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?

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.

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.

Jeff Baker has been announced as a starting outfielder for the Pirates.  The fans aren't enthusiastic about the acquisition, but you can only expect so much after an off-season that involved going after Pujols and AGon.  The Pirates are rumored to be talking to Jason Kubel who is also taking interest from the divisional rival Cardinals.

Decided to let Alfonso Soriano walk as soon as I heard a rumor he might retire after the season. With the buyout rules on this site, not a contract I wanted to be stuck with.

When you have 100+ to spend a dead 4-5m isn't a big deal.  Especially if you're trying to win now.  Padres could never afford that much dead weight into the future.

The listing below, taken from the A and B Free Agents page, is great.  Ben (BrewersGM) year after year mops up early picks.  It is amazing to me.  Kudos Ben.  If only we could all get 500 extra picks every season.   :thumbsup:

    Yesterday at 10:52:54 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody on Earth does hockey like we are about to do it. Its a shame 28 teams are gone without most of the true profsl hockey guys signing up. That's a huge loss. For them.
    Yesterday at 10:54:45 PM
  • Daddy: If you love hockey and you love dynasty and you arent in LIVE than you must hate me or competition more than you love the others. Which is petty & not worth our efforts anyway.

  • Daddy: NHL LIVE Spreadsheet [link] should be available to be seen.
    Yesterday at 11:35:31 PM
