2014 Offseason SIM 6 Complete - Next SIM Tues 01/12

Whiffed on Robideau by a little (to Matt of course) and still have some cash to spend.

It was between offering Moon the moon or Robideau and having $10m in the bank. I figured I had a better shot at Robideau.

I'd been trying to sign either Moon or Mejia all offseason, I already had an offer out for him from the previous sim. I figured more people would go after him given the lower asking price, so I just kept my offer in the same neighborhood it had been before. Glad I did.

Very excited with my pitching staff now.

This literally goes with what Pat said in the Legend Series. If you have the money and can sign a star...sign them. Except he would have offered them a $40m Team Option thus the rule.

It puts me right up against my budget, but if he keeps pitching like he has been, I think he's worth what I'm paying him. I figure if I can add a top pitcher without having to give up anything other than the money, it's worth it, so long as the salary is within reason.

I didn't really need another SP, but couldn't pass up Moon. If we can make it to the playoffs, a 4-man rotation of Lippert, Moon, Osorio and Razza would look really nice.

I remember long ago Jistic signed Dante Geake to a huge contract even though he was already strong at SP, then rode that loaded pitching staff to a title. Not sure we're that good, but it's the hope.

You won the offseason without a doubt. +20 WAR is a huge gain. Very impressive.

Offseason champs! Hopefully it doesn't turn out like the results of the football team from Washington every year...

Sometimes I wish I paid more attention to some of my mid tier prospects' fielding ratings. I think there are a couple (literally) of guys on my squad who I'm pretty sure were NOT very good fielders that are now damn good fielders according to my scout.

[fsquid]

I didn't sign anyone.

It feels odd running a Guides club that ranks 13th out of 24 in payroll and doesn't own a single one of the league's 25 highest paid players.
