I joined. Swirve appears to have a cool format.

 

Whats the deal on the signing periods ? If I sign a player to a partial contract,say 30 g's,and the contract runs out....do I have to sign him up at another 30g's ? Does this 30g stay spent or does it get added back after the contract is up ?

 

You keep him for that price as long as you have him under contract.

Let's say you sign Bagwell at $30,000 for 30 days.

Now, let's say he drops to $25,000 in a couple of weeks. At the end of 30 days, you'll now have him on a day-to-day basis at his current price ($25,000, but that can change daily). You can optionally sign him to a long-term deal again at the new $25,000 price.

On the other hand, let's say he rises to $40,000 by the end of your contract. You now have him on a day-to-day basis at $40,000 or you can re-sign him long-term at that price. If, after 15 days, he's up to $35,000, you can extend your current contract, but his price will immediately go to $35,000.

Conceivably, since you signed him for $30,000 and he cost you $40,000 at the end of the contract, you could end up over the cap, and that is OK (although, if you drop him, you'll still only have the $30,000 to spend). If you do this with several players, though, you could get well over the cap. If you're like 10% over the cap (not sure the exact number offhand), some of your players will stop playing for you.

Confusing, eh? It makes more sense once you're used to it.

 

Thx .. I was over there just now reading up on some of it,and it's a bit clearer now...but one thing did come to mind,maybe I should wait until spring training is over before I sign my players.Is it ok to do that ? I'd hate to sign some guy for 45g and have him get hurt before the season starts
