Looking over the draft, Bing Bellhorn and Coco Bunch are some A++ name tools

I correctly gambled that I wouldn't see anyone better in the draft and signed an IFA. If I had signed those other 2 IFA dudes, the same thing would have happened.

I made a gamble that didn't completely pay off, I'll admit it, but i don't regret taking it. Sometimes there's only 1 or 2 good IFA's, sometimes theres a lot of good ones. I probably should have waited to see if there would be others, but i didn't want to take the chance of wasting 25mil if no one else showed. I'm happy with Feliz, he'll never be a star, but he'll be pretty good.

Tbh if you're playing the IFA game art is absolutely right, it's a gamble. I've had multiple seasons where I wound up sitting on $15-20m in prospect budget because the good IFAs never showed up. Of course, my takeaway from that was 'gently caress IFAs' not 'double down on the first halfway decent dude to show up' but

Scrotos posted:The rule to take away is the one AV always says, "You bid what you think the player is worth right away and never move, unless its end of season spend money time." That's also a gamble, unfortunately. All it takes is one person not doing that for each IFA and you end up empty handed at the end of the season. I mean, I get it, Feliz isn't a guy I would've gone all in on, especially as one of the first IFAs of the season, but I understand generally where art's coming from on this. tatankatonk posted:davewillie...???

It's nice that I lost 2 of 3 to Chicago even with their pitcher spot batting 3rd. Jerry Sizemore sucks and I regret re-signing him.

Offense is down, Cashman's on the shelf for a few turns. Really I don't see how I won't be a seller in a couple weeks but I guess anything can happen.
