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. Â 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. Â 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... Â that is just off the top of my head, I am sure there are others... Â and none of them did it in a retarded fashion.
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.
