I did. I'm hoping it's true because I used it as a guideline when two coaches were fairly even in their designated specialty.

Is there a way to promote coaches? Could I offer last year's bullpen coach the pitching coach job and then look for a new bullpen coach?
Also, to what extent did you guys adjust your minor league rosters? Have you noticed any harm in say, putting hitting prospects in extreme pitchers parks or vice versa?

Does signing international prospects come out of your prospects budget or your regular payroll?

the bonus given to the prospects comes from the prospect payroll. His actual salary is the player payroll.

if you trade for cash, your player payroll budget goes up by that amount, and the $185 isn't a hard cap. in other words, you're right... except you might as well use the "stash," because it doesn't roll over to the next season.
Fantastic info. Thanks!If I go over the hard cap for season #1, will I need to get back under $185 in season #2? Before or after season #2 starts...When is the rookie draft? Is it in the middle of the year much like RL?

the rookie draft for us is 6/22, and we started on 5/15. we get to see the prospects on 6/18.

you'll need to allocate $185 at the beginning of season 2, so there's no way to be over it going into a season.

Rookie
The Amateur Draft is in the middle of the season like RL.

You will have to allocate enough money in your budget to cover the contracts to which you've committed. I don't think you'll be able to acquire a player if his season 2 contract puts you over your season 2 limit, so your scenario can't occur - I believe you can only spend up to 80% of your budgeted Player Payroll on season 2 salaries, regardless of the amount you acquire through trades.

Since your player payroll budget increases w/ cash trades, that causes your season 2 budget to increase as well.

So if you lose player payroll budget by trading cash, your season 2 budget will decrease.

1. There's no advantage to locking him up until he's arb-eligible.
2. You're screwed. Once arbitration is settled, he's yours at that price. Do something before arb if you're not sure you want him.

If you don't want to sign someone to arbitration, release him.

will he become a FA if he clears waivers?
And if he is a FA, I'll eat his salary if he's not picked up, right?

If you release a guy not under contract(awaiting arb), there's no salary.

Make sure you have no use for him at an acceptable price before giving him his walking papers.
Depth is important in HBD. You can't have the equivalent of 200k players on your bench.
