If it helps much, I find often during the arbitration stage offering the players what they want won't be enough to get them to sign. It might be that they just won't respond in time and will just sit there pondering your offer until past the point where players file for free agency. (I actually saw a player do that from playoff stage through free agency once before too). Usually after the regular season is over if you offer them a little more than what they are asking, it will help speed up their acceptance of the offer. My rule of thumb used to be if I reached the arbitration stage and still haven't re-signed a critical free agent to be, I'll make sure to offer them more than what they want. |

I was hoping for a Rich type SP last week. This week what do you know a great SP is available in the draft.

The pitching side of things is decent in the draft...maybe even above average....but the batters....wow...worst pool ever!

Ummm....that Rea contract has to be a mistake.
$14 million over 3 years? Really??

You don't have to go look and get technical with my following question just off the top of your head, anyone else notice control is moving a little more since the change? Just wondering what others thought.

Out of curiosity, did you offer him more during free agency and he turned it down? Some players will settle for far less than their asking price once they hit the free agency market if there are not many offers for them. (Other players simply hold out for eternity). |

Still too early for my measurements to provide any meaningful statistics. Thus far though, the data seems to be right in line with all of the tests I did. A small 2-3% bump. We'll know more in another 30 or so seasons probably. (allow for 2 full generations to cycle through). |

There is a good chance if everyone else did the same thing, and only Havana offered him a reasonable offer that is why he just settled on it. |

Could very well be the case.
Still got my compensation though. I guess that's all I should be concerned about

Is anyone going to pick up Palmeiro for the season?
He's only 27 Home runs from the all time record! |

Alan - I tried to change my password, but it didn't take.
I remember this happening when I first set up my password - is there something else I have to do? Or is it on your end?

I would love to let Palmeiro attempt a run at the HR record for the Legends, but the darn cap will just not allow it.
Alan, if nobody claims him he should be placed automatically on a F rated teams roster. He deserves a chance....C'mon people
