Seemed similar to Luis Gonzales - about half the price but not quite as good behind the plate - still above average though.

Sounds like Holden Dickson from when I left Jacksonville. He had 45 HRs and 231 K's while hitting .209 in 566 ABs.

I don’t even like Altair much either. What's not to like about subpar contact, propensity to strike out a lot, and some homers sprinkled in there? Throw in an inability to play any position other than first base for good measure. I was trying to figure out how in the world he is ranked 17th.

Now that the free agency period for the Stars is effectively done after signing a one year/$1.4M contract, the Stars front office decided it was time to assess the status of the farm system. The team communications correspondent, Barf Otto (BO) has been tasked with reporting the findings. BO was quo...

In what has been a quiet free agency period for Valencia, the Stars organization made its first splash in the pool today by signing C Rafael Elias . The Stars have been pretty strapped this off-season with only having a $2.3M budget to spend on free agents this off-season. Front office spokesperson/...

The Arbitration process for the 2059 off-season has been completed and the results are about what was expected for the Valencia front office. There were 6 players involved this offseason with 4 of the 6 arbitration bids going in the Stars favor. SP Adam Hines received $6.9M in lieu of the $5.8M offe...

Can I hire her too?

If you hire her as a moonlighting gig, I would suggest a swear jar. It has been a good fundraiser for us .

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.
