My 65 potential 3rd round pick turned down a 4M signing bonus. Great life decision, moe-ron.

Re: 2038, Sim #13 Chatter
My seventh rounder is a 40 potential. "Impossible" Needed "significantly more than 2.6 mil" or something like that. I said "F it" and threw 7 mil at him and he signed. (I whiffed on IFA this year and have too much cash/budget). I was wondering if that was way too much, but now I figure I probably wouldn't have gotten him if I'd tried 4-5 mil.

Re: 2038, Sim #13 Chatter
But yeah, this is dumb. No non first round pick would ever turn down 4 mil to go to college. They need to re-work the "impossible" thing. It's not functioning in any sensible manner.

Re: 2038, Sim #13 Chatter
Hey, I'll take it. I'd rather be the best team in the worst division than the 4th best team in the best division. Offense still clicking despite Noboru playing like a player with ratings 2 notches lower that what they are and Behner putting up an ERA a run above his FIP. Those two get on a role and we could be dangerous.

Re: 2038, Sim #13 Chatter
Yeah, my 2nd round pick turned down $3 million, but my 4th round pick took it. (both were 'Impossible'). I don't mind the Impossible signing guys, but they should really be top 50 players. There should be more 'Very Hard' signees, who you have to offer hundreds of thousands more than slot to get.

Re: 2038, Sim #13 Chatter
Yeah, my 5th rounder just turned down ~3M as well. Interesting choices by the AI. This is also the most expensive draft I've ever had from a bonus standpoint but, to Ted's point, I spent nothing in IFA and if I'd be willing to chuck million of dollars at players with similar ratings there why wouldn't I spend it on guys I like enough to draft?
