i havent signed a free agent to big cash, but so far in my season i got Mike Mussina and Jason Giambi to both agree to contract extensions of 13 million dollars each. Giambi almost walked out on me and i was afraid he would say no way...however, he is the best 1B in my league (2002 MVP, i'm in year 2003 now) and he deserves more money than Jim Thome who is making 12 million a year. As for Mussina, he demanded over 13 million dollars and agreed to take just 13. it seems like a ridiculous amount of money, but i've done alot to try to keep my payroll below 100 million. so far i'm still doing a good job. as of next year i will have a 98-99 million dollar payroll when the new contracts come into play. but with no need at any positions b/c of quality minor leaguers comin in...i think i'll be fine.
