FA Day 1 Suprises

[Yanks in 05]

1) How much people overprice players
2) Pedro at 20 mil plus in first day
3) Berkman at 17 mil in the first day
4) Whitesox spending so much money
5) Gange 9 mil
6) Some of the Middle Level/High tier SPs offers are low
7) Lack of 1 year offers

What are yours?

[Gertie]

Pedro over 2o mill tops the list. Next comes the fact that the much-hyped Hidalgo only got 8 mill. Beltre got a huge offer, while Glaus got 1 offer for 2 mill and Aramis got nothing. Derek Lowe only had one offer, while the price on premium RP is skyrocketing. Meanwhile, everyone's ignoring the roleplayers like the utility guys.

Not me :) I went after Vizqael and That 1b guy, im blankin his name, buts a 2.0

[PEDROaMET]

Yea, I AM NUMBERS 2 and 4. i like pedro, wut can i say and i got the cash, i have the 4th highest money left for extensions in the league. hope those other 3 dont do too much

[Yanks in 05]

I'm surprised nobody's surprised that the Padres, the thriftiest team in this league so far, went out and bid a whole ton of money.

Pedro @ $21 million/year?!? damn.

[stocker323]

Only 2 people went after Hidalgo and 1 person went after Roberts. Also only 2 people after Nomar, which is surprising seeing the number of people who needed shortstops last year. Apparently not many people need a catcher. The number of people that wanted Wade Miller.

Well when you have your payroll at under 20 million or so, you can afford to overspend for some players, so I'm not too surprised.

[soxonfox]

do you think the sox signing miller had any effect on how much ppl wanted him at all ?

[YanksHater213]

More than likely.

Could be, but not for me. I've always liked Miller (in fact tried very hard to trade for him in the first sim), and he's pretty good in this game.

[soxonfox]

disregaurd please.

[soxonfox]

my surprises are:

how much berkman and pedro are be overpaid
how many ppl want miller.
how so few offers were recieved by nomar, glaus, dotel, kolb, rivera.
how many ppl want farnsworth.

He didn't turn it down, he wanted to test the market.

[I LOVE WOMENS VOLLEYBALL]

does that mean that offer of mine is still on teh table???

[element1151]

No, you have to make another offer, all extention offers are over.

EDIT: You can still make the same offer though.

[ang2124]

well i spent the big dough i need berk or my team aint lookin too good im the top of all the bidders for the guys i go after.

[Radgeta]

didn't u release berk in the first place? If so i don't think he'll resign with u

[ang2124]

no i didnt release him he was arbatratoin the whole simm and all of a sudden in the last simm he becomes a f/a hmm i wonder y i have no clue and then it turns out 11 mill wasnt enough for him so here i am biddin 17 mill for him
