I am having a hard time with pitchers. Gibson's son was in the Dodgers organization for a bit. Don't think he made the show though.

Fielder. Raines.

Offensively, the team would probably be amazing. But yeah, pitching isn't looking so good. If no one else wants this as their team, I'll make one if we need it.

Are we using a salary cap?

I always forget Tim Raines's kid was in the show for a bit. Ridiculous Raines is not in the HOF already.

Sounds like Vlad's kid might be a stud for you guys, Phil.

I'm ok with a salary cap. I might have to trade out a guy or two on my team. My staff is kind of ridiculous.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I realize you would probably have to do one team of siblings and one team of fathers/sons. If you combined them they would be way, way too good.

I'm making a brothers team to see what it would look like. I only have two sets of brothers in my rotation so far, but it's Pedro/Ramon Martinez and Phil/Joe Niekro.

I just played around with my team concept, which is not at all talent based and had a payroll of 130 million picking the best options for my criteria. So is 140 a reasonable cap?

Don't be a jerk chud. I dont see you proposing a number. Lower it, i don't care. Raise it, i dont care. My team concept was not in anyways selected with talent in mind, although there is some there.
