Harper

Just signed Bryce Harper to my NYY for 7/217. Him paired with Judge, Sanchez, Bird and castro will be amazing to see

Where did Harper end up signing in your franchise?

The Padres. Which Is why I assume that most OS'ers prefer 30 team control. I just can't bring myself to do 30 team control but moves like this make me realize why some feel it's a necessity.

Re: Harper

I cant do 30 either, but i do control 12. Its tough with just that many. But as you said, that's a reason to do it though. They Padres? Hahaaha

Re: Harper

I haven't made it that far in franchise but will have to see if I can find out in my RTTS. But I do know that if this happens in real life I might be through with baseball. Okay maybe not really but it would be rather soul crushing to see my favorite player go to my most despised team. He can go anywhere else as far as I'm concerned but I hope he follows Strasburg's lead and re-signs before hitting FA.

My 30 team control is pretty easy. Unless it's something crazy, like Harper signing with the Padres. I let the computer do what they do. You must control everything about each 12?

Re: Harper

Havent made it that far yet, but Im interested to see.

I do 30 team control but only control the Mets. I only have it that way to make real life transactions. Other than those I let the cpu play itself out.

Re: Harper

If the Marlins can "afford" to sign Stanton to a gigantic contract then why can't the Padres "afford" to sign Harper to a gigantic contract? Sure it would more than likely never happen in real life because the Padres are cheap skates and always have been that way. Although it never has made much sense to me.

Re: Harper

He re signed with Washington in mine. But half a year into his contract he was traded to Pittsburgh for McCutchen straight up.

Harper to SD might have something to do with the home town thing. I'm sure as more people get further in to their franchises or rtts's you probably see more of Harper going to the west coast or AZ. In my franchise I'm far enough in that Trout went back home and signed with the Mets.

Re: Harper

He went to the Phillies in my RTTS career. Probably be a while before I get to that point in my franchise.

Because, the kind of contract Bryce Harper will command in free agency will probably be north of 300 million. that would most likely account for 75% of San Diego's payroll. No GM would ever dedicate 75% of their payroll to one player. You would be out of the job pretty quick. Although San Diego is a decent sized city it is nowhere near the market size Miami is. San Diego padres will never generate the kind of revenue to sign a player of Harpers capabilities. It just would never happen. The two most expensive contracts in San Diego padres history were wil Meyers for $83 million, and San shields for $75 million. You think the padres are going to go $220 mill over their previous high on a contract? If your going for realism in your franchise then Bryce Harper signing with the padres is the furthest thing from it. Sorry but I am just being honest
