Gonna go ahead and say that Texas and Philly didn't understand the market dynamics of the S-Class free agents.

Meh, the rest of you had a ton of money available, and my team has sucked for so long I had to do something. Sure I overpaid, but who cares. I just don't wanna be terrible forever.

[Halladay_is_God]

I got the player I needed in Ruperto Paiva but I wish I got some pitching to go along with

[realmofotalk]

Houston will regret signing Peter Sells to 'bolster' the rotation.

You are absolutely right! Much to my chagrin... I looked at available FA money for the teams that could bid and figured that most bids would be above 12 million. At that point, do I want to take a chance with a 13 or 14 million bid or seal it up. As with most signings, it will depend on the players production as to whether he was worth his contract. I am exstatic with the Vaughn and Obanion signings and obviously wish I would have went with a 12-14 offer on Ware. I do feel fairly good about competing against the S3SL powerhouse dynasty now.

Best signing of all, is Cannon at 3.5 million. Why didn't the knucklehead wait a few more days... lol.

A couple players don't elevate you from crapdom.

[browntown653]

It's a start.

[Kingdom]

I guess. Unfortunately for you, the division champs also signed good players. Philly will have it rough if they don't magically make some cash, half their team are arbitration eligible. He'll be living the life of Dave soon.

I don't think this is crapdom:

C-Zubiri
1B-Anders
2B-Giminez
3B-Ozuna
SS-Ware
LF-Benninger
CF-Obanion
RF-Burpee

Staff:

1. Treadwell
2. Vaughn
3. Utterback
4. Ramos
5. Swinford

Pen:

Fisher
Patrick
Hubbard
Deshazo
Melton
Bedouin
Butler

I guess I shouldn't have celebrated the signings so much. I definitely give Florida the title of "team to beat".

[browntown653]

I think he was talking about my team.

[OrioleMagic]

I think he was talking about my team.

My bust then, it was right under my post. I guess I am sensitive since I am trying very hard to build Philly into a dynasty. He is right about my cash. I gotta win and I gotta win on some promo days to bring up the fan interest and the revenue.
