be all, you may find something that you don't like with it or have add-ons of your own. I have contemplated making an equivalent to the "Franchise Payroll Analysis" page but that just seemed like overkill so I haven't done it. I've left my Minnesota team in Boston Tea Party in the template as an example of how I use it.
Enjoy
