I'm glad your son is on the mend. I'm an asthmatic that ended up in the ER on New Years, so while I don't understand what he went through, I can definitely sympathize with breathing problems.
I was curious how Mr. Bird turned out. I saw you weren't able to get rid of him before the '78 trading deadline. How did that wind up?
Tough break against the Reds, but at least you finally made it back to the dance.
Free agency...tough question. I remember you had a similar question two seasons ago when you asked if the league was getting too unbelievable. We're now entering Y12 of your game - I'm surprised the league is still as recognizable as it is.
I'm thinking play conservative - not because I think there's anything inherently wrong with bulking up in this situation, or because it might be realistic for the RL '80 Royals, but because you just won 110 games. You can pretty much afford to sit on your laurels and let your war chest build - sooner or later you'll need to retool, and the more cash on hand, the quicker you can rebuild.
