Yes this is what we have been telling you for years. Maybe you and evilbeard will figure out FA eventually.

I was under the impression that AV was going to pay him. If I had known he wasn't, I would never have dropped out.

How the hell did you get Vin back so cheap? I had him at 13.5 mil for 4 years when I dropped out and got Ayala. Ridiculous. I should never have dropped out.

he's 33 years old, lost his CF range and I gave him 8m AAV so I wouldn't call it cheap

You told nasboat straight to his face you were dropping out, he easily could have lowered whatever offer he may have had out there. I don't know what made you think I was going to pay him, I was never interested in him. Ayala's a better deal for you anyway.

This is right up there in the worst pitching staffs i've ever assembled. It's so bad I kind of want to bring Aramis Hernandez back up so at least I can have some fun watching us lose every game 17-16.

Type A/B rating are based on overall rating compared to other players of the same position, aka the only thing Kurt Cardona has going for him.

Not sure why you'd bring up Mohler when I threw everything I possibly could at that owner, and he still liked your vastly inferior offer more. There's literally nothing I could do to change his mind. I even offered Brian Jodie, Sheehan, and Monroe out there, and he still said no.

I brought it up because you had an offer already on the table that you mentioned to everyone that you should've taken and run and instead you sat on it and asked around

it's a literal example of exactly what i was saying. you wouldn't know a good deal unless someone told you it was a good deal.

fwiw Al Dotel led in all-time career WHIP and was like #2/3 in ERA as a reliever with like 2700 career IP before uublog ran his corpse into the ground and jacked up his career numbers.(I think Roosevelt/Wehner/Elcano probably would all still have jumped him before they start declining, but that accelerated it a lot)

I have no idea but unless you want to be commissioner I wouldn't really consider joining at the moment

basically I am commissioner and can't/won't do it anymore so someone else needs to take it

this has been assbutt being brutally honest and not helping his case, thanks for tuning in.
