58.01 Hard work pays off

As the new GM Spencer arrived at his London office yesterday I wanted to sit down and meet the team. Being away from the league for several years he had lost touch with many of the players and needed to catch up on things. I felt so honored to be able to take over an organization that was so solid. ...

Re: Montreal spends for new stadium

Please cancel this stadium build. It was never completed and the offseason ticket sale boost I was hoping for was lost so building it at this point is not ideal. The new gm can decide if a new stadium is in order for Montreal.

Re: Rule 5 Draft Continues as Planned

Thank you for your apology but my resignation stands. This issue in reality is small but I have had other issues when I suggest something or appear demanding that I get snarky comments so I am just tired of it. This issue didn’t do me in it’s compounded over time. I get life I have 3 kids work an ho...

Re: Rule 5 Draft Continues as Planned

Remember when I posted on slack the other day I had my head on a platter when I was critical of your lack of communication. This is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Not at any point was I mean or disrespectful. But I am also not a yes man and just because Recte decides to change somethi...

Re: Rule 5 Draft Continues as Planned

But I want to be on the record by saying I am not a fan of making changes that affects team building without advanced notice to the league. We never got a notice rule 5 moved from December to January. If we would have known I am sure someone would have thought about this and it could have been preve...

Re: Rule 5 Draft Continues as Planned

I understood Rons frustration on this. It don’t impact me personally because I have no depth it will probably actually benefit me. But this certainly had a big impact on the deeper teams and this came upon them without warning so they have reason to be frustrated. I am having trouble understanding w...

Re: Rule 5 Draft Continues as Planned

Help me understand, I have not been following much today. I thought losing the year was due to Recte changing the rule 5 from December to January. But know I see it’s an ootp bug. Which one is it?

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

What about all the teams that just started clocks on guys that didn’t need to? It really don’t start their clocks. When someone is placed on the 40 man all that really means is they begin 3 years known as the option years. In theory you can hold someone on your 40 man for 9 seasons after placing th...

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

I would kill it this year because teams didn’t have the opportunity to plan ahead losing a year unexpectedly. But it needs put back into December next year so this don’t happen again.

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

True, Kevin...if you pick through the whole transaction change, you can find them. But you can't just scan the log and know if a player was moved from waivers or not. There is some clue in the language...a player "optioned" to AAA was not waived first. A player "assigned" was likely designated for ...

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

But those guys you waive are still rule5 eligible, so they are free of being claimed on waivers, they are not protected from Rule 5. For example let’s say I decided to waive Jim Antolin. As of this file he is not in the draft pool so nobody has the opportunity to put him in their draft list because...

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

I don’t follow. Every single player not on a 40 man that meets the requirements is eligible. Even if they are on waivers they can still be rule 5 drafted. If they squeak through waivers because of the waiver length issue sure no one can waiver claim them but they are still rule 5 eligible and not p...

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

Moving it to January probably caused this issue for sure. Usually rule 5 is December

Re: Too Many With Rule 5 Eligibility?

That is an issue and also several teams already have the 40 man full or close to full and have a few guys in the draft pool they might protect. In order to protect those guys they must be put on the 40 man with a corresponding move to remove someone on the 40 man. Because we have been simming more ...

We can fix the waiver issue this sim. The other issues can’t really do much at this point.

My best catching prospect, Angelo Deluccio, has been suspended 80 games for PED use and his popularity says he is now "disliked". Can't say I've ever seen that before.
That’s terrible
