Relative ratings is like bowling with the bumpers in the gutters.

I seen that comparison today as well....very similar to having scouts turned off, or overall/potentials on, or other items that make the game "not too tough".

An argument against: the 20-80 ratings have a significant recency bias.

What does 20-80 have to do with anything? Leave it at 1-10 like we have it and use relative ratings on those.

Omaha receives: SS Pedro Gongora (A) LF Adam Alomar (AA) Twin Cities receives: SS Luis Pena (BBA) $1,863,223 in cash. Twin Cities to confirm. Gongora and Alomar can go where ever the game puts them(assuming it's not BBA). If it doesn't put them anywhere they can stay DFA. Trade sent in game as well....

A few reasons we should consider switching back to relative ratings. With the change in minor league age limits coming up, in addition to the importance of “developing” your prospects more than ever, it is very important that we consider the change to relative ratings again. In relative mode, being...

Editor's Note: Please feel free to comment any thoughts, especially if they are to tell me I am wrong. I am not trying to start a league wide debate on this, but I thought I would share this analysis. I did it mainly because it keeps me from wanting to deal quite a few of my "stars" for prospects d...

Valle is a slam dunk, 1st ballot, HOF. He should get 100% of the votes. 4th in career wins. 31st in career strikeouts 37th in WAR 100% ? Did Niles quit? Like you guys could get that lucky for me to quit. With that being said...he looks like a 100% Hall of Famer to me. As typical, once I say yes to ...

bump for Pena

I believe Ron did a study on this at one point and talked about how it rarely (if ever) worked because of the value of prospects in your system etc. Despite his study...I still do it on occassion depending on when my pick comes around. If I pick at the end of round 1, I am more likely to "roll the p...

Now that football season is over, I spent quite a bit of time just relaxing, playing Fortnite. Now that they have the "no build", I like it because someone can't decide to build a house in front of me while I am shooting at them. I prefer Fortnite instead of Call of Duty (and other games similar) be...

EXCELLENT write up. I would be thrilled with 97 wins and I only hope your right!

• Strikeouts: 3 fun points (we’ll talk about this in a minute)

Curious on this still. You said we'd talk about it but we never did

I am one of the few who bring less than 30. Typically, by the second sim I have ALL of my cuts made and am just running the opening roster out there the final 2 weeks.

The people of Omaha and the Omaha Cyclones are in grief today with the death of the team's owner Jesse Ayers, who died earlier in the week from illness. Ayers will be memorialized at his funeral tomorrow at a local church. Speculation on the new owner centers on his oldest son. Reliable sources in t...

I bet you sell about 25,000.

I would be ALL for that.

After rumors, Orlando Ordonez indeed does sign an extension with Omaha. Just on the heels of the Andre Ly extension, chalk up another homegrown player staying home. Omaha announced a 6 year $69,000,000 extension with Orlando Ordonez that begins in 2055 at the age of 35. Ordonez does hold an opt-out ...

Despite fan interest the highest it has ever been, Omaha rolled out new promotional campaigns last week announcing that season ticket renewals would be $13.00 per game! For those who haven’t been following along, that is $2 cheaper than Omaha’s absurd “family” pricing they rolled out midway through ...

I am glad I got him back to Yellow Springs to retire the correct way.
