In that regard then in a way they do I suppose have different FA's. Although the World Series for 3 of my leagues is at the end of the October, Nippon's last regular season game is at the end of August, so their FA's hit the market 1st (they are usually signed by teams who are not in postseaon for the other 3 leagues) EBL FA's are Dec 5th? MLB Dec 17th? forgot when CBF FA's hit the market. So the teams that jump into the FA market 1st are not guaranteed to get the best players available.
Since the EBL has less money then the CBF and MLB they tend to get lesser quality players. The Highest paid FA's in the EBL are the 2 players I just signed to a 1 yr deal, a SS and a LF who played in the CBF in 2005 both make $2 million. Since I didn't realize that I didn't have Allow FA's from other leagues checked for MLB I have been maually signing CBF players to MLB teams.
