I was definitely interested in brining Caine back, even though he'll be 40 next year. He was a workhorse at the top of the rotation. Unfortunately he wanted 3/69, and I wasn't going to do more than 1+TM and try and stay under $20m. Maybe I should've made an offer, but I'd prefer to get a younger guy in here.
that he doesn't do
So IFA for a few sims and then do we skip forward again?
No. we skip forward to FA/IFA and sim 2 days at a time until we go 3 days at a time until we go 5 days at a time and boom its ST
We do. That is what the "we skip forward" part entails.

I can't find him

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Plus the guy is usesful too. He isn't like some dude you can't use. He's a great #5 SP who gives you a chance to win every fifth turn.
Hidden fleeces like this are what build teams long term…

Yes of course but there is a league wide baseline for this specific type of trade IMO in terms of you want to dump X amount of salary then you must attach X type of pick. The thing I'm saying is usually the guys who you attach a pick with are useless and just salary (i.e. Oort trade for me this year although I got Lee back who I value).
There is no baseline, there are 15 different ideas of what salary dumps should be valued at. This is what I keep trying to knock into you guys who keep bitching about the market. There is no single market and if you are trying to create one in your head you will pull your hair out. An ace is only worth as much as a single owner is willing to pay.
Wong is worth zero dollars right now. In a few days when the SPs are picked clean the havenots will want him more.

Gook has been offering Farias around for quite a while and, I'm guessing, no one answered the call. It's easy to say now "oh what a fleece" but this offer was available to everyone for a while and he couldn't move him. I happen to have a ton of cap space so it was easy for me to take him - plus a third isn't a big asset, I don't value them much at all.

But I agree with Lando and OU
As I mentioned in the other thread, I got Ryan Conner (7th best WAR last year) for a 2nd last year and Henry Brown (3rd best WAR) and Bob Nichols (solid 3rd starter) for nothing the year before. But then you've got Lando getting two first and a catcher prospect for a similar level player. You just never know how bad people need to move $$$

Me too. I figured I was getting an above average first baseman who wouldn't miss a game and was solid in the field. He improved his walks and homers a lot from the previous year, even if the average didn't come back.
