Contracts

[BrandonMUC05]

Just noticed some guys who are not big stars asking for huge dollars on their contracts. For example, on the Indians with a Rafael Perez, who has one year left on his deal asked for a 1 year deal at 5.9 million. Yikes.

Re: Contracts

Not everyone wants to stay with their team. By asking that amount, it basically says I don't want to be here, but if you want to give me a ridiculous amount, I'll live with it for another year.

Somewhat realistic, actually. Better than being able to re-sign anyone and everyone without issues.

Re: Contracts

agreed, I like how it is very difficult to sign some guys and other guys just want to play some ball. Like Barry Bonds wants 14 million a year in my 'chise, whereas Freddy Garcia, ended up signing with the Giants for 750k a year for 2 years I believe. And I went to sign some bullpen help after I unloaded Helms and Eaton to the Rays for Price(they accepted it), and I looked at Otsuka and he wanted friggin 9 million a year from me! Haha, yeah right!

Must resist temptation to cheese the CPU out of their stars...

Dude you completely ripped off the Rays...If "They accepted it" is how you sleep at night knowing you ripped them then so be it , but that's a trade which would never happen...Why would the "real" Rays need another 3rd basemen when they have Akinori Iwamura and Evan Longoria. To each his own...To each his own...

I traded Wes Helms to the Cleveland Indians for Jorge Julio who could be a cheap option to close games for me if I don't resign Lidge. I'm doing pretty good w/ Julio right now, and his heater is nasty. Helms is as good as any 3rd baseman that Cleveland has so he can compete for a job w/ that team, or be used if they get hit w/ injuries.

Re: Contracts

I do like the feature where the players openly announce their disdain for my manager (King Willie the Yankeehearted) and that it will cost more if he stays...

Re: Contracts

I know, I just wanted to try it and see it get rejected but they were all about it, maybe they really like Eaton, but I will live with myself on that though, haha, good pitcher for the future!
