I'm too cheap to pay someone to do that. :) If I need to do it, I'll do it myself.

It took the scouting department a long time to convince the accounting department to commit the dollars. Seriously, free agency falls during my busiest time at work. I didn't even consider bidding on Votto until I was looking things over at lunch time today. I will admit I process these things slowly but I'll try to make my next bid on him sooner.

Oh year, I almost forgot, Jason at the ACL's put me up to it...be mad at him. :)

Should be interesting to see how you do with 40% of your budget wrapped up in 2 players (alas, they are the two best hitters in the game). Just hard to pull the trigger on going to $20 million when I had a lot of other needs.

Don't forget Max Scherzer at nearly 19M, so that's almost 60M on 3 guys. The intended budget coming in for Trout/Votto was 30M (12-13M Votto, 17-18M for Trout). Votto was inches away from being had for 11.75M. If Dan could have been busy another 15-20 min or so.... That said, I wasn't sure what the impact of having 20 teams (more money) in the FA pool would have. Turns out it was just you I had to worry about. I blame on realignment.  :)

Anyway, I had plans that will be cut drastically short without the additional cap space, so a lot will be how DMB treats certain players on my team - wide range of outcomes here. Votto was a must for this season. I guess we'll see if that extra 7M spent on him was worth it or not.
