For the fifth season in a row, I was privileged enough to represent the Arizona Diamondbacks in the annual SBN GM Simulation. Scarily, in 2015, I went with the last moment sniper tactic and scooped up Zack Greinke for an estimated $35 million per season, shocking the simulation and drawing some chuckles. Little did I know that the Diamondbacks would do exactly the same thing almost exactly a month later.
In the past, I have always taken the approach of putting together the best possible team with the finances available to me, passing on any opportunity to rebuild.
