Poll - Remaining Free Agent List

[Smitty (Mets GM)]

So, I've been sitting on a list of 80+ remaining ProGM Free Agents and I'm on the fence about whether or not share with the league. Not only for my own competitive advantage (I do recognize how it could hurt me, of course), but I also wouldn't want to step on another GM's own work without first hearing any argument against sharing.

Conversely, I wouldn't mind helping some of the teams needing to plug holes in an effort to keep the league, as a whole, as competitive as it can get. Pound-for-pound, teams are better off collecting 'some' stats than 'none'. And with this many names still potentially viable for stats, it seems worth sharing in that regard.

Wondering the league thoughts.

Vote anonymously or share your vote and explanation 'for' or 'against'.

[Jon (Astros GM)]

I would, if only to get people signed. Could cause minor leaguers to be dropped so there is always a chance to add in the draft. This coming from a guy at 70 players, so I would be a team cutting to sign someone.

[Chris (Former Cubs GM)]

I voted "no" cause I think everyone should do there own job in finding players. Maybe u could do the draft for another team too. Don't really care if you show list or not. Obviously by the poll I'm the only one who sees something wrong with it.

[Smitty (Mets GM)]

You're not the only one who 'sees something wrong with it'.
In the same way you do, I do too.

However...I voted Yes.

We're all trying to play a pretty advanced and independently owned and operated style of Fantasy Baseball here. And if we don't account for every aptitude or availability and functionality, I fear we'll constantly see 1/3 of the league fall-out by mid-June because they've lost interest in not being able to find a player to fill a hole they may have needed to fill- however so minimally.

And as most of the names on this list will prove- the most decent, most viable players left as FA's have already been pretty well picked through. Very few of these names could hurt the owners whom have paid attention and are playing to (at least try) to win. I regard this list more of a source of last resorts.

I'd hope everyone with holes to fill and/or money to spend snatch up some of this.
Especially the team with the pinstripes in the AL East whom shall go unnamed.

There's plenty of potential help if you need it.
