2020 Offseason SIM 1 (Options/Arbitration) Complete - Next SIM Tues 1/24

[umd]

Arbitration went about as expected. I have a bunch of money to spend on FA, but I have a lot of young players everywhere fighting for jobs. Not a bad predicament coming off another lost Brewmasters.

If anyone out there needs players but doesn't want to spend FA prices, reach out to me. I have two ace pitchers I can deal in Willie Fajardo and Dave Baldwin. I also have 1B/DH TJ Dunn on a one year deal that can still hit.

I'd really like to add a defensive C that can hit righties to platoon with Lehnhoff and to be his defensive replacement against lefties.

I could use a true CF that can hit lefties.

I'd be willing to trade anyone in this post for those two positions and if you don't want to add that much salary I have these young BLB ready players/prospects for a C and a CF:

RJ Marshall, Pat Decker, Joey Kane, Jimmy Centofanti, Jamie Talbot, JD Harper, Jamie August, Jarrod Brown, Ron Danielson, Ed Hoffman, Jon Jones, Tom Ragosta.

I'm open to talking before buying what I need in FA 1 & 2.

Pawtucket letting some more players walk.

Simple case of reality . Lol least we have a few first and second rounders to help us along. (Cup half full)

I won every arbitration hearing. I don't think I've ever done that.

[PaulC]

I'm not sure. I just leave in the amounts the computer suggests for me and the arbitrator seems to accept the team option more often than not.

I also couldn't help but notice that Dusty Filar had an arbitration amount of $16 000 000, and is now asking for $500 000. Nice!

Is it arbitration related to performance?

Yes. Basic stats like wins, saves, homers, etc. go a long way.

my abritrational values for players got all messed up. Specifically Ethan Neal who was only seeking like 1mil in ballooned all the way up to 6mil+. He was asking no where near that number.

I got wrecked in arbitration, too. A learning experience.

[PaulC]

Not for me

Maybe you have higher quality players?

I do, however, like the new arbitrator, he seemed to rule in the favour of our team a lot!

I think the commish can import files, release Manning, deduct $2 mm, and then put out a new file. I doubt any advancing needs to be done.

But that's what I think. I don't actually know.

Could one of the commishes submit his FA offers and override the team budget?

Arbitration is definitely different now.

I'll adjust. I just would be saved the money and let him hit FA. I've never seen that happen from one version to the next.
