I overpaid no one, had a far more depleted ML roster when the offseason started (like 5 ML guys to start), traded barely any prospects, accrued a crap ton of picks, have budget distributed in an effective manner and am not that far off of moy in the talent department.  He has a great 1-3 rotation, but mine is serviceable and his has almost no power on offense.

I am not trying to toot my own horn here.  TM had an amazing offseason, gin had a great offseason (though he really threw a ton of money around, he actually has some decent distribution in the budget), BLE, cheez, tlak and others also had really great offseasons...  that is just off the top of my head, I am sure there are others...  and none of them did it in a retarded fashion.

I really think I'm going to like the Newhan/Lee/Roosevelt three-headed monster at the front of the rotation, even if it is only a one year engagement.

there are some players who are worth paying any price to go out and get, a lot of them were available in this offseason, Im not sure that Elcano was one of them, and Im not sure that hes good enough to put anyone in Moys position "over the top", especially with Scottsdale, San Antonio, and a retooled Montreal there.  If he had all that money left after losing other FA battles, im not sure what else he shouldve done with it.  He will be feeling the effects of it in future seasons

Kansas City...

I'm working on the power department. Gin and I put together some solid 3-team deals to get me a power hitting 1b but couldn't find a taker in minky or freegs. I ended up getting serviceable 2-yr contract in Chris offerman from gin for bud lee and departing fa victor cora to replace poor Hootie. I also tried for Kelly Payne but that is over as of this morning....both sides being too far apart. if no other moves occur I like my team. I bettered my 3 and 5 pitchers, added elcano to replace bud lee, and increased 1b production with offerman. My bench is much better as well.

uskerman, your WS prize was mailed this morning.

You probably could have mailed it before season one started though...

Here's the problem with that analysis - it looks at your team in a vacuum. This was an epic FA class. There was a ton of talent that changed hands this offseason, and while you may have spent like your chief competitors, I think you might find that you basically stood still while a couple of them took big steps forward.

Of course, we'll find out soon enough.

Yeah.  You are going to have a nice team.
