I'm not sure Cesar can play 3B or SS anyway, so he really needs to be on a team with an opening at 2nd. Maybe SS, but it's been a few years. I'm not sure the range would still be there.
I think it only becomes guaranteed if he's on the team opening day. Until then, it's a non-guaranteed contract that only requires termination pay (a month or two?)
I think that's his upside if healthy. Make him stop throwing the damn splitter, and you have an above average fastball, slider, and curve. Give him a bonus structure based on games started or something.
1. Then there's no reason to sign him. It has to work for us too.
2. He'd still opt out and try to re-sign or add additional years or something. Unless he's stinking it up, in which case there'd be no difference.
3. What exactly is the higher stakes table (and I'm assuming by flip you don't mean trade, for obvious reasons).
I don't know if they're available or not, but some guys who might not cost an arm and a leg are
Tyler Mahle
Joey Lucchesi
Alex Reyes
Dylan Bundy (cut?)
Bundy for Teoscar maybe? I'd be fine with letting him eat up some innings next year at reasonable cost. Maybe our catchers can help him and we can flip him at the deadline.
Plus, I really want to see Teoscar in another uniform.
The weather does not look fun in the Cowboys Patriots game. It looks like heavy rain / sleet with maybe some freezing rain mixed in. All sorts of balls being dropped and lost.
Do we have an option in Fantrax to prevent adding players with a green flag? Maybe just change the AA rule, in exchange for eliminating the mandatory promotion threshold and allowing demotions.
Is there actually a need to? I mean, owned players won't be floating in the general pool anymore. What purpose does the mandatory promotions actually serve? I can't really see it being abused much.
I think the bigger problem is periodically scanning the farms to check if people haven't promoted those that need to be. I guess we could eliminate the PA/IP limits. I'm not sure they actually serve a whole lot of purpose now that players aren't in the general pool.
