2nd Round Free Agent Signings

[Providence A's]

he's the best and youngest closer in the FA market, in a skeleton thin MR pool in this league. it would have been well worth it

for the price, I'll take Eckersly ($6 mil vs. $13 mil). Eckersly may only be 10,8,8 instead of 9,10,9 with the potential for 10,10,10, but he's not injury prone. The difference between the 2 is not $7 mil IMHO. Dibble is an even better deal at $4.5 mil and he's 10,8,10. All of them are 27 years old, too.

Time has come to lock down Tex and make me sign with a team. My offer just might be the top one.

Las Vegas gm

[ljshorty89]

Not to mention that if you ask me, control is the most overrated number for a closer(IN OOTP, Not real life).

[DiamondDave]

I was happy to get the 10-8-8 RP T.J. Tucker for 2.25MIL

[Dry1313]

I was happy to get 10-8-8 Brian Fuentes for 4 mil over only 3 years...especially after the year he just had.

I meant in the league overall, before this

Oh ok. I wondered, because the free agent class and draft class is supposed to help fix that problem.

It would if people wouldn't spend ridiculous amounts on contract offers.

8 digits for a relief pitcher?

Dan Quisenberry would be the 2nd highest paid relief pitcher in baseball right now IRL, behind only Mariano Rivera.

[Bon Bon]

About Quisenberry there must have been several other GM's willing to pay over 10 million because he turned down my original offer.

[HollywoodLeo]

Apparently there were, which is why the complaint was made in a general tone of everyone overspending for relievers and not just you.

I guess you can say I'm a bit sore. I tried to deplete my entire free agency cash and got turned down on both of my offers.

[Bon Bon]

That really sucks that you didn't get anyone you wanted. Even though I did get 2 of the guys I will be disappointed if I don't get my main target which I am spending a ton of money on to try to get.

[HollywoodLeo]

Your main target was my other target that I got turned down for, when I thought I was pushing the limit as is.

He's going to become the highest paid player in CSSL.

[Providence A's]

Tex shouldn't even be a FA...he should have been resigned to SF since they had no GM really. Too young and too good to let go...

[Bon Bon]

I really need him because my current 1B is Chip Cannon so I really went heavy and hard to try and get him. I suppose if someone is crazy enough to go higher than me then they can have him because if he doesn't sign this period I just might say forget it.

So Prov what you are saying is if a team has an inactive GM then they should get rewarded for not being active and have someone else do there job?

[HollywoodLeo]

I'm just glad to have him out of the division at least.

[Providence A's]

The team doesn't even have a GM now...it wasn't that he was inactive. He disappeared and is now being replaced. Now that team looks even more unattractive to a prospective GM. That's the main reason why I said he probably should have been resigned.
