Mostly wondering about

[slavlite]

LaRoche got 6.93 Million
Gonzalez got 4.15 Million

 

[worldwideed]

Wow, learned my lesson here, AVOID ARB.
LaRoche had a vorp of 1.9
Gonzalez had a era+ of 111

Ouch, I did well in Arbitration this year. Although none of the playerzs I had eligible were looking for huge numbers, and the one guy I offered 80% ofg his previous years salary ended up in my favor after the hearing as he ended the season with a -3.1 VORP

 

[pltcards]

Arggh, I lost every arb I think. Man , some got quite a bit more than the est. number that I was sort of counting on. oh well. I guess they earned it.

 

[slavlite]

Yeah Pat, I noticed your team payroll jumped up quite a bit!

Hey Nick,

Can't download until tomorrow morning..

What happened Arb. with Carlyle,Stanley.
Did either Blum or Gutierrez accept arbitration
or become FA?

Thanks, Kendall

To no surprise whatsoever both Cunningham and Higgins refused arbitration and opted for free agency and both want 23 million plus a season for 5 years

Maybe you will get some great picks for them if they sign with someone. Huge demands though.

[Konel07]

There is some very nice FA's available out there! Good luck everyone!

I just offered Higgins a 1 year contract for $20,600,000

and since i am in rare form this afternoon i offered Jeremy Cunningham a minor league contract gee i wonder if he'll sign can't wait for his response.

 

[mm1sub]

Offered 4 or 5 players contracts. Exported for this sim.

 

[redsoxfan1979]

Lots of Studs out there. I think Im not going to sign one person this year.
I let go of Soriano and under 2 million under the cap and think my team is better off then last year.

I'm Kind of in the same boat, 26 Million Under Budget, 3 Roster spots to fill (2 of which will be Minor leaguers coming up) NEed 1 Utility guy, have someone in the minors but I may hunt down a cheaper FA that has better stats!
