If you spend all your money in FA while your scouting/dev is set to $0, the game won't let you put money into those two buckets later in the spring. The game doesn't let you spend money you don't have (at least it has never let me). If you spend most of what you have in FA, then when it comes time for scouting/dev budget later, you can only put into those the total of what you have in the "Available for FA" bucket on the budget screen. I don't know about signing coaches, seems odd if they would let you do that when negative.

Not yet, getting there though. Once my minor league pitchers progress and another FA market like this (which will never happen probably), then maybe. I should be above .500 this year and possibly competing for a wildcard spot thru June/July next year, and maybe if I get lucky can hold on thru August/September.

If Dave and I get our shit together in the next 2 or 3 seasons the AL Red could be one of the more competitive divisions in the NDL.

Can we all agree that when we say Dave we are talking about Riccio and we use Webs for the "other" Dave

I'm tired of not competing. Was tired 3 seasons ago, just didn't have the money to make a splash in the FA market, hopefully this doesn't backfire on me.

SO, you're saying we shouldn't have any drama and 5 pages of immersion tomorrow from the Rule 5 Draft? What are we going to do with our off-season now?!?
