Any solution which doesn'tinclude the schedule being corrected to the beginning of the season is not a solution. The opportunty to make this correct was igniored in favor of a league vote. That's bulogney.

The schedule should have been corrected from the beginning of the season.

Anything else is cheating. Pure and simple.

How did our league International signing money get to be so far out of whack with MLB? 

Here's the actual MLB money per team this year. I realize trades have been made, but the totals aren't even close. Since International money is only good for one year, how can we have such huge discrepancies in the totals for each team compared to MLB teams?

I haven't seen any "formula" posted within the league rules that explain any difference in coming up with the amount of funds available to spend on international prospects from what MLB uses.

How did we end up with so much more money than what's available for MLB teams?

Stop looking for excuses NOT to do the right and fair thing for everyone, not just the few with these lame excuses. Have you both forgotten the tie-breakers? I'm quite sure that "total points" is one of them. Not to mention record within you own division.

There uis no way it is fair or equal to be playing in a division where one  of the 5 teams has no "division record" to speak of. I'm definitely not going to be happy if I don't make the play-offs for either of these items,  especially division record.

It obviously doesn't effect the the teams trying to lose, but I am not one of those. Do the right thing and give us all the records and the opponents we deserve and should be playing against.

It's not a tough decision. Just do the honest and fair thing for EVERYONE. Fix the schedule from the beginning of the season. That's what we all signed up for. Not this mess.

My mistake, got him confused with a post from 2012.

I'm looking for a 2nd-baseman for a few prospects/picks. I only have a little over 3m tp spend so obviously not looking for anything special, just someone better than Rickie Weeks, who sucks as usual.
