MLB Salary Challenge Chat

[Nosferatu]

Any additions to the position requirements I listed and what should cap be?

I would be in favor of drafting a full 25 man team.

Why not draft a full roster? Do we have somewhere to be? What's the hurry?

 

[Ritzarmy]

Okay a full 25 and what's the salary cap?

 

[Ritzarmy]

My thoughts we do a double pick draft. Your selecting a 25 player team that's total salary cant be more then $95,000,000.

Salary is listed here:
2014 Payrolls And Salaries For Every MLB Team

If a player is not listed on the salary list then ask Nos or Ritz and we will let you know a salary.

*Should we change Mike Trouts salary from 1million this year to 20million or a different amount?

 

[Nosferatu]

I do agree it seems unfair anyone can have Trout for 1M but do we really wanna change it. I think we should but am open to suggestions.

I think we should make it the average of the top 5/10 salaries in the game.

Should we just go with an even $100,000,000 or maybe even a little more, whats the average team salary?

 

[Nosferatu]

I bet 1500 vBucks on the Tigers tonight, not sure why I continue to bet on those chokers!!!

Average team salary I couldn't find but it appears its between 90-100 million. I like less of salary cap because it will make it more challenging looking for guys in the later rounds. If you have the payroll of the Dodgers or Yankees its just called fantasy dynasty team and basically you don't have a cap. If you limit it to a little under the average then you actually have to think do I really want to take Cabrera at 23million when I can properly get 5 good players that total that much.

I will bet all of my money on Kershaw's next game being under the runs scored.

I hope the Dodgers win said game 10 - 0

I agree, I don't want the cap too high but I don't want it to low either where if you are able to get say Miggy and Greinke you have used 40 million of 95 and you still need 23 guys. Now all of a sudden you have to fill your rosters with guys making 3 million or less.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Even $100,000,000 then?

 

[Nosferatu]

I think the average team salary is pretty comfy over $100,00,000.

26 of 30 teams are over $80,000,000
14 of 30 teams are over $110,000,000

I bet its closer to $120,000,000

 

[Nosferatu]

I think $100,000,000 - 110,000,000 works...

 

[Nosferatu]

We should see whos in and what they think...

Start PMing. I'm heading to bed I've been sick all day and hope tomorrow will be better.

Avg team salary is 103 mil total salaries are 3,093,000,000/30=103mil
avg player salary is 4 mil so 4x25 players =100 mil

I would be interested in doing this if u need another but to be honest 100 mil seems low in nfl it is 139 mil but whatever is decided would be ok by me

Okay I will help out. I need to read through the thread. I will take first pick to nab the very cheap Trout before he signs a Brinks truck extension
