That's true.

Looks good. I'll be following.

Thanks for following. Maybe Cano will only get $290 million now instead of $300 million.

New York at Toronto: Game Two

Thanks for following. I doubt I'll complete another season but you never know.

New York at Toronto: Game One

You can forget about all that talk about Benitez. Five years for a 37-year old pitcher is too crazy for us. It wasn't all bad. We got Casillas to eat up some innings out of the bullpen. And with that I think our 2009 roster is set.

Whoa. Here's a name from the past. Armando Benitez. He had some pretty great seasons when he was much younger. In real life, his last season was 2008 with the Blue Jays. In this dynasty, he didn't play in the majors in 2008. We're willing to risk $500k to see if he has anything left in the gas tank.

Time to turn to free agent pitchers. We're not too impressed by the starters that are available so we're going to try to improve the bullpen. The bullpen was a problem last year. Casillas ate up over 100 innings last year. We like that. Oakland has proposed a two-year, $1.2 million contract so we're going to make our offer two years, 1.29 million. I feel like its the Price Is Right and I'm outbidding my opponent by $1. I can be jerk that way.

Alright! Our team is starting to take shape.

Yeah, he had an absurd season.

Well, now I'm becoming angry. Here's a look at our free agent bids minus Polanco because he signed with the Cubs for crazy money. The Phillies trumped our offer to De Luca. They're willing to pay $6.5 million over two years to a 36-year old catcher which upsets me. We may have millions to spend on players but we can't go blowing it on backup catchers. That's a lot of loonies and toonies. We've got Tim Hortons coffee to pay for. Those Timbits add up. Let's take a look at the highest alive bids: The Yankees are up to their old tricks throwing around money like a drunken sailor at Billy Wagner and Orlando Hudson. That's probably a bad metaphor. I mean how much money does a sailor have to spend? Especially if they've blown it getting drunk? Maybe I should say the Yankees are spending money like a pirate back in port after looting a Spanish galleon full of treasure. Nah, that doesn't have the same ring. But I do know one thing: We're not going to get outspent by the Cleveland Indians. We need a second basemen and it's time to spend. Spend like a horny pirate in a brothel after a year at sea (That works). Absolute monster season by Roberts last season, stealing 83 bases, hitting .319 with 16 homers and 93 RBIs. We'll break the bank and offer him 32 million over five years. Don't think Cleveland will match that. We'll see

Screenshots with the modded stadiums look great.

He better ...

While we're still stinging from our failure to sign Polanco, we realized we need a backup shortstop to replace John McDonald who we didn't resign. You can't see it in this screenshot, but Brown has high potential. He had a pretty decent season for the Anaheim Angels last year. We offered him a very club friendly contract. We'll see if he bites.
