Re: 2058.03 - Gertie Chimes in on Rule5

If it makes you feel any better...the ONLY reason I chose Flores is because he was on Madison. Each year now I just filter by organization and make sure I have at least 5 Madison people on my list.

Jose Barron gives the double whammy by joining Ly in opting out.(57.03)

Alright, brace yourself, Omaha. As you get out your Andre Ly cards to reminisce on his 2047 Sawyer season, you might have another card to pull out. Jose Barron has also notified the Cyclones that he will opt out of the remainder of his contract. Barron, who is actually in his second stint with the t...

Andre Ly surprises an entire state by opting out.(57.02)

It was the news that nobody was expecting to wake up to. The news that Andre Ly who has been with Omaha now for the past 17 years, the only team in his career, was opting out of the remainder of his contract. The 37-year-old outfielder still managed a 2.0 WAR last season over 499 plate appearances. ...

I am sorry that I have not been active and writing.

I just want to take a few minutes to apologize to the league for my lack of team news this year. When I came back last season after a 1-year hiatus, I had every intention to come back strong, but one thing came up after another and this really unfortunately took a back door. I still managed to "mana...

Re: Minor League Age Limits Should be Age at Start of the Season

Nothing needs to be reverted to make this happen. Instead, the "roster warning" about being too old just needs to be ignored by Recte after the first day of the season.

Congrats to Felix Roman.

The day that Omaha Cyclones fans had long hoped would never come, finally arrived this season. Mexico City’s Felix Roman belted home run number 739, effectively becoming the Home Run King, just 8 years after Emilio Morales hit number 721 in 2048 to become the all-time home run leader in league histo...

Re: IFA Tax Rule

I agree completely with @GoldenOne. If we are going to make new rules, then something as recent as last off-season should be reversed.

Makes you wonder what the longest stints out of the game. This should be close if not the longest.
According to Statsplus it's 13 years for a pitcher going seasons between wins.
