I've given up on big free agency for the most part, both as a result of in-game experiences and from what I've read in answer to my OP.
I prefer homegrown talent anyways, but when I do go into FA, for the price of one big-bucks guy, you can usually find two or three average guys who'll get the job done.
I'd rather have a couple of dudes hitting .275, 15 HR, 60 ribbies each platooning than one .300-40-140 guy. And at half the cost, or less. Call me cheap, but I don't see the point in overpaying aging veterans when you can get someone else to do the job for cheaper.
The way the game is coded, you can easily get solid pitchers via your farm system, which eliminates the need for FA pitchers, as far as I'm concerned.
