You know for all that art gets called out in this thread, I don't think I get called out for being a bad owner nearly often enough. I'm actually considering a trade with art that, in the long run, I think he wins, and I'm still considering it.

I think this is my chief failing, an excessive desire to roll with the guys I drafted and developed.

I'm so bad about this, "I don't want to make this trade/sign this free agent, I've got (objectively worse prospect I signed/traded for three seasons ago) in AA right now, surely he's ready to make the jump!"

Oh gently caress you gardenald, I offered Blanco 5 years/$60M, with a player option and no-trade, and you beat me with 4 years/$51.5M plus a $10M bonus, a mutual, and no-trade. Suddenly I have extra money that idk what to do with

Higher total contract value suckaaaa

Apparently that's all that really matters even though I'm totally dumping my end of the option in year 4

David Gomez
Richard Wang
Teddy Blake
Mark Cobb
Victor Tavarez

A pitching staff with Dick Wang and Mark "Mark loving Cobb" Cobb = not a very good pitching staff

Tbh if you're playing the IFA game art is absolutely right, it's a gamble. I've had multiple seasons where I wound up sitting on $15-20m in prospect budget because the good IFAs never showed up. Of course, my takeaway from that was 'gently caress IFAs' not 'double down on the first halfway decent dude to show up' but :shrug:

Scrotos posted:

The rule to take away is the one AV always says, "You bid what you think the player is worth right away and never move, unless its end of season spend money time."

That's also a gamble, unfortunately. All it takes is one person not doing that for each IFA and you end up empty handed at the end of the season. I mean, I get it, Feliz isn't a guy I would've gone all in on, especially as one of the first IFAs of the season, but I understand generally where art's coming from on this.

This dude is probably the top player in the 7jerry7 draft. If he actually makes those projections, he's probably the best reliever i've ever seen.

Could certainly use this guy in Dimaggio.

spoilers: he won't

a 20 year old with 45 makeup ain't getting 30+ points in every category

I mean he'll probably still be a useful reliever but
