Pork "CHOPS" Murphy predicts..........
Bandits
60-102 (with luck)

My total roster value for this year is going to be right around $90M so I’m probably not a playoff team. But you never know. 90M probably not a last place team either, but again you never know.

I was looking at season two from last year and my 116.68M team had the same number of wins as Splinter’s 84.38M team,which was enough to tie for a wildcard spot so maybe my 90M team does have a shot. I have a feeling there’s going to be a few 120M teams this year though.

Guess we’ll see in a couple of months how things play out this year. Good luck everyone.

Some great responses, let's keep it going! Playoff team or not and why?

My team might lose 120 games. Other than Luis Castillo and Matt Olson, we are collectively terrible this year. Total salary for 28 players of about 73M. Building for the future and hoping for big 2023 (and 2024) seasons from young'uns!

The Preacher talking about a poor team with a 72 million payroll???????????????????? hes rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pork"CHOPS" Murphy's budget..........................58 mil.......lol

Wal Martes-- made playoffs in one of two league seasons in both the past two years, but could not advance. Was stretching to get close the past few years and gambled some future to get close. Looking for so many underperformers to have comeback seasons in reality 2023 to get back in '24. Subpar performers who are in need of comebacks on roster this campaign included Sal Perez, India, Winker, Duvall, Laureano, Hosmer. This season, this team will be way down with the marginal pitching to boot. Some promising youth with Grissom, Hays, Yorke if they make it to the show this year. Prediction--68-94. Question-- Will the Martian (Dominguez) ever make it to the majors? Been hogging a roster spot as he has exhausted his prospect status long ago.

Eddie E trades:

Christian Pache OF PHI
Marco Luciano SS SF
Kurtz's 2024 2nd rd prospect pick

to Turtle for:

Victor Robles OF WAS

Nick to confirm

Paul - does this mean I have to draft one more player since I am at 29 now?

Confirmed

Clodhoppers will win 72-76 games

Edit*

My payroll won’t exceed 70m

67-70 wins

Hoping my pitching and obp guys (+Arenado/Bouchard) can get me 80-85 wins. probably not enough for a wild card but an improvement.

I guess the playoff teams dont want to jinx themselves? Based on the answers so far, nobody is making the playoffs! Come on guys, you know who you are. Step up to the plate and let us know you are gonna put a hurtin' on us.
