He's not cheap but even if Randy Johnson goes as a reliever, i wouldn't send him down to AAA because there's a waste of 7000 points right there.

of course... definitely.

And you can "buy" them for 30000 points in season mode! :shock:

wow.
that is a bargain.

edit: sorry, too much of an understatement. That is one of the best trades ever.

I'd rather just start with the giants and work my way there.

Buying them never works for me, even at the trade deadline.

I like:

Hanley ramirez SS 420 *****
Ryan braun LF 420 *****
Prince Fielder 1B 600 *****
Ryan howard 1b 900 ****
Andre ethier RF 400 ****
BJ Upton 3b/CF 390 *****
Hunter Pence RF 390 ****
Dan uggla 2b 390 ****
Matt cain P 390 ****
F. Hernandez P 390 *****
Lincecum P 390 *****
Carmona P 390 ****
S. Baker P 390 ***
Billingsley P 390 ****
Verlander P 390 ***
D. Pedroia 2b 390 ***
Gorzellanny P 390 ***
J. Chamberlain P 390 ****
Huston Street P 390 ****
James Loney 1B 390 ***

Theres more, but I'm at work, so cant recall them all offhand. You can easily draft a team for less then 15k by just getting these <900 point players. I usually draft around hanley then fill in my holes with success mode players like my catcher and a few pitchers, since catcher seems to be a premium position that is tough to fill cheaply in the draft.

Wang may be the best bargain of them all. I believe he gets paid only 390 as well and he is one of the top 5 pitchers. Linecum isn't nearly as good because he is having a breakout year this year, not last year.

No, Wang is 4000, but that's a small price to pay for his ability.

He may be around 1030 ish, but Nick Johnson is super good in game. 1b Wash.

Oh yeah and good luck getting Liriano in a trade.

Nick Johnson is 5500.

(Sort of Off-Topic) Even though he's not cheap (9500 or something) Mark Teixiera is really really good in the game, especially his fielding stats, plus he has intimidator.
