Continuing to beat the dead horse... However, since we are all patiently waiting for the patch and v2 of the rosters (almost like it's planned both will be released at the same time
)
please note the sarcasm
Anyway, after the FA list having a handful of stars after 2013, I was curious to see what would happen if I went ahead and simulated to the offseason. As soon as the date came to sign other FAs I noticed a swarm of trades happening. All of them were 1 stud player (Hanley Ramirez) for a prospect not making much money... Fast forward to the end of Spring Training, I go to the Free Agent screen and I can't name you a player that WASN'T on the FA list, besides Pujols and Mauer... hah From Lincecum to Felix Hernandez to Ryan Howard, etc.
I know it has been discussed before that maybe the potential in other players is causing this, BUT I noticed that all teams only had 9-10 million tops in cap room. Every player on the FA list is wanting 12-13 million and rightfully so, but no teams can sign them...
Maybe this still is a result from the assortment of players with high potential and teams are having to pay 5-10 million for all these prospects when they become FAs, which would make sense.. Just figured I'd throw it out there..
