I say budget, but you could always equalize the budgets and give us all $X million dollars in TV contracts, set it to a 99 year contract, and turn off revenue from games/other things. That way we are all COMMUNIST equals.

EDIT: You could also tell the game to redo salaries, so that superstars get x amount, elite players get slightly less, average less, etc etc. This would involve some effort but add some nice strategy to the game.

Surprised Waino lasted this long, and apologies for taking a few hours to make my pick. Next ones should be faster.

Yes, you can.

If you're questioning this, you haven't checked the giants' page.

...until now.

Truly it is complete. My favorite touch is the unintentional effect of the blingee watermark showing "Home of the San Francisco Blingee".

That, or ADAM Blingee.

Petitioning to rename my team to the San Francisco Blingee. :snoop:

AJ was a guy I was pondering when I took Beckett. Nice pick.

I was just kinda browsing through a list of SP's yet taken and had to check a couple times since I was surprised he lasted this long. Let's hope OOTP doesn't hate him for some reason.

Oh man I assumed no, hence why you know who is undrafted.

OOTP loves Avila and I'm prioritizing good defense.

This is important. OOTP has some really wonky ratings for players that explains why many of us (myself included) drafted relative nobodies much earlier in the draft. Why it considers Hechevarria one of the better shortstops is beyond my knowledge, but Avila is also ranked very highly.

So would anybody want a guy who's been a solid 2.5 WAR second baseman (Ellis) for a few seasons leading up to this season for their next pick? There's a player I want and I don't think he's going to make it to me and I'm kind of regretting I didn't take him instead.

I'd be interested, though I'm not sure if my pick is much better than your own. (SF giants)

Some of these teams are going to be disappointed when their third or fourth starter, a prospect, receives his first scouting report and has downgraded from a potential of 4.5 stars to 2.0 stars.

Ooopsie, can I (SF) still pick then? Was without internet for a few days, don't mind that I lost some position for it, but would like to fill the roster now if I can.

EDIT: If it's any consolation I was at a Giants game earlier too.

If the pick clock gets to SF before 2PM PST today, just go past me. I won't have internet that doesn't block SA until after that time.

The SF Blingee cost only $80.529 million, of which Adam Wainwright makes up 20 million, or about 25%.
