I'm glad someone signed him so I get a bonus pick but wow. 22 mil this year?

I believe that only applies to arbitration eligible players.

Bumperoo. I'm gonna be around the ENTIRE weekend for a change so I'd like to get that RF and SP I'm after.

that's a LONG contract for a pitcher

Wow he was definitely one of the best pitchers I had the fortune to see in the is league and yet he never won a title.

Thumper is gonna play 3rd right?

I run ootp 13 perfectly on 8. Altho I do have the professional edition as opposed to the standard home edition.

Im on windows 8. I just turned the setting on and it worked like a charm.

If im reading that PP tracker correctly I have a little over 120 PP.

70 PP to increase Jose Souza's work ethic 70 points.

50 PP (if I have that much) to increasePedro Pineda's intelligence 50 points.

Sorry for the double edit. Changed my mind when I re-read what players were eligible for these.

In Chicagos defense, most of his stars are on league minimum deals. He can get away with it for 2 maybe 3 years but I think year 4 is going to put a hurting on him.

Bump for adding Bell to the block.

Nice story by the way. Always cool to see familiar faces come back as coaches. Bolt was one of my favorites. Mine too. Just wish he could have stayed healthy to see what he could have done... I plan on bringing back a lot of this decade's players from my squad once they retire. I need to make room f...

Im going out on a limb and saying that contrary to what your story says, Bolt did not hit 52 homers in 2009.

Rouses ratings have dropped from 10 contact to 7 to 6 to now 5. his batting average and OBP have dropped each of the last 3 years with only his OPS going up because he doubled his homer total from 3 to 6. With his poopy work ethic I think his ratings drop again this year and his stats as well. If I'...

Yea I think it is a really tough decision. People have gotten complacent throwing big money deals around because lets face it the finances were a mess. But I think the changes you Gov board members are putting in place will make the league better financially and people are really, really gonna regr...

But I love it. Some of the more fiscally shrewd GM's around here are really gonna be rewarded in the coming years. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money as well, though. Particuliarly when you're trying to pull yourself out of a hole (BIR, OMA, etc.) vs. trying to sustain a dynasty (VAN)....

Rouse is on the decline but has some value due to his friendly contract. I'd have Carroll or Maselli leading off. Stephens and Toro will be great in the top half of the lineup. Jones won't put up those same numbers as last year but hes ok. Mendez and Smith are a decent pair up the middle but they st...

That deal for a guy who pitches 70 innings a year is just plain nuts.
