Damn, $4 mil for Barrett...

[Providence A's]

damn you Cincinnati! I offered a little less for Waechter, but gave another year...argh.

Pudge will increase my team's fan interest with his 5/6 and 6/6 popularity. Kendall gives me a backup catcher that plays solid D in sim life.

slyder... im absolutely sorry, for some reason your offers didnt get registered... and it wasnt that i didnt enter them, because i remember you outbidding me for xavier nady, but for some reason it didnt register. he didnt sign thankfully, so i just entered them in and im not gonna bid up, so unless somebody else outbids you this round, hopefully nothing goes unrectified.

yea, not like I need him, but I thought I could get him on the cheap with the hope of him filling out.

[Halladay_is_God]

none of my targets got signed but looks like I'll need to improve my offers

[bjd2933]

Overshot on barrett, but at least I got him... I had money to throw around.

[browntown653]

I just find it funny that I tried to sign him at about $1.2 mil and he got $4 mil

[mntwinsfan]

Twins got Williams and Minor both sp's I was after. Did not have much cash to work with should have fixed my pitching problems..

[Dam8610]

Baltimore put a pretty big investment in Castillo.
