In one of the leagues I participate in (FS 75, which has probably about 10 owners max) we just hit the end of a World Series. Upon going in to check out free agents to see what was available, I was surprised to see EVERY free agent had a bid placed on him by some club, including those that are computer-operated.

This is a dynamic shift from past game play, and one I'm not terribly happy with - especially when Troy Glaus can hit .283, then land a 1-year deal for 141 points! What's up with this?

Though I understand the desire to make some of the lesser played public leagues more competitive in some respects, this seems to be going a little too far. With NY (NL) it seems as if I can't compete with computer-operated clubs that want to drive spending out of reach. And if I can't be competitive with NY (NL), what hope could there possibly be for someone who wants to come in owning Florida or Minnesota? :confused:

You are right. This is a big problem.

I have sounded the alert, and we are hopping on this one.

I think the bids are supposed to be evenly distributed among the computers; not all piled up on a few teams. And the computers are certainly not supposed to be acquiring more players than they can carry.

I apologize for the foul up, and will try to get this fixed asap.
