Look, I'm just gonna say it. Why did it have to take an episode of Family Guy to have the people realize just how great a drummer Neil Peart really is?
On a good day, two Belgians will get me singing. That's probably a little over a six-pack alcohol-wise.
[QUOTE=OrioleMagic;268047]Mission deserves better than this. I have had Galeana, Wilfredo Reyes, and Joines on the market for an entire off-season and 2+ months.
I have not had any interest from teams that should be looking for another piece to make there 2-3 year run at the World Series.
TB: "tried but no dice"
Boston: General is great. Made the moves he could with his salary situation.
NYY: I initiated a small trade due to NYY's lack of a farm system in return for Galeana..etc
Tor: I initiated a trade...
Balt: rebuilding... not compatible
Det: Hafdawg is great. made 2 trades. Hung on to Seth and Carrion like a BULLdawg...
Minn: active, but no farm system left
CWS: made trade. Hung on to Joyce...
KC: I initiated trade... vetoed due to KC not having salary room after FA offer
Cle: offered 5 specs for Galeana of which Klemm and Carroll were the best. Klemm was not enough.
Ana: I had great interest in Rivas. Has a 1.0 and a 2.0 platooning at 3B. Payroll 10 million under last years revenue... What more can be said...
Sea: Haven't heard a word.
Oak: Nick is the man. Not ready to make a move till the off-season.
Tex: one of the most aggressive and active GM's. Need more like him.
FLA: one of two team who really doesn't need anything
Was: made a trade... thin farm system. MoMo is the man too.
NYM: Shadow being himself... a shadow. tried once I think but no dice.
Phi: N/A
ATL: rebuilding
Pitt: the other team that really doesn't need anything
Cin: tried in the offseason... no dice
Mil: tried before Erb... Now Erb is not around.
ChC: Tried... days later no interest...
Hou: ??????????????????????????????????????
STL: rebuilding
Col: last minute try for Agosto at deadline last year vetoed. no interest in off-season
LAD: Dam is great. one trade...
SD: Zep has a man-crush on Uppercut... tried but no dice
AZ: one trade... also rebuilding
SF: Another GM like Halley's Comet. Ya see him once every 85 years.
Why would I make an effort to fix an OLD team? I am trying to get rid of the old players and rebuild! I figured some things out in this league do not take on bad contract's or VETS. I have paid for this for the past couple of season's. I had little money to go after the younger talent. So again once I get the payroll to where it needs to be I will be active. I have two good specs in the outfield playimg now. I need pitching and like all leagues it is hard to get.
If you would have checked my block I have made posts on my team plans and team needs.

last comment on this topic for me. If you look in the past draft picks of mine ( SF) my tops specs I have traded. Dodgers recieved a couple of them. So did Florida. It took me some time to figure things out about moving your best talent, dont do it unless your getting even or better players.

don't throw question marks next to houston. i'll come after you.
Those were referring to Husker...of course no one would ever throw question marks at you.
I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.
Ah, give me something clever to say here.
