SIM COMPLETE - 1999 - Free Agency 4

My scout went -2, -1, -1. Of course my nutty scout had his POT at 8-8-8-8-7 so he had nowhere to go but down.

Interesting. My scout never had him that high. More like 6-7-7-6-6 or something to that effect.

Funclowns scout sucks.

Lol, starting to agree. I'm waiting for him to retire. My assistant coach is waiting in the wings.

Colon makes his first ever appearance on the Top Players List (#20). We've made the decision to move him to SS full-time and let Chavez play 1B. Maybe the change bumped him, but I've been waiting awhile for OSA to catch up to my scout's take on him.

I love my team right now. I feel like we've lean-engineered this off-season and we're primed to recapture the crown.

Still shopping some players, but if this is the team I play the season with... I'm super satisfied.

Great extension for the Clowns on Morgan. I was looking at closer to $16 per on him, so locking him down at $14 (IMO) is a bargain.

I'd love to sign Lindsey to an extension.

Useless stat of the day:

In 96 the top team (player payroll) was 91 million, going into this season in 99 looks to be at 115 million.

Looks like yearly inflation at around 8.5%. Not too bad so far.

I'm wondering where the hell Pat's going to play him.

Forget the defensive liability, I'd be more concerned with him playing the field since it leaves a lot more opportunity for injuries. I thought about playing him at first sometimes but I think I only did for interleague. Same with Woodbury...even though he's either normal or durable, was always too concerned with the old man breaking a hip or something.

I'd guess 1B.

I look forward to a lot of unearned runs in DC this season.

Glad to get Morgan wrapped up to what should be a pretty team friendly contract towards the end.

Just don't break him.

I've done a lot of the heavy lifting. You need to take it from here and get him into the HOF.

VERY team friendly and easier to trade if you needed to. Great move.

You suck.

It's about time someone in the Pilsner did something right.

He was slow-cooked to perfection in trademark Colonials fashion. Well done as always, Clay.

Don't you love when you slow play a starting pitcher until he is 34 and then BOOM... he gets that OSA bump and you know all that patience has been awarded?
