You talk about your bad farm system but then here comes Sanchez and Warner ready to take on full roles. Neither player was ever considered a top 100 prospect by either BBA or Breum's Prospect Pipeline. I think it's because I prefer higher floor, lower ceiling players. So they fly under the radar. B...

Not even 24 hours after losing a thrilling Cartwright Cup to the Nashville Bluebirds, The Twin Cities River Monsters went right back to the drawing board to plan for 2064. Second Baseman Miller Shed is rumored to be heading to the Vancouver Mounties in exchange for SS Tyler Conklin . On the surface,...

I've been using a similar strategy the last several seasons. Picking up as many high upside warty pitchers as I can. Then using the d-lab, contrasting coaches and player dev sliders to try to polish them. High velocity/stuff pitchers seem the easiest to come by as a great number of teams weigh mov/c...

45 pot players are important. Gives you a solid floor so when you get hit with injuries... You don't have to make a trade.

Playing arm chair GM.... If I were in your shoes I would uncheck the two way player button and just use him as a hitter for the rest of the playoffs. He's not going to be a difference maker out of the pen against Charm City's lefty heavy lineup. Throw in rust and greater chance of reinjury and it's ...

There's competition to get into the playoffs but man it sure seems like you could just pencil in Nashville, Charm City, Charlotte and Twin Cities as the final 4 teams and be 75 percent right 4 out of 5 years. I agree. I am sick of seeing the same teams(including Twin Cities) in it year in and year ...

I just don't want to see Charm City VS Nashville. Is Joe Natta going to play tonight? Had a tough decision with Takuda. He is day to day for 5 days, which would line him up for Game 5. Technically I could pitch him with a D2D, but he is made of glass and probably gets hurt on pitch 1, leaving a lot ...

I appreciate the modesty from most everyone regarding their chances in each series, but it would be fun for a change to see GMs walk into their series ridiculously over-confident and a bit bombastic. All this humble pie is making me sick to my stomach (and, yes, I've always done the same thing). La...

I kinda agree. You shouldn't shit on people's blocks. I think we all know going in that 99% of the players on the block are on there because they have flaws. Pointing them out can turn political. Like one team posts a block and a portion of the league tries to sabotage them. Just to get to absurdum ...

I usually go with a 3 man rotation in the Geoghegan. Game 1 starter has to pitch on short rest, but game 2/5 starter is normal.

If you put Dunn on playoff IL, you can add Raymond.

Alright. I apologize to Nathan, Woody and Matt. I'm wrong. It just didn't seem right that Natta was held back in year one and year 5 isn't over. I guess Nathan had them planned to the day.

Problem is that the service time is jacked up. I looked at a rule 5 pick on my team and he already has 1 year of service time. Once a player hits 167, he doesn't accumulate any more service time for the year. As seen with the screenshot of Martinez having hit 5 years a sim or 2 ago yet he still says...

He did not. We haver been discussing it in the GB forum. Service time years do not equal seasons, btw. They equal a certain amount of days in the big leagues. It seems you may not fully understand how that works. Why did we change service time to 167 in the first place? Who's bright idea was that? ...

Alan, wtf?

I'm sorry but it is clear as day in the Constitution. Bandit came up in 2059. Not even on opening day. 2063 is not over. He does not have 5 years service even now. Nathan even just admitted that he knew there was a bug and took advantage of it

You can't deny it. It's all black and white. You are a cheater

You skirted the rules.

Players accumulate just over 1 service year per season.

Lol. Your math doesn't math. Sorry you got busted. But at least own up to it

How is it possible that Natta has 5 years service when he came up sometimes in 2059 and 2063 is not over yet. Explain it to me like I'm a toddler cause to me... If there is a bug, he shouldn't have 5 years now

Thanks for pointing this out.

Jacquot Natta signed a 5 year extension on 9/23. Didn't hit 5 years service time till 9/24. As an anonymous league member just pointed out Octávio Martínez signed the same exact deal. One concrete contract rule strictly enforced is that any player with less than 5 years of ML service time will not ...
