Free Agent Demands

GEP · 01-19-2008, 08:54 AM

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but maybe I'm missing something obvious. Is there any way to view free agent salary demands (sorting or filtering by them would be even better, but I'd settle for viewing) en mass without having to click on "offer contract" for each player individually?

As a manager of a Mexican League team with a $1.5 million budget in a world that also includes Japanese (average budget $40 million) and U.S. ($100 million) leagues, it can be pretty onerous to click on each free agent individually trying to find a guy I can actually afford. It's often possible to estimate salary demands from stats, but not always -- right now I'm having a huge problem finding any outfileders, no matter how bad, who will sign for less than $400k. If I could just scan or sort the free agent list to find the guys in my price range, it would be sooooo much easier.

GEP, I don't think so. But that's as it should be because IRL the free agent market is not like a supermarket with posted prices.

Best bet would probably be to sort players by talent unless you're playing without talent ratings.
