Oh, and one more thing...

a bunch of arby-eligible players were released...but they sucked for the most part. If you're really pissed about losing your player, PM me and I'll resign him to a 1 year deal worth whatever he got in arby. But don't waste my time resigning Paul Lo Duca and the like.

[Doppelgänger]

MVP annd Cy Young. What a duo.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Bo yah. Toronto gets the first 5-game World Series win in MLB history. I like, I like. They played the extra game just to show everyone who's really boss.

[bjd2933]

Jake Peavy was ****ing robbed.

[General]

The AL MVP is a FA

I edited a couple of older players to even out the class a little (I don't want to see 50 mil/per contracts)...Dotel, Cairo, LaRue, etc.

The site is updated for now..I might do more with FAs and I still have to do the draft class.

[bjd2933]

Good, because I'm offering sizemore 10 years @25 mil per

[HollywoodLeo]

woo hoo, 2 gold gloves

[NYgiantsfan5689]

A-Rod was ROBBED of the MVP.

RBI's: A-Rod #1 (130), Chavez #4 (116)
Homers: A-Rod #2 (40), Chavez not top 5 (36)

You make the call...

Would ya settle for 30 million dollar ones?

[General]

Guys, I ****ed mofo (again!). But this time I can fix it.


Greinke and Villareal will not be accepting offers from anyone, as they are not FAs and I shoulda resigned them. This will be announced in the initial FA thread, when that comes.

[Porter]

Three Gold Gloves and a top 10 pick. Yeppers.

[Providence A's]

did you run auto-manager on my team? I have guys that were called up and sent down that shouldn't have been...wtf
