FA Discussion Thread

FA is good for about 1 or 2 guys but if you need more then that I'm sure it will hurt your cap later.

Pirates are using free agency to fill about five spots.  Pujols feels that the GM is doing the right thing as current rumors are that a couple outfields will be brought in on small ball deals.  With Ben, Caleb, and a couple free agent veterans, the outfield can be considered below average, but not so bad that it drags down the team.

I'm surprised that David Murphy is already at $9m.  I offer him on the trade block last year with a cash exchange that would equal that contract or less and no one bit.

I'm not surprised.  There are always overpaid guys in FA which is why I'm not a big fan of building my team that way.  FA is good for about 1 or 2 guys but if you need more then that I'm sure it will hurt your cap later.

Hence why you have the Yankees...

I don't get the high bids on LaRoche... Not worth it IMO

Buccos now have Pujols, AGon, and cap room... Watch out FGM

Are you gonna crush this league Colb?

Given the fact I need a decent CI, I have been bidding on Adam LaRoche and submitted a bid that would be $10 (2017).  This was after I was engaged in a mild bidding war with Roy of the Texas Rangers (sounds like a TV program).  I've been having some "bidder's remorse" for the past 71 hours and 46 minutes--that is until Roy swooped in and placed a higher bid with 14 minutes to go.    Without any other CIs available, do I pursue and overpay--or look elsewhere?  Do I wait until January 26th at 9:38 pm to make a higher bid on a player who is not really an impact player or do I thank Roy for saving me from myself?

Hmmmm....what to do? 

POACHED!!!!! I'd count my blessings if I were you Flash, that contract could turn into an albatross.

Let Roy regret that contract.
