Bill O'Connor: Still a + Reliever, but we're over stocked, and at 35 he's fading. He can still help out, though. On a $3M deal this year and with a Get Outta Jail Free Team Option next, he's fairly risk-free. I'll sweeten it by simply giving him to you while retaining 50% salary.

Rumors that McNeill and Mounds are both into leather abound?

We need to simplify this.

I'm good with that.

The constitution says two years average, but type B have to both meet the two years and have qualified this year, too.

You can make a small payroll work in the regular season, but once the playoffs come it's a lot tougher (it seems). Yes. All the money doesn't change the fact that, even if correlation was 100%, the best team in baseball, when facing another pretty good team, probably only wins 55% of the time. I a ...
