I am going to have 17 new ML players on the $ roster...  I think it was something similar last season.  I wonder what sort of bullshit I can pull off this season.

It's not a bad deal. It makes mbriese look like an errand boy, but if someone told me "I'll trade you two good prospects if you just sign these guys for me and trade them to me, covering their salary", I'd be tempted too. Depending on the worth of the prospects compared the freedom of the cap space...
It is silly not to...

I offered it to VD as well but he got greedy...  and mbriese gains from that.
he got two players who will likely never make the bigs due to health/talent for 4-5 million bucks while making another team better. sounds like quite the deal for him.

I offered mine to VD, too...he just said it sounded collusive.  Which just translates as, "I'm afraid this benefits you more than it does me, so I'm going to turn down this chance to improve my team."

I got two players that, with my decent AAA pitching coach have a decent shot to make it into the MLs and gave up $4m that would've otherwise gone unused to a NL team. Sounds good to me. Since this obviously doesn't annoy you, why are you so butthurt about it?

Of the Oscar contenders I've seen, official rankings:

1.  Inception--A+
2. Social Network--A
3. True Grit--A
4.  The Ghost Writer A-
5.  Black Swan--B

Not a contender, but significantly awesome...Exit Through the Gift Shop

I never saw Social Network or True Grit, but I heard both were awesome.

Dubbs gets paid for working out?  That's like VD getting paid to watch High School Musical.

Don't know if your hitting will hold up but your fielding has improved.  Pitching is alright.

Well, you've got Mink's approval, Robusk.  Should be good to go.
