D2D trash talk and draft comments thread

My team is only around 80 million. So probably 80 wins. If you are at 86-100 million, you are probably in the playoffs. Anything over 100 million should make it easy.

Brewmasters payroll is just under 122 mil. If we don’t make the playoffs I will be retiring from strat!

The Bandits are looking for a bunch of young players to improve and move up to starting roles as the Bandits rebuild having trade away all valuables this spring in obtaining picks. 60 wins may be stretching it but the team does have some bright spots and all future draft picks so hopefully in 2 yrs we can make a run at the wildcard.Management is hping these building blocks will help create a winning attitude for the Bandits.

Still a long way to go

my payroll will be $81-$82 Million so my goal of 80-85 wins seems about right

The (reluctantly still in Wriggley) Wrigglers are not the team they were last year but with the help of Aaron Judge hope to put together a couple of 95-win seasons and maybe make it back to the finals.

I'm expecting the Prairie Dogs to push 100 wins behind strong pitching. Deep fences and 1s at the keystone will help. We may not score a ton of runs, but we will give up far fewer. Nearly empty before the draft, I was able to cobble together an outfield from the FA draft that could almost be called "decent".

Of course, the team could just as easily struggle to 85 wins and just miss the playoffs. Ha! Around $108 MM in salary, factoring that Marquez and Rogers won't likely make the big club.

Biggest Achilles heel could be clutch batting, where I am certain this team will rank among the worst. Only 2 batters have a positive clutch!

Yes, I'm afraid of the kiss of death.

High hope this year. 4th in total Salary right now but still have weak spots at 2b & CF. Expect to make playoffs and lose in semis like I have the past few seasons.

Left a prospect proxy with DCirish

Did someone start the league yet? Want to make sure I did not miss it
