See if Mulder will take 6 for 4
Offer Cust 9 for 6
Offer Ellis 2.6 for 4
See if Kelton will be reasonable and take 1.99 for 5
See if Buddie will take 4.2 for 2

Nevin is dreaming if he thinks I will agree to that, but I will get back with him later. As for Spiezio, buh-bye.

Okay, go ahead and sign Cust and Kelton, as I don't want to screw with them, especially Jackie.

See if you can get Ellis to accept 2.1 for 5 and Buddie to accept 3.7 for 3.

I will have to think about what to come back with to offer Mulder.

[ChucklesG]

Ellis and Buddie don't bite on the new offers

We stopped doing negative contracting a way back when Zac was commish. You can not longer offer them a good contract to be safe and then if they agree see if they'll take a lesser contract. Once they agree you sign them (well I guess you could let them walk, but then why offer it in the first place).

If Chuck has decided to open up for negoting contracts this way again, then nevermind me opening my big mouth :D

Well, I thought that Castor let us do that, so that is why I had 2nd offers.

[Castor27]

I didn't let anyone do that as far as I can remember. I really didn't ever give anyone a chance. As soon as an offer was accepted it was signed :)


As for the A's I would like to enquire about:

Zito
Harden
Foulke
Hill
Brown
Williams
Gonzales
for now

[The Cat]

I'd like to talk with:

Ben Grieve
Jung Bong
Marcus Giles
Kelly Johnson
Horacio Ramirez

thanks.

[Heath]

What do the money hungry Marlins FA's have to say?

[Manny Ramirez]

I know where I was getting confused earlier...

If the player tells you what they want, then you can come back with a lower offer and see if they will take that. So, I was wrong about that....carry on.:)

[Castor27]

Sign Zito-9.9 for 4
offer Harden-10 for 5
offer Foulke-5.0 for 3
offer Hill-3.5 for 3
offer Brown-1.75 for 4
offer Williams-4.5 for 2
offer Gonzalez-4.5 for 2

if any of the above accept their offers please sign them.

[Manny Ramirez]

Alright, it seems like I remember that Mulder is a bear to sign/re-sign in the previous sims.

I will revise the offer to 7.75 for 5. That is more than double his current salary. If he wants more money, than I don't know what I will do. Have to hope and pray that he likes this offer.

[Buck88]

Let me start with the big names......

Zambrano - 4 for 4
Oswalt - 5.5 for 5
Durocher - 2.1 for 3
Pujols - 8 for 6
Alfonzo - 5 for 2

HFS...eh, okay, one last offer - a take it or leave it offer.

8.4 for 6 (even though he is nowhere worth that). If the greedy bastard still says more money, then I am through negotiating with him.

[ChucklesG]

Mulder must be trying to dap your finances dry, he want more cash

[Buck88]

LMAO...Why does the computer have it in for Manny.:D

[Buck88]

Oswalt - 6.75 for 5
Durocher - 2.7 for 3
Alfonzo - 4.6 for 3

Well, he is not getting it from me.

Buck,

I don't think you were around or if you were, you were just starting, but in the 2nd sim, Mulder was a FA and refused to talk to everyone except like one team, I think.

The guy has always been an asshole when it comes to contracts. I was hoping with this latest version of the sim, he would be different, but alas, he has not changed.:(

[Castor27]

Harden-10 for 4
Hill- 4.0 for 2 if he wants more years go 4.0 for 3
Williams-5 for 1
Gonzalez-5 for 1

Yep that is true. He would only talk to STL and DHR. He did not like their offer so he did not sign with anyone. He was the 3rd ranked FA pitcher at the time also. I had to just sign him to a contract with STL . But he has always been a FA turd.

[ChucklesG]

Now comes the intriguing part, will he still sign with DHR? :)

[Buck88]

Oswalt - 6.75 for 5
Durocher - 2.7 for 3
Alfonzo - 4.6 for 3

Yeah, I remember when that bastard wouldn't sign. I sure as hell don't want him now either. :)

I'd like to talk to...

Urbina
German
Benoit
Mench
Kolb

[Manny Ramirez]

I need to see what Juan Cruz wants. I'll probably try to take care of this in chat, though.

[Manny Ramirez]

I need to see what Kris Benson wants. I'll try to handle him in the chat, but just in case I am unable to, just let me know here.

[Htownhero]

I guess I post this here, but I'd like to resign .LF J Borchard


Also, if it sats automatic under years left, does that mean they'll sign?

[Htownhero]

Also, 3B T Graffanino

[Buck88]

H-Town

On the team salary page automatic means they are still under a "minor league contract". The only players that can be signed to new deals are the players who's contracts are up (they will say "NONE" under years remaining).

BTW - I think Chuck wants new threads for the restart, so you might want to start a new 2006 Re-Signing Thread.
