I've got Jose Villalmanzo stuck on my DL. I can't activate him for whatever reason. He should be in A-ball if possible.

Coaching Carousel Begins Early The news is apparently final, Yellow Springs Pitching coach Dan Walker has been fired, long live the new king, whoever the hell he’ll wind up being. The embattled pitching coach was given his walking papers despite having a season left on his contract after the team c...

Welcome aboard (again?), Mike!

Can you add them as attachments?

Hehh!

IT's good for injury recovery but, as Fred notes, possibly bad for rust development.

Maybe I'm missing something, but right now I can essentially release Chavez for almost free. I'm locked out of IFA next year, so that's not an issue. The only real problem is possible cash for major draft pick signing and a bot of a question on IFA for 2039 if we can't get our revenue stream up agai...

Worth noting that as a result of the rainouts, all of the geoghegan teams gets to set rotations for full rest.

Yep. And those byes step out even another week.

With the 2037 season ground to an excruciating, but merciful end for the Yellow Springs Nine, rumors from inside team headquarters is that the team is seriously considering releasing longtime face of the franchise Jose Chavez . The beloved face of the franchise for over a decade, the man they call D...

Mexico City will finish the year with five rain-out games. Their magic number is 3. Win three and go to the playoffs, win 2 and they tie with Huntsville. Win 1 and Huntsville goes straight-out. So, what happens?

I made another quick update...overall, things are looking pretty solid...but several teams still need a few TNs and whatnot.

Probably not, but Maldonado's ratings vs LHP aren't much different than McKinney's. I'd prefer he platoon, but there's no reason to think he couldn't at least hold his own with Maldonado if forced into service. All said, by ratings, you take Maldonado's bat by a little, and Maldonado clearly separat...

All 9s are definitely not equal. If I had to make a bet I'd put a small lunch on some light lumping, but I wouldn't be very sure of the odds I was going to win. OOTP is odd sometimes.

Nine Rookie Maligned By Maldonado http://montybrewster.net/BBA/HTML/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_38895.png The Yellow Springs Nine season has been one of fits and starts, but the one constant burning light has been the play of 22-year-old outfielder Andy McKinney . Among qualified rookie...

To be clear again...I'm not personally a big fan of relative ratings. I do think I'm an outlier, though, and that most here will like them once they get settled into them, though. I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

I agree that our ratings are bloated and that development is hard to predict...does not feel exactly real. There are several possible reasons for it. All I can say for sure is that the core development algorithms for v19 are not substantially different from v18.

It's fair to complain about the timing, and even the process itself, but yeah, most of those are not actually ratings hits. Just differences in his they are presented.

Which for some, is more important than the actual ratings showing.

I understand and agree.

You're rooting a guy who can't even make the all-star team?

Maybe you should add McNeill next year?
