So am I the only one struggling to create a $120M team that's better than my $110M team?
No, the $120m has been the bane of my existence...
No joke, I've probably spent more time on this team than any team I've ever built... at least 3+ hours on 4-5 separate days, plus a little here and there as I get time to put something together. Most challenging themes I build 3-4 teams trying different ideas or iterations of ideas, occasionally I'll get to around 7-9 teams. I'm at least 18-20 iterations in and have built 4 full teams that I'd have considered entering... One, the team had a $105m salary... second had a $111m salary. third had a $115m salary. The latest has $119m salary, but I just dumped $8m into two completely frivolous and useless bench players... they aren't better than any of the starters, are barely passable as PH, just have 600+ PA... and the team is already carrying potentially 100 excess IP.
I'm definitely going back to the drawing board. I just can't fathom how anyone spends their whole $120m without drafting 1500+ IP and/or 6500+ PA with a bunch of wasted $...
One one I even tried to just draft high $ guys and had four $10m+ hitters, including two over $15m, and still didn't eclipse $115m...
