We could all have one in each league and decide whether to have one compete or try and have both compete.

Then we can all just bid whatever we want in free agency and shuffle the salaries around afterwards to get under the cap.We could all have one in each league and decide whether to have one compete or try and have both compete.

(the only difference is you move the salary to a team you own, and not to toronto.)

(if we had eight owners with two teams, then we could all play in one division and have some real fun, and develop players in the other. but there would always be, you know. that guy. who would put his team in the other division so it could make the playoffs playing against nothing. sweet huh?)

i would really like to be "that guy", but i think that spot has already been taken.

(you should think of my two teams as one team. that is how i think of them. no team can play at its best over the cap, so, it doesn't really make any difference that there are two of them. if i really wanted to exploit it, i would bid more carefully, put the money in one place and let it play and use the other team as a feeder with developing players. but i don't really have that. as it is, i am bidding for players, and paying big for them, where folks use to specialize in snapping up good players for cheap, because there were too many beta teams. if you want it now, you have to pay it. no free lunch.)
((i did pay too much for some things, but it wasn't on purpose, it was because i am dumb. also, darens ran his team over the cap, and then left big bids on players just to make me bid over those bids-that is, they were where i could see them, before the last day of signings he decreased them drastically. i know better next time. he is quite clever.))
(((also, if you want something i bought, just ask for it, its cool, you can have it. the folks on the FOT list know who they are.)))

Actually then the NL, assuming that's where all the contenders are, would always win the World Series.

no darens would take his team to the american league and win all the titles. it doesn't matter where it is, its going to win all the time. he is just so awesome.

I think my record is much more impressive, especially when graded on a "wins per minutes spent on team" basis.

I think the issue is that thatrogue actually spends more than 15 minutes per season organizing his team and stuff, which is total bs, and so yeah he always wins.I think my record is much more impressive, especially when graded on a "wins per minutes spent on team" basis.

I never really thought about it, but I do spend about 5 minutes each day during FA bidding, then about 10 minutes after FA figuring out how to get under the cap.(I am so ashamed...)

if you guys want someone can have my team - It's not like I pay any attention and if people are going to have 2 teams and I can't build a team through everyone else's extravagance I'm not sure I want to do this anymore :P

National League teams need you to eat their contracts so you are already performing a valuable service.
