I've always chuckled at the name of your AAA team. For actual IndyCars, IMS is the track where they actually have the least amount of "downforce" and thence reach the highest speeds. I really don't care for that team's set up but I am the world's worst at graphics, so they'll be the downforce for a...

Folks calling people up immediate is so weird to me. But I guess it's working. Maybe it varies case-to-case for you, but in this instance, are you opposed to it because he was just drafted/needs MiLB experience or because of starting his service time clock? More the experience than the time clock. ...

So I completely missed this when Graham posted it. Holy crap that's an amazing piece of work! Well played @Graham

And yet Silva might still not make the Hall because Reasons. Sigh.

Cruz would make the team good every five days. Bayou helps the pitchers and plays every day.

True but assuming that Cruz plays to potential, you can get an almost Bayou, but it's much harder to get a Cruz.

Always defend family honor.

"Did you fire Bill Inkster today?" GM Rob McMonigal stared at the text on his phone. It was from Dave Tallent, the manager at Indianapolis. It was unusually forward, but Tallent wasn't exactly known for his level head. It was one of the things that gave McMonigal pause about promoting him someday. A...

Simon Ybarra had a small box of possessions with him as he knocked on GM Rob McMonigal's door. "Hi Mac, I'm all set," said the long-time pitching coach turned assistant GM. "This was a really entertaining year. I'm glad I had a chance to experience things from this side of the field. And it sure bea...

Just isn't working out and we're actually in a place where I'd rather win now-ish.

Please return Mr. Sier back to Charm City.

Thanks!

Oh no I took it as ignore their contract situation but you’re getting them at their current age, ratings, injury proneness, etc.

Me too which is why I had to think hard about it. but pitching man. always pitching.

I think if the question was is the IFA better than rounds 3 to 5 of the draft it would be more intriguing as a thought exercise.

Matt,

Could you please put Annis into my #1 catching spot for both LHP and RHP lineups?

Thanks!

The Nine invoke the right to refuse to accept a return. Please do not place bobby sherman on the Nine's roster and if the game takes out the 1.2 million, please refund it to the team.

Thank you!

Well played, my friend, well played.

I did not have contracts out on them. I wasn't trying to sign them and didn't care if I did - none of those guys are worth crap. I also had no idea this was not supposed to be done and can't remember when I did this or didn't do it. It's fixed now. I figured out how. Do whatever you feel is necessa...

There are days I like the idea of a veteran's committee and days I don't. On the days I like It I think: 1) It should be comprised of very long standing GMs. 2) It should be limited in the number of players it can select in a year. 3) The players on their eligibility list should definitely be well ...

The tension between Big Hall and Small Hall is, overall, healthy. Now that we can see the actually voting patterns, there are some interesting voting tendencies that can be pointed out. But I think the only thing that should probably change is that BBA GMs who are also GBC GMs should not be given t...

Unlimited votes scares me because I think it will lead to players staying on the ballot longer rather than inducting more players. Induction is the ultimate goal. I don’t know about veterans committee vs lowering the standard to say 65%. Veterans committee sounds like a more fun source of discussio...

Could we tweak the player creation figures to create better representation of players from actual GBC nations in the amateur draft, and maybe fewer players from sparsely populated Pacific islands? Looking at the current draft pool, player distribution for GBC nations looks like this. Argentina = 0 ...
