Teams paying one player too much.

[DanDiaz]

Does anyone else think mid to small market teams pay one player too much.

I usually play rebuilding small market teams, so taking over the NYM was new to me. I had a lot of money and needs. Standard game, no mods, latest patch..

I lost out on a 33Yr old SP, good player, signed a 6 year deal with DET for about 31 million a year, DET's total payrol has hoveredaround 60-62 million the past 5 years all 85-102 loss seasons.

I lost out on a good 32yr old SS to TB, 5 year deal avg 21 per year, TB stinks and has had a payroll in the 60-73 mil for 5 years.

Many more examples, no need to list. It is insane for these teams to do this, both teams continued to stink for the next 3 years.

Questions:

1) Is this happening to anyone else
2) Is ther a patch or mod to fix this
3) Is this fixed io ootp 11

I have not bought 11 yet because I keep reading that most of the problems from 10 were ignored, such as prob everyones biggest complaint., Trade AI.
