2009 Random Ramblings

[Dry1313]

Hells yeah Yankees pick numero uno.

[browntown653]

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

[Halladay_is_God]

Red Sox looking to buy some FA's

[Dry1313]

Yeah, I'm pretty much taking Ratbreath.

[Dry1313]

$122 mil for FAs.

[browntown653]

$122 mil for FAs.

With a payroll under $34 million...I have $28 million to spend. Good lord.


Dry's rotation next year:

Willis
Sabathia
Carpenter
Karuhiro
Wang

[Halladay_is_God]

you know the Yankees get bad enough when you have Fan Interest at 39/100 (22nd) and still make 169 million in Revenue, coupled with a current payroll at 67 million, Dry could end up spending a lot of money, if he wanted too that is.

[Dry1313]

Well, I'm only going to go after Willis and Carpenter.

I want to introduce Jackson and Clippard next year.

[browntown653]

OK...I have to admit revenue and fan interest and that whole deal confuses me. How the hell do I get TB to be able to spend more money?

[Porter]

NYY better be willing to overpay for Willis or Sabathia.

[Providence A's]

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...

[Providence A's]

here it is

[Porter]

They are allowed one over 14 M, and no more than 25 M in one signing period.

[Dry1313]

Yeah, I was actually happy those rules were instituted, because the other discussion was all that Cap business.

And uh, yeah, I got ****ed in the start with the accelerated depreciation, so I liked the system implemented.

So it's not that bad, but I still don't know which one I'd target first.

[Dry1313]

45, not 25.
