    Who says they won't take a reasonable offer? You haven't given them one yet, lol

    Re: '59 O's

    That can be a risky thing in my opinion. If I lowball them, I might cause worse demands or end results.

    Please check for demands first. If they have demands, post them please. If they still want an offer, go with the following:

    Bonds: 13M x 3. If he wants more years... I'll do 4 but thats it. If he wants more money, I'll go 14M then 15M.

    I have to wait on the rest due to age and performance. If I can get Bonds reasonably, I'll probably agree to Stearnes demands.

    Thank you.

    Re: '59 O's

    That risk exists with any "wants offer" scenario regardless of loyalty, but I would presume that a loyal player will have better odds of not acting lowballed with a reasonable offer.

    I haven't taken any real data for an actual study, of course, but going off general feel of experience I don't get the impression "loyal" players ask for specific demands any more than non-loyal players. They just have more reasonable demands when they do have them and take more reasonable offers when that's what they ask for.

    You've ran this longer than I have, though, so you may have a different and more qualified perception.

    Anyway,

    Barry Bonds: Wants offer, and now trying to disprove everything I wrote above. Money not enough, mood isn't bad at 13, 14, and 15 x 3. I tried 13 x 4 and he said "slowly getting impatient" so I stopped there.

    Orel Hershiser: still wants offer

    Turkey Stearnes: 15,080,000 x 4

    Lew Burdette: 4,730,000 x 1

    Re: '59 O's

    It is my general (there is no always with OOTP) experience that loyal guys will show there loyalty in April with clear demands. Other than that, I agree that they just seem more reasonable.

    Please offer Bonds 14M x 4 and then 15M x 4.

    Hershiser and Murray may have to go to FA if Bonds and Stearnes cost me 30M to retire as lifetime Orioles.

    Thank you.

    since I am new, I'm trying to scour these posts and learn what i can. Wanna I understand everything. for the contracts, when it says 14M x 4, is that 14 million over the 4 years, or 14M per year?
