I'm not bidding on him, I just check in to see what you've bid him up to when I bid up other bums.
Ive got about 12 guys on the hook. The key is finding out which ones i actually want

That's the plus side of having a high budget and not having OVERPAID BUMS under contract. If I weren't paying some of these guys to do their best Nomar Garciaparra impersonations I'd do the same thing. That said, I don't think that SS is going to be worth the money but I'm also paying Ploeg $28M this season.

Oh, $6M is a fair deal for him with that D, I thought you meant you'd keep bidding him up to $10M AAV, which wouldn't be a fair deal. I could be totally wrong on this but I *think* taking on Mustache got me Rand "Colour Me" Gadd, which I'd do over 5,000,000 times if presented the opportunity.
Oh, yeah. His current rate isnt bidding up. What he ends up signing for prolly will be

This is why I do IFA when you're the only "big fish" to compete against. ShookWolf did get burned though on Kang.

What if jar was @TonyGin&Juice all along

Sha is interesting guy actually... Signed some bizarre deal with Halifax and I jumped on him at $2.5m a couple off-seasons ago. Was shocked no one went after him. I tried to give him away (would've gotten $4.5m or so in arb) and thought I'd rather just have Sano give it a go at SS.
Extremely surprised he's garnering that high of a bid. Saw Jesus Chavez is at $6m too. Probably should've held onto him but gave up on him.

@Wolfman21 does Pye make it past opening week?

I had that when I got that fuckstick Nicky Suter from @doh a couple of years ago during the tanking years. Even bitch ass aloof Ploeg was beating on that guy's ass with a sledgehammer.
Did someone sign him?
I did last season
I worry about that control as a starter, but he will probably move to the pen now anyway.
Somehow he put up a 2.64 era for me with similar ratings in 2061. But id definitely stick with him in the pen

For me:
1) Do I go with the up and comers or the stop gap veterans? That's all over the field. Arkell vs Cyclone at first, Alvarado vs Wishev at short, McBride vs Kim at third. I think Alvarado will win SS, but the vets take the other two.
2) Finalizing the rotation. Fresh off signing a 1 year deal, Seguin takes a ratings drop. Bummer. He'll likely start as my #5, but Castro may be ready to take it over. His spring will be interesting, and I think the most likely scenario is that he becomes the long relief guy out of the bullpen until he's ready in a year. Then there's the order - Rubio is #1, but I think Duce might be #2. Arce and Poet are great, but both are slipping.
3) Does Salinas finally break out? He climbed from a 1.1 WAR first year to 2.7 last after getting hot after the trade deadline. But is that his ceiling? Or can he be a 3-4 WAR guy?
I'm thinking I'll be a borderline playoff team again. My pitching should be one of the best, and if my young guys are ready, I'll sneak in.

For Moscow, our biggest question mark is the starting rotation. Pierleoni is going to do what he does, but Mintey and Carcamo underachieved last season, and I have no idea what I'm going to get out of my 4 and 5....I'm not even entirely sure who they are going to be, although I have an idea.
Our second biggest worry is health. Gowing, Cross, and Montoya have all spent a decent amount of time on the DL the past few seasons. Gonna need all hands healthy if we want to compete for the 1 or 2 seed.
Third is our bullpen. Kavur is hit or miss, Xavier is wrekt and coming off a season ending injury, Amato and Lemus are another year older, and Vargas is still relatively young.
Finally, CF. We will be platooning Kenny King and Juan Reyes (the other Juan Reyes), so while we should be MUCH better defensively in center, I'm afraid we won't get much offensive production out of that position.

Borg is a young team, but I think capable of making the playoffs.
Biggest question marks are:
Youth. This team's real talent is young. We had three rookies last year worthy of winning ROY and Kihlstrom took it. How consistent will he, Cuellar, Bernardo, Brown, Hodges, Hjorth, Mendoza and Arevalo be?
Catcher. Bustroff has underperformed the last few seasons. I brought up Lapinga for spring. He may win the starting job if he plays well.
The bullpen. Munoz is aging and took another ratings hit. Beyond Colon, the rest of the pen isn't bad, but they aren't great. Pye should help.
2B. Will my platoon of Gomez and Gilbert stay healthy? Proven talent, but old and fragile.
CF is more of a black hole than a question mark. Signed FA CF glove van den Adel hoping that he wouldn't be completely worthless with the bat.

I missed my first sim, but I somehow remembered ST.
