Not bad, snagging the MLB leader in ERA for the league minimum...if I would have had a little more money to work with, I would have bid. I did think about cutting Borowski, but I'm going to see if I can stick out the year with him so I don't have to pick up his option next year.

It seems everybody has little to no cap left, i'm just glad i saved a couple of million. I kept telling myself when we were bidding to save some money because every year somebody you wouldn't expect to beakout does. Last year i would say Carmona was that person and hopefully Lee will be this year, but it's still early. Good luck to you this season.

ok. there is an issue with cliff lee.
the yankees were not over the cap with his first bid. he had not updated his page, which said he was over the cap, but in fact he had cleared salary and was under it. so his bid was valid.
now, it is my opinion that we open him up for bidding again. i have no authority to do so, but i'd like to hear what other people think, especially the braves. i think that the yankees is new to leagues like this, so maybe he didn't understand why i thought he was over the cap when he was not, so he didn't fight it in time. but that shouldn't preclude him from getting lee, who he originally bid on. i think if we opened it up to only the braves and yankees, that would be the fairest thing to do.
