Is there a way to see what your budgets have been in previous years?
Interesting, didn't think of that.
The "sometimes it just doesn't" is what makes it so frustrating. Doesn't seem to be any formula.
FWIW my owner (Ignaty Lt) is listed as Tolerant and Economizer.
AWESOMEIf I'm not busy today, I will do a biggest hole article.
No. In arb, you put a number up and so does the player. The arbiter then picks whatever he thinks is more fair.If I low-ball an arbitration estimate, what happens?
For instance, say I offer $725,000 instead of $900,000. If that 725 offer is too low, will the player counter and sign for something in between 725 and 900, or will I lose him to FA?
The arbitrator either picks the teams number or the players numbers. There is no negotiations. Try to pick a number that you think is fair. If it isn't. The arbitrator will pick what the player is requestingIf I low-ball an arbitration estimate, what happens?

The only way they become a FA is if you pick "withdraw". Then they are a FA because you didn't tender them a contract (that's why they call it "non-tender").
For instance, if I were you, I'd non-tender Farmer rather than pay him $750k or whatever.
Oh wow, I just learned that you can go back and watch the replay of games (at least the WS games).
Very cool.
I have had arb cases where the arbitrator awarded more than the player asked for after I lowballed it. #SonofabitchThe arbitrator either picks the teams number or the players numbers.

I don't think we can see what the player asks for.I have had arb cases where the arbitrator awarded more than the player asked for after I lowballed it. #Sonofabitch
It has a demand thoI don't think we can see what the player asks for.
You wouldI thought that was just arb estimate.
LAWD. I'm bart scott to see if there are any good non-tenders. Going to have to get some bargains in FA to fill out pitching staff.Yours gone? I'll take care of it. Turns out that two feeders adds another 3092309 minutes to archiving, going on 34 minutes
This Guy has a good shot at building into a decent player out of a nobody in my farm system. Just need his movement to keep trending up as he develops. Started at 40/40/50 potential. Sitting at 70/45/60 potential right now at 19 years old.
That GB% not lookin too good for movement to head upwards
Definitely not. But it jumped 5 points this season. Hoping maybe he finds something. His potential is 45 and hes already at 40 at age 19. Just a hope and a prayer
my scout hates everyone I like and likes everyone I hate..
lol.. so different than my last scout. but I can dealTime to fire him and get a yes man on the team.
love guys who just smash through their potentials.. NICE!This Guy has a good shot at building into a decent player out of a nobody in my farm system. Just need his movement to keep trending up as he develops. Started at 40/40/50 potential. Sitting at 70/45/60 potential right now at 19 years old.
@jdlikewhoa So you're bringing Bug up in the spring? Rookie of the Year faceoff with Funk?
Funky hasn't been a bust so far.Nice, Sugar Bear and that other guy sure worked out for me. Huge busts
Funky hasn't been a bust so far.
Well you were impatient with both hahaBusts for me, I didn't even know the other guy's name but now I remember he was a throw in to tip a larger trade's scales. That's a bust from a 1-2
