June 17, 200818 yr You gotta realistically look at a 100 mill payroll tops. It is a team in TN, not the upper east coast or west coast.
June 17, 200818 yr Guys Jay Bruce, over anyone? That's a reach. Im putting a team together for the next 6-10 years on mine and hope I continue to draft well.
June 17, 200818 yr Im putting a team together for the next 6-10 years on mine and hope I continue to draft well. Thats what I was thinking looking at this... Are we doing this to win it all right now or be a force for the next decade?

Jacoby Ellsbury RF Manager: Mike Scoisa This is my team with a pitcher's park you won't expect to have a power team so I built it on speed. This team could bunt all day long and steal bases against anybody. The speed in the outfield would help cut off the big gaps in teh outfield. The manager Scoisa has small-ball principles and with Bonds in the middle of the line-up would force teams to walk him and put people on base for Berkman behind him or force them to pitch Utley and I like my chances with those 2 hitters. Plus I think this team would be in the budget for a team in TN but I could be wrong.
June 17, 200818 yr Thats what I was thinking looking at this... Are we doing this to win it all right now or be a force for the next decade? I was kinda under the impression that S-3 was thinkin expansion. My Team was made up with alot of younger guys, and a few vets. Also, with the park being bigger, and not HR friendly, I went with alot of speed.

Just remember the salary structure and market area, must be able to pay for your franchise. These are often decisions that GM's must make, when assembling a competitive team and whom they want/can sign. Look at the disparity, in salary structures for each team. http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/salaries Edited June 17, 200818 yr by STRIKE3
