How important is 20 million in High School, College, and Advance scouting? Is there a huge difference between, say, an 18 in those and a 20?

And im trying to get everything in order but also I don't know what free agent prices will be like so its very hard for me to lock down what costs are going to be. Im not planning on winning this season anyway but I don't want a team that is worse than the 03 tigers.

Are you kidding me, I've had 2 teams worse than those guys in 3 seasons!

I forget, was Teddy asking two seasons to begin with or did you just jam his three season demands into two? The Tampa Bay organization wishes him no ill will regardless of past playoff elimination game performances.

Also I posted in WC but I've got a surplus catcher situation going on right now. Bartolo Prieto is available if you need a stopgap for a season or two or if you want to bring the thunder you can take a run at Yerkes.

He only wanted two years, someone took him above 8 per year so I decided I wouldn't go above 10 and he signed anyway! Woohoo

for the record, I asked because waiting 20 games means delaying his arb, and thus, his FA a year, so it's a good idea for any prospect you remotely care about. The only decent player I didn't do this with was Alex Mendez because A-Rod and/or Future Hall of Famer Kiki Rivera got injured at the end of the season during "September" Call-up time, and it wasn't until after I brought him up that I realized that Art put him on the 40-man when he signed, because lol

a lot of Feliz's value was in his projected outfield defense, which was destroyed in last year's organizational disaster. Now I just want to see if he has the bat for an outfield position

The metropolitans are playing roughly .500 ball in spring training, I assume this means we're going to get 30 more wins than last year in the regular season

If a highly-ranked prospect is destroying pitching in a certain level of minors, is it smart to promote him to the next level halfway through the season? Like if Chip Steele keeps posting a 1.100 OPS in High A, should I move him to AA in a month or two?
