I feel your pain. Kept the Denver kicker instead of Green Bay's because I thought the dome in St. Louis was an advantage. Started RG3 instead of Cutler. Bradshaw and Orange Julius hurt. Lost by 3 points.
The Rickets deserve some credit on this. In the last 3 years Theo/Hoyer, a top farm system, Wrigley reconstruction, and now a top manager. Revenues and team are trending up.
Oooops. Cott’s listed Arrieta as having 2.145 years of ML service time. I took the .145 as fraction of a year and he would just miss. I went back to BP and saw its 145 days of service time, so it looks like he will be. Updated the first post.
Thank you for proofing it for me. I corrected Baker/Concepcion. I didn't include buyouts as I believe they are 2014 expenses. If Fujikawa's option is picked up I will add him.
