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...

Nothing new...  KC is strong and built well.

Obviously there were bad deals this FA period. Elcano and Guerrero stick out because of just how bad they are, when you see someone like TM stockpile reasonably priced ML players for less spent than what moy or patrickm spent on one player.

I'm actually surprised moy of all people panicked into that move. Not that I think he's smarter than it, but usually he keeps all that spending money around for his usually transfer to prospect budget to get a top international. He basically removed himself from that game. Which is a shame, because I thought if we were allowed to freely set budgets instead of by small increments, I might have invested in the IFA pool myself. So many teams dedicated money to pursue the top tier of free agents that not many teams are using the IFA pool this year. Vancouver will probably do well for itself. I assume dherz as well. And babypop usually gets a couple good to great guys for Kansas City.

The international market is going to be really critical for my teams success for the next few seasons.

I only did the one division so far, though...

I think the biggest draw of this league is it tends to be the smartest league that I'm in, as far as transactions. I don't often see awful contracts or negligible moves.  $ hasn't had a true rape in a while. By this point most the owners are very shrewd and savvy, or just too wary of being the victim in a deal.

I have consulted my $ advocate on many occassions recently to keep from getting bent over.
