Baseball League Pre-Season

I want Cruz too but that bitch can never stay on the field. NEVER.

Thats why i drafted Ichiro. I wanted to build my team around Crawford and while doing that i have to get good power no matter what.

All i know is Bautista, Dunn, Fielder are all going to smack 40 dingers this year.

i only have one true bomber in agon.

Yea. He's a STUD and I'd love to keep him...if he puts up 150+ games of production. But it wasn't my gameplan to draft him in the 3rd round on back to back to back outfielders. But I got Kinsler anyway so I kinda got the better end imo. I got my 3rd rounder for a 4th rounder as well as got a solid 3rd rounder.

Yea...and I love the first 2, but apparently Cruz can't get it done for either.

I guess I'm hoping the Rangers are the best hitting team in baseball again this year.

Sparky do you like anyone on my team?

Kinsler, Hamilton, Cruz, Nathan, Marcum, Street. Before the draft i hope you blew out your birthday candles and wished for no injuries.

Sparky,

Pagan and Fielder. However...I'm scared to ask why.

Sometimes if you draft expecting a player to be injured...you can miss out on an incredible player.

Obviously I'm hoping for the best...but whatever happens happens. Add that I'm giving Hambone a 3 year deal (don't get that in stone yet) also says something. I gotta get the best of the best and hope for...the best.

PennSt are you a sox fan?

I hate having Utley but i felt like in round 10 i had to take him. My only regret will obviously be if he misses the year. Im hoping for a month or 2. I figure Utley for 4 or 5 months with a backup is better then a middle tier 2nd baseman for the year.

Yea...I got you. I was going to send over Cruz for Verlander but I didn't want to push the envelope as I don't LOVE him like I do the others. I have no idea if you would have accepted it but it was something that I was rattling in my head.

Plus...you can get him next season with your contract.

Could you give a one-year contract to a player who WILL be rookie eligable next season and still sign him to a 4-year prospect contract?

And do we get another 4-year prospect contract every year...or once we have our prospect we're done?

If he is out for the year i feel no need to keep him. He is 32 and has been on the down slide for the last 3 years. I will throw him back to the draft next year.

You can have one once a year. But remember if you go over 10 players under contract you lose your 1st round pick the following season.

Cant wait till these waivers come off

Yea...I understand that. But if I add 2 prospect contracts by the end of 2012...I'll have another contract coming off the book. So there is a lot of leway.

But the main question is...lets say Zach Britton doesn't pitch enough to be rookie eligable this season...could I lock him up for next season to a 1 year deal AND THEN give him the rookie contract next season? I know you can't give back to back 1 year contracts to the same player...but does this count as doing that?

'

I had so many players left in my queue at the end of the draft.

And I also have 5 rookies on my team this year...2 of which may not even break camp on the team. So my team is kinda thin.

Only 1 catcher, 1 shortstop and 1 third baseman.

I will look at it this weekend sparky. Like all of you guys i am new to this as well and some new questions are going to come up that i have no answer for and i will put them in the rules. If you ask me i say no you cant do that. You can not give one player multiple contracts.

I like Braun PennSt. Looking to move him for some power? Like anyone on my team?
