Wooly couldn't give away Dave Christian and wondered why? Because someone just snagged him for $5M!
I finally got NML on the reverse Dani Rod with Shibata. Can't even play 1B anymore but I didn't have to trade for him! LOOK HOW SMART I IS.
Interesting you brought him up. I wasn't planning on it, but since you did. People did inquire about Christian when I was trying to trade him for the 2063 season, but I didn't want to give him up for less than he was worth.
I was trying to trade him for the 2063 season (last offseason, not this one), since I didn't need the pitching. I was seeing if I could get something from someone who did want him. The argument was about whether or not he was worth 20m for 2063, for one year, the last year of his contract.
Turns out he was pretty good last year: 2.96 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 0.8 HR/9, and 3.2 WAR...over 167 IP and only 26 starts due to an injury late in the year. Worth the 20m? Maybe, maybe not, depends on who had what cash to burns and how much they needed a SP for just one year, but he was pretty damn good last year. He was certainly worth a lot more than 5m last year. The only reason he went as low as 5m this year is because he is 36 and just came off a 6 month injury. At the time I wanted to trade Dave he was not injured and was certainly worth a lot more than 5m, as evidenced by his season stats.
