I imagine so!!!
Except for Bunning I could have dealt with the first year salary. Problem is the length they wanted. Alou won't be able to play CF much longer and I had no where to move him. Maz looks to be on the way to a better than real life career so maybe I should have signed him.
My idea with the payroll restrictions was to reduce the advantage a human has in having somewhat of an idea who is safe to sign long term and who isn't. Having development and TCR on doesn't negate a human's advantage.
For example, Clemente doesn't look like he's going to have a career as good as real life. So maybe instead of the $110K I'm paying him he's only worth $90K. But AI teams are out there paying guys 110K who collapse at age 30 to replacement level players. So my $20K loss in value in almost nothing.
