2013 Offseason SIM 1 Complete - Next SIM Mon 10/26

Please excuse my ignorance, but is there a way to walk away from an arbitration decision?

Or is it so that if I don't withdraw an offer, I'm stuck with the arbitrations ruling regardless?

Thanks guys!

Need to withdrawal before. Can't go to arbitration and after the ruling say "never mind"

Kind of would negate the whole process don't you think?

You know what's a really good contract?

29 year old Jamie McPherson, the league's #3 career leader in OPS and #6 hitter on the Top Player's List, for just 10M this year.

THAT is a great deal.

Smokin deal. If i could get a couple of those, maybe we could give Maine and Pawtucket a run for their money.

Just keep the contracts shorter if you can.

Remember all the left over money ends up going to owners pockets. If we had dynamic owner on perhaps it would matter?

Either way 71 million has to be fun. Wish they're was some cool Intl player like Fuji right now just to watch you have at itl

I was hoping for a stud International too but the pool is shallow this offseason. But yes, i feel i have turned the page on the dark days of Hartford now the expensive guys are gone.

Okay, thanks.
I know in the NHL, the team can walk away after the decision.
Wasn't sure if MLB had the same option.

I'm excited that we were able to sign Raul Chavez as our scout. We canned our previous scout after only one season. I wasn't happy with his outrageous draft predictions. Sanchez may have been responsible for a couple pieces that came out of Denver a few years ago. Maybe Carlos can comment on that.

Both our Manager and Bench Coach retired so we signed Romaine Beaupre. He is coming off the strong Morgantown turnaround and is also Canadian born!

On a random note, i miss Tim Hortons in Canada. Those timbits were so good. Good coffee too.

It's a Canadian staple! I had my fix a couple hours ago.

I saw an NHL board ad in Columbus the other day for Timmies. It's never really caught on south of the border.

There's one near Times Square but the quality didn't look the same. I went into it but never ended up ordering.

Yeah, some of the border cities do or did have them. Places like Detroit and Buffalo. Ill have to check and see if Kuerig makes Tim Hortons brand. That would be sweet.

Roll up the rim to win!!!!!!

Yes he was. Great scout.

I watch my personnel like a hawk. Or I thought I did because I extended everyone but him.

But I know what happened. Scouts are on a different screen and I forgot.

We´re oficially under way! Nice one!

That International Free Agent OF Alex Chalen still having it with 34 years!! Some of us would have a brilliant future in the BLB!!

I saw Moneyball during the last weekend, it should help me

Proceed with caution. Both guys running the show for the Dodgers are sabremetricians.

Just confirming that we can make offers to FAs...
