Welcome to the league to all the newcomers!
Last season was my first in DII in a while too and it was incredibly refreshing how competitive things are and how much more thought you must put into the smaller decisions.
What's not as refreshing is just how much people are paying for their salaries this season! Last season I thought I could basically juggernaut my way through by spending more than everybody else. Well, not only has my payroll increased due to training, but I'm no longer the highest spending team!
Tucumcari Whalers, Arizona Cacti, and The Coolness Factor are amongst the highest spending teams with me. It'll be interesting to see how sustainable this is.
