FA Discussion Thread
« on: January 15, 2014, 11:08:33 AM »
Is this thread okay.  To discuss the ongoings of Free Agency?  Things like 20m for David Wright, CHW making a power move for the best available talent.

Or how seemingly everyone wants in on the deep 2014 class of FA CI?

There is so much going on; and it's exciting.  :thumbsup:

I'm not sure I'd call a 128M budget "broke," maybe "cash poor," but definitely not broke  :rofl:

A few things I have noticed:

1)  Albert Pujols for 5 years at 17m is a stunner; can he play five more years?  Pirates must be thinking about the now and intending to eat some of that salary later on.

2)  Mark Teixiera for 5 @ 10m is another stunner.  Can the wrist still perform to make this worth?

3)  Jose Abreau is on track for 17m a year over 5 years.  That's a ton of money for a guy who's never seen a MLB pitch.

4)  Corner Infield is a premium in this league and that's why even though this is a deep class it is commanding serious money.  Wright, Encarnacion, Zimmerman, Pujols, Teixiera, Dunn, Laroche, Abreau; the names are out there this year.  Maybe in years past where Brad Hawpe made off like a bandit, someone like Brett Wallace might have made 10m a year.  The impact is definitely there. 

5)  Also, how does this affect CI extension values.  It should cause the middle 20-60 CI to increase in value overall, shouldn't it?

6)  How does the money spent for CI impact the coming P FA madness?  There are a few big names available for P as well.

The inflated CI dollars is one reason we should give serious consideration to opening up free agency to all positions at the same time.

Instead of all at once I'd be open to opening infielders, then outfielders, then pitchers.  If we do it in three groups I think that would work well.  All at once can get crazy to keep track of bids.

    Yesterday at 10:49:01 PM
  • Daddy: Healthy mix. Couple baseball, couple hockey, different scoring options.
    Yesterday at 11:08:15 PM
  • Daddy: You probably kick ass in all of them although NHL LIVE hasnt officially started.
    Yesterday at 11:08:42 PM
  • Daddy: I respect your gaming options
    Yesterday at 11:09:54 PM
  • Daddy: I would for sure be an FGM or Armchair owner if i were here for baseball. Powerhouse too. Why not? Great leagues with better LMs.
    Yesterday at 11:16:38 PM
  • Daddy: DNHL must be 15 years old. Gotta be doing something right. Most leagues dont make it past 5. Very few make it 10.
    Yesterday at 11:20:45 PM
