2010 Offseason SIM 6 Complete - Next SIM Mon 03/30

Ed Armstrong is a little bitch.

Can't believe his demands went up like that.

Agreed.

Hey, you didn't help matters!

Yes, yes he is.

We're you in on him too?

Did I just see that Ed Armstrong is going to make more money this year than anyone on my roster? What the...

I had the money and needed a glove at short. Never thought he'd go that high, but whatever.

I blame Indy for this mess. He was ready to sign for just over half as much before they crashed our party.


Edit: Now that I think about it, its also Funclown's fault for splurging on Herrera.

Blame it on all the clowns around here.

I would have had an offer in for the first FA sim, but had my days mixed up. Had a nice $8MM offer over two years, front loaded. Thought I would land him for sure. $16MM later, we got him. My main goal going into the off season was to improve our defense, and this was our number one target.

Dam, his original asking was 2.2ml. Dam.

Yeah I offered him that much and then it jumps to 7-9 mil lol

[tomr1962]

Wow Rory Page jumped to #3 prospect . Never saw that coming. You would think his weak eye would hold him down.

[BradZ]

We dropped out on Armstrong when his demands went up to $7+mil per year.

You got who you wanted. Just crazy what demand can do.

Heck yeah. Such a good player for any contender to be used as a super utility type. He'll be our everyday short stop. If I can get league average offense, I'll be ecstatic.

I'm really liking the storylines. I've never seen this one before

These story lines are great...until your closer is out for eight weeks after fighting his neighbor.

[Delandis]

I saw that.

Sounds like he won the fight, though. So there's that.

[Z]

Looks like I jumped the gun on the Fujii trade. Sort of. Guys' demands come down in OOTP 15. Didn't expect that. Some nice value signings by Syracuse and Baltimore.

[Delandis]

Guys' demands come down in OOTP 15.

Totally unexpected occurrence. This should be a very interesting set of signings ST. You can get some good players at this point. It looks like they adjust to remaining budget $$$ in the league better in 15.

[Carlos]

Two guys I expect will be good pickups. Someone better try to get Gibson. I would love to see Davenport possibly bring him back.

[Delandis]

Gibson goes to Philly or DC.

[Delandis]

Weren't the media revenue increments more than 1M? There is only 5.5M separating top and bottom.

[Ryan]

Hoping these drops in demand increase the likely hood anyone worth signing is signed.

[Pat]

Gibson goes to Philly or DC.

I got $5 on Philly.
