Budget comes from winning.

Blowing it up doesn't get you budget dollars.

Just sayin'.

Interesting fact. My players did not win a SINGLE award outside of Seth Walters rookie of the month.

If his ratings look like crap.

Think Baltimore's budget has been big even when he sucked for a few years in the mid 90's. I could be wrong.

Yeah... but that was in the old system. We all got leveled. Where the budgets are now are based on what's happened since then.

6th in the DL in homeruns
12th in the DL in homeruns allowed

How you were able to win 90+ games is pretty amazing, actually.

Keep looking at the numbers and my decision is not so much of a mystery. Even if I could totally retool the pitching the bats are still not a threat as a whole. Breaking them up a bit has to be the answer because keeping them together is not.

Yeah, those numbers were just nuts. Sometimes players just don't mix right.

FTR- Dino's should ride it out or at worst retool (tweak a bit), but I can see where the frustration comes in.

Playoffs aren't set yet, but it would be funny if this team ends up winning the Brew Cup.

If you're able to get what you're asking for for those guys, I say you should break it up!

Well I won a lot last year, went to the playoffs and the Championship and got next to nothing for a budget increase. I would have to look it up but I'm I know it was nothing compared to what I was told it would be at EOY.

I already did for three of them. Ante up Jistic. You can't win without them.

Very frustrating way to end the season.

I really think you were hurt by your inability to acquire an impact starter at the deadline.

OH WAIT....

Ummmm...... so what happens IF all 5 DL teams in contention end up tied???????????????????????

Edit: SORRY EXCLUDE MAINE> the other teams.

You have a $117 budget.... among the top half of the league. You have the 2nd highest payroll due in part to $12+ in staff expenses. You spend almost $3.0 per season just on Single A personnel. I'm not telling you how to run your team, I'm just stating the fact that blowing it up takes your budget backwards.
