Today the Star front office announced its new financial guru. The Stars GM held a press conference to introduce Abbi Cuss. After overlooking the team financial situation, the Valencia exec wanted to bring in someone to get out of debt. Looking at the current balance sheet, the Stars are $9M in debt....

The Stars have 2 struggling, 7 frustrated and 1 on track.

Welcome

I spent a fair amount of attention on the minor league coaches when I was in Jacksonville. Not sure if it was coincidence or if it was due to the coaches selected, but I had pretty good luck with the development of quite a few players. I never really gave much thought to spending PPT on the coaches ...

In what seems to be the first major miscue during the new Star regime, a logistical error was made when 10 selected players were tagged to go the Developmental Lab this past week. Players that were making the trip included Adam Hines, Miller Shed, Luis Gonzales, Sloan Davidson, Carlos Schumann, Jorg...

Welcome back, a lot has changed since you were last here.

Apart from Vancouver's title drought..

Thanks For sure on the changes. Scratching my head at the moment trying to figure out the new scenery both from an OOTP perspective and a Valencia perspective.

The newly appointed Stars GM made his first public appearance today at the local barber shop cutting off 10 years worth of hair and detangling his beard. In the front office’s first move since taking the reins, the announcement was made that all official correspondence going forward will be made thr...

After almost a 10-year BBA hiatus, one-time general manager of the Jacksonville Hurricanes has been located living in a cave in southern Indiana.

Welcome back!

Thanks. I will have to dust off some of the old cobwebs and get back into the swing of things.

Nice to know that the team will be in good hands. This was not a decision that was taken lightly.

Sorry I was late. I did mine this afternoon.

I think I am $257K under now.

One thing that I did not realize was when DeLeon went on IR from AAA that his salary toward cap went from $83K to $500K.

I guess I worded my question poorly so let me try again. I had to bump up Manokov to replace Dean. In doing so he gets paid the $500k instead of the $83K ish when he was in AAA. That extra $417k took me from being $174k under to $243k over cap. This will be the case for another 6 weeks. Do I have to...

How does it work when I bring up minor leaguers to fill in for an injury? Dio I have to cut someone to fall in line for future sims? Stephens is out for 3 more weeks and Dean is ou for 6. Not debating the fine, but I made cuts to get under cap prior to those two injuries happened and just want to ma...

Pretty happy with a 7-0 sim. Gone 16-1 over the last 17. Lets hope it doesn't flip on us any time soon.

Losing Dean and Stephens for two months each hurts.

Not an overly impressive spring training in Canes nation. I had two or three of my AA/AAA pitchers from last season take a major dump via the dev engine.

What were the innings pitched for most of those 27 pitchers/seasons? Flores with a 1.78 over 207 innings pitched was pretty decent.

At least there was not any injuries over 3 weeks. We had three base running injuries - guess we need to work on some basics sliding into the bag and rounding the bases.
