2009 Random Ramblings

[Porter]

considering there are rules for FA, Dry won't be able to buy everyone. I couldn't find it, but usually teams are allowed one $14 million dollar salary per period and we were only allowed to spend $45 mil per period...no way will he be able to get two of those guys unless one signs with him early and the other signs with him late...

I think the 4 best SPs will go to 4 different teams.

[Providence A's]

as do I...I just meant that would be the only way one team would be able to get 2 of them.

I need someone to take over for Carpenter, so don't expect me to laid back.

Regarding Fan Interest and Revenue Generating Capability in the different markets... I think you have to toy with the game a little bit to find out. I know Baltimore can support a 100-110 million dollar payroll if the fan interest is at 100/100.

The Pittsburgh market seems to be able to support a 80-90 million dollar payroll with fan interest at 100/100.

Toronto: 90-100 payroll

I'll guess at Tampa and say 70 mil, but I've never seen TB sustain enough winning seasons to get it's fan interest to 100

LA Dodgers: 125-130 million

NYY: infinity

Thanks.

Anyway, obviously TB will sign all the premier FAs to minor league deals. Because I will brainwash them into joining the City of Tampa system.

The yankees aren't the only team with 100 plus million to spend.

D Rays got the third pick fo sho. And it is a MONSTER draft class too.

Don't get too attached.
Well, yeha maybe get attached. You'll just see several name changes.

I also added some spice to the pitchers. I think this class should serve up two quality rounds. I hope.

[bernie132000]

I'll get one of the pitchers, and a hitter too. My prediction is I win the NL West again, and finally win the WS.

[browntown653]

I have no idea who to take. It's gonna be a tough call.

[Providence A's]

wow, Bernie isn't too cocky, eh?

[browntown653]

I'll one-up him and predict a Tampa Bay WS victory for the next 12 years.

[Porter]

As I said, I'm a good pitcher and hitter away from being a contender for the WS. and I'm willing to spend money to get both.

[Porter]

The AL West was supposed to suck last season and they ended up one of the best. How bout the irony in that.

[Kingdom]

Someone's a real ***** in the free agent pool. Wow.

[Providence A's]

a player? who?
