If you are worried about players dropping and payroll constraints, then why would you be re-signing guys like Mariani, Bent, or Nix?
In the chat, I saw you talking about only certain teams claiming these players shows their lack of value. Unless you can prove all 29 teams checked it out, then you don't know. Plus, once poor teams like SDP or MIN claim them, it's game over for contenders who would have liked to claim them. In fact, I would suggest poor teams claiming them speaks for their value. They're either coming out of a rebuild and are solid pieces to fit the puzzle or they see value in being able to flip the players. Otherwise, they're pissing money down the drain during the rebuild.
Flori: Seeing his NTC, I'll drop the veto on him moving. But TBR would still have to pay out the $8.89M NTC buyout. But, I still don't like seeing the others go scot-free.
MacSimon: Rest assured your .646 Defensive Average has nothing to do with his (and the rest of your staff's) inflated numbers[/sarcasm]. He's had good numbers in the past and with a competent defense, he's quite good. The league isn't rich in RPs, so he'd certainly be valuable to a few teams.
Rodriguez: He makes nothing. Whether you play him or someone else, your payroll stays EXACTLY the same. If he's the odd man out, that's fine, but you can surely work out a deal after the World Series, submit it before re-signings are due, and there's no risk of being stuck with his Arbitration contract.
Overall, you keep gravitating towards saying, "full value". I never said you would be able to get full value for them. You may be selling short, but it still beats the hell out of giving them away for nothing.
