I'm just always leery of those human created studs...

    I'm at my limit in respect to breaking even with my revenue, but I've potentially got about $22 mil coming off the books depending on if I try to resign any of them.
    There's definitely a risk. I don't think anything's a sure thing. The only "comfort" is that all players are created, so hopefully I end up on the good end of things. The odds of finding a young highly rated player with a track record who fits what I want in FA is close to nill, so I'm willing to gamble on the lack of track record. I doubt a Raj or a Sheldon fall to where I pick in the draft, and they're filled out and in theory have less of a OOTP whammy risk.

    Vuvuzela and Greenly are both bigger gambles. I think I've spotted something in Vuvuzela similar to when I nabbed Ryan, and Greenly I'm curious to see if I can replicate it considering our team builds. I'm not sure how our parks compare which is a confounding variable. They both fall under Crazy Mach Studies.

    I likely don't offer on both without my payroll, but the whole plan would be different. DiMaggio and Ichiro wouldn't be making 20MM each, for one.

    Los Angeles : 2B Craig Loe, 900,000 per year, for 1 year.
    Los Angeles : P Jesse Dearmond, 3,200,000 per year, for 2 years.
    Los Angeles : 2B David Konrad, 1,500,000 per year, for 2 years.
    Los Angeles : 3B David Tighe, 600,000 per year, for 1 year.

    Some filler for me to demote a few of the kids. I might platoon Loe/Konrad at 2b and move Murphy to CF.
