I forgot everyone has like 200 mil in money so i underbid. Such a joke
Disappointed at no bats but time to regage and shoot again. Can a team have any more pitching? Is it possible? Hunt probably means Arnold to the pen to extend his career until his contracts up.
Well, I don't plan on using much of mine for the rest of free agency. I'll loan you a few dollars?Quote:

With the way pitchers were in FA, may just have to roll with what I have in the rotation.. and hopefully the 2 callups for the bullpen improve that
I really underestimated on Guerrero. Same years, but way off on salary. And missed Marzano by 1 year.
Figured I had to go big on him being what I needed and under 30
16M for Hunt? Holy overpay.
A big F U to Frisch for not liking my team. I had that offer beat.
Also, I hate it when the top FAs sign in the first round.
You all do realize Frisch is over his talent line, plus his stats dropped the past 3 seasons. He's a solid 2B but he's no where near 12 million. Conversely, a far superior 2B in Eddie Collins took just 5 mill a year for his last contract.
Just saying.
I offered 8 mil and thought that was overpaying.Quote:

If Collins were a free agent, I would have offered him the moon(more than what I offered Frisch) and wouldn't have given a damn what anybody thought. I wish I could have had a shot at Frisch for Collins price, but that's not how this works.Quote:

I offered Frisch 10 mil for 6 years, and Hunt 4 mil for 4 years. I'm perfectly happy with who I got in round 1 though with Pearson, and Maldonado.
I offered on one guy, got one guy, and ended up overpaying based on the other couple of offers he received. Still it filled the hole at 1B and payroll is still low so I'm happy.
Got outbid on all my offers. Oh well...
Understandable, being under 30 was a big seller for me.Quote:
