Im also in a division where everyone is over .500 and my last sim played the top 3 from the AL East. At this point last season I would have the 2nd worst record in the league. Another words, Im pretty happy with the team I have. I mean I have more wins than 3 of the teams of the top 5 in team salary and they have a bigger difference in payroll than the 30 Mil difference with us.Originally Posted by Witlon

I really don't see too much difference from the top 10 in salary to the bottom 10. I didnt say I was going to win a divison, I just orginally said I would win more than 74 on my team thread. I was also told, lets us know when you win more than 70, Im more than on my way to surpass that. So I will remain happy with a 50 million dollar payroll and be in the thick of a tougher AL West.
