An interesting experiment would be to start with a team 30 to 40 million in the red, 60 million in revenue, with 100 million in contracts, and then make your goal to generate as much gross revenue as possible. Ignore winning. I bet you end up in the same place anyway. Sounds like the spot Tucson wa...

Yep.

The goal is to be perpetually drafting somewhere in the bottom two or three, eh?

It's a weird feeling seeing my team down at the bottom of the list

Three out of my four. The apathy was strong with this class. I decided not to take a restriction next year, but spread my $1M a little too far. Probably a mistake, but such is life. Got one of the three that I put a bid on. Wasn't anything in this class worth getting a restriction next year for so ...

Good old fashioned "challenge" trade.

LBC agrees. I hope it works out for both of us.

Yup. That's all I've ever gotten out of IAFAs

Now that a lot of FA pitchers have signed, in getting more interest here. Likely that multiple guys will move today so express your interest soon if you want a shot.

Russ Ray!

That guy was a beast in Amsterdam.

I mean, you all know I was joking, right?

Gillstrom is hands down the superior player.

I dunno about that...I can't find the season where Gillstrom hit 65 bombs. Seems to me that Gillstrom has a ways to go to get on Gonzales' level.

Please RP Convert Carter Curtis

By rule he will be Fastball/Forkball.

Still looking to move a couple SPs

Whiffed on a couple relievers, but LBC is returning pretty much everyone and has no 40 man space anyway, so

I guess I should have offered Chavez a similar deal. I think I offered 1 year at a little more than his asking.

Gonna have to look elsewhere for righty relief help. Or just put one of my 9 SPs into the pen...

Well the post in that thread says Monday and the calendar in that thread says Sunday..
