Yikes! 7th highest payroll for my Wranglers? Could be a long season

[claphamsa]

we got bling in hippyville!

[timmae]

Expecting bench to be damn good!!

[EagleFan]

Just need Yuma and Kalamazoo. Once I get the lineups (or request to let OOTP setup the initial lineups for the teams) I will sim to the start of the season and post the preseason predictions.

Then it will be on to the season.

[BYU 14]

Wow, either I am the second coming of Billy Bean and Staten Island will be this years version of the Royals, or I am Matt Millen in flannel and we will be every season prior to this season of the Royals.

Gehrig for 7.5 mill is a steal though..

[EagleFan]

Once Yuma gets lineups in (or asks for the game to setup the lineups for them), we'll be moving towards the start of the season.

[Julio Riddols]

I'll get you my lineup in a few

[EagleFan]

Received all. Will sim up to the start of the season and post the preseason predictions.
