TM- you see any of the opending day from the WSOP that was on last night?
No.  Anything interesting?
not really, other than the overhyped 21 year old chick who won the EWSOP at 18 losing
She's definitely overhyped, but is quite good.
she laid down a hand that would've busted 90% of us.  Very surprised she did that.

What teams are left in Minor Leagues?

Anything I want?
Not sure what else is available now that cheez got Louisville.
The team that used to be Helena has been solid for years; the team that used to be Wichita has been bad for years. Then there is jwelsh's Pawtucket team.
Not mine anymore.

I looked at that Helena team - obviously I couldn't see any projections, but at a glance it looked like that owner was only planning to be around for a few years and ran the team as such.

I will officially be out on HD within a week or so.  May consider adding another HBD team, but not if it is in complete ruin.
taking over complete ruin teams are usually the most enjoyable to me
I don't mind it...  but they need one strength I think...  I don't have the energy like I did when I took over other teams...

Talent but bad salaries and no prospects, no ML talent; lots of prospects, etc...  Completely devoid of good players at any level sort of sucks though.

Helena looks like they are in pretty good shape. He has kept six 1st round picks in the past four seasons, though they were low and supplemental picks. He has a $117M payroll last year. Best player (94 overall) is 27. The rest are all in the 27-33 range.
8/11/2010 10:21 AM
Jeez that is a massive payroll.

What sort of contracts are we talking about?

What kind of shape does dubbs have his squad in?

Is there talent left on that crappy team?

I have two Type A FAs that I have no intention of signing. However, I really don't care about the draft picks, as my budget for HS/Coll scouting this year will be 2/2. Can I trade them to another team early enough for that team to allow them to walk and then be awarded the draft picks? Or would the "re-sign FA period" pass before the trade was completed?
8/11/2010 10:27 AM
Helena has also had a training budget that moy would be proud of.

Um, have you considered looking for yourself? You have as much access as we do at this point.

At the risk of displaying poor form by quoting myself, I'll bet I cannot trade a FA before signing him.
8/11/2010 10:32 AM
Yeah, I don't think that would work.

I can't view the league since it rolled I don't think.  At least I don't see it on the list.

You're right - mitchrapp has links to the profiles for the open teams in the Classified thread.

yeah, you would've needed to trade them last season, you could potentially sign them and trade them for 1st round draft pick equivalents
