Seconddeddedd

By the way, deal me Hoffman you effing Alaskian fisherman!

[Kingdom]

I just hope I didnt underestimate the amount of insanity in this fa day. LA needs an infusion of EVERYTHING.

I imagine it might be though, with the number of players available and the number of active teams being high..

[OrioleMagic]

I predict George, Garcia, Bryant, Vandoren, Haug, and maybe even Castillo and Dolce all get around or over 15 million. George probably around 20 million.

[OrioleMagic]

What a disappointment. Pitt raked 25 signings. I gotta take a deeper look at this. 15 Million for Earl Dail?!?!?!?!



I gotta crash. But I gotta say this first. I have deep respect for MoMo. I have great admiration for Sabu as he is one of the guys who taught me OOTP a couple years ago.

I think we really should have drafted all blue star FAs, by MoMo signing them to one year deals or MLCs after FA season. Or we should have deleted them. I don't so much mind losing a 26+ year old to blind bidding. I am bothered with losing Theron Pearson and others to contracts that undeveloped players should never get.

I personally think the way this FA period went down affected the parity of the league. I don't have a solution to offer... I hate to identify problems w/o solutions...

Good Night all.

[browntown653]

WTF, Pittsburgh??

[Porter]

All I know is. They should pay every penny for the life of the contracts. If I notice any other them getting reduced to a MLC after this season. I'll take issue.

[HollywoodLeo]

10 million dollar contracts to minor league prospects?

[Porter]

Another words. If they get an automatic resign (which they will). They should have to pay what they offered for the 1 year deal until he's passed arby or resigned. For trying to circumvent the system.

[HollywoodLeo]

If I would have known people were going to be offering major league contracts to prospects who aren't even major league ready, and had I especially known that some of these contracts would be in 7 figures, I wouldn't even have bothered offering contracts to prospects.

In retrospect, the specs should have been off limits and subject to a continued contraction draft.

This turn of events kinda perverts the league IMO. Practically 10 million to a 9-5-6-10-4 prospect who's not filled out?

Whatever. I agree with Porter that the contract should remain each time its renewed. Have fun with your finances, Pitt

[ricky]

hole filled at 2b! epic win!

[HollywoodLeo]

All I know is. They should pay every penny for the life of the contracts. If I notice any other them getting reduced to a MLC after this season. I'll take issue.

If they're reduced to MLC after the season consequences should never be the same.

[Foster]

Hey, I got something from this.

[Providence A's]

The game will automatically reduce them to MLCs or league minimums if they are up in the majors.

[Slyder]

wow I thought I was being a douche for offering a couple mil for a couple prospects. Is Pittsburgh even going to bother TRYING to field a 25 man MLB team? Their payroll after this crap is 104 mil...
