Well crap... I mean, I'm glad I already had bids on Alba when he got injured, but my hopes for a bidding war just went out the window. Sigh

Huh?

Edit> Just outbid you for Elias... seems like we're interested in the same kind of guy... I need to replace Alba. heh

Eh. Tbh I didn’t really have very much money to be throwing around anyway rn. I just saw Alba’s skill ratings and thought he could fit in with my rotation pretty well if I could get him on the cheap (or cheap compared to the rest of the b.b. economy rn). SLIGHTLY less of a threat on offense than Almeida but Way more salary-efficient and less of a liability on defense.

I expect Elias will get crazy expensive; I was hoping raising the bid by $30k right off the bat might scare some people off but no such luck. I hope you get him though, he’s at just the right salary range that you could afford to keep him even if you dropped to D4 or let him play as a backup in D2. I’m better off grabbing someone around 30-31 y.o. anyway, for my needs

Yeah, his comps are about what I can spend now after Alba, but I expect he'll go higher than that too. He's slightly more than I'm lookin for, but I'm takin a flyer.

Edit> went a different direction.. and I just realized.. I bought Alba at 400k, sold him for 409k 6 (I think) seasons later... not a bad rental price

I had some false hope a few weeks ago and thought my squad was good enough to stick and stay in DIII. Flash forward and it's looking more like relegation with a brutal schedule down the stretch against 1-4 in the Great 8 with one winnable game left.

The Great 8 lived up to the name this season and it will be a shame that one of the top 5 will not make the playoffs as they are all deserving. That is no slight to the Big 8 either, but had I been slotted on that side of things then this would be a different conversation.

Wouldn't count yourself out yet; Your relegation opponent would be either Clarkston or Jersey and you beat both in the regular season; Won't be easy but you've at least got a fighting chance to stay up.

Idk if anyone's gonna underestimate you again this season after I came perilously close to giving you the upset of the season last night (GG btw; It's great to see you finally getting Bullard more involved in the offense!)

Bullard does a lot of things well; no one will ever confuse passing for one of those things. I have tried to focus on it a few times and came up empty, but we will certainly try to get that passing rating up past Atrocious for Bermuda Triangle Bullard in the offseason.
