Big Budget Teams' Crazy Spending!

[GSpencer]

Obviously, this is one bug that bugs me the most! Also, this isn't a bug report, as I'm sure most of you are aware of this bug.

Teams like the Mets and the Yankees go on wild free-agent spending sprees when they have money left in their payroll budget. However, this is absurd!

I wonder what the record is for most Major League career innings pitched in the minors at one time!

I also want to mention that most of the pitchers they have in the minor leaguers are serviceable! If I had to guess, the average rating in the Yankees minor league system is an 82!!!

Yep, this happens to me - in fictional universe as well. I end up redistributing those players each season via a manual 'Rule 5-ish' draft. Otherwise, the Reds, Pirates, etc have a whole team of 67s and 75s.

It only happens with pitchers. The expansion draft will have it happen as well if a team has a decent budger like Arizona. It takes about 5 years for the franchise to recover and its budgets all go down to zero . For some reason the game knows it only needs a starting second baseman and one backup but it will happily sign 20 relief pitchers .

Maybe it's because RPs are so unknown and incalculable?
