Want Zamora back? He has only balked once. Twenty-seven wild pitches, though.

Wow. You got a guy like Jones for 3 years for less than four million combined? Well done.

[dakshdar]

Maybe it helps his Greed level is just a 14.

[ajalves]

How did the challenge and allstar game go?

[Baker]

I think it will be in tonights sim.

Also, a couple of people do not have sims that did submit one last week. If you know for a fact that you won't be submitting one today, please let me know.

He's the Mike Brown of OOTP GM's

[trendon]

Yeah, same with Joe and Steel City signing Tim Jones to, essentially, the same contract over and over and over again with barely a raise.

Yeah that is what I thought, but everytime I look at what he is looking for it is always around his current contract. He likes Colorado and he likes playing for a winner---What else could he want? A championship--oh wait he got that with us as well---so I guess he has everything he wants.
