TWC 48.07 River Monsters on Pace for Franchise worst season

Ironically, the achilles heal of the past that sunk several play off runs, the starting rotation, seems to be performing well... However, the Offense is completely awful. Outside of Olivia Luna, the line up is filled with minor leaguers and washed up veterans. And even Luna is flailing after a fast ...

Re: Important Draft Rules Change

Hard no on that I'll ask in another way... is that your sentiment or is it not possible within the OOTP sim engine? It is possible. I'm guessing there's a story behind the ban on Trading Draft Picks. I suppose there's worse ways to wreck a franchise than several backloaded FA contracts.... And invo...

Re: Important Draft Rules Change

Well - for starters - im not sure what comp picks might not be awarded for the next draft (note: I dont think i will get any unless something drastic happens in the second half of the season...so this isnt a homer thing) - but i dont think it is fair to those who might have otherwise have received ...

Re: Important Draft Rules Change

Can you tell me what changed in an immediate sense that would have required waiting on this? I drafted two players that I had no intention of signing, thinking I would be getting comp picks next year when the draft would maybe be better. You can call it "gaming the system" but I didn't have someone...

Re: Weiner's Top Ten In The 2048 BBA Amateur Draft, And Why

My debate at 5 was between Jackson and Miyauchi so it gives me some confidence seeing you put them there. González was close, but that third pitch was scary. I see why you put him where you did though. Great work as always. Thanks Aaron I like pitchers who have a fallback plan, and Gonzalez does. N...

TWC 48.03 Pitchers... Pitchers... Too many pitchers

In the past, during TWC's previous play offs runs, several seasons have gone off the rails due to extreme injuries to top starters. So maybe it can be forgiven if GM Scott Piccoli has almost exclusively focuses on prospect pitchers in either trades or early rounds of the draft. So the current situat...

TWC 48.02 The Rule 5 Rebuild (and other cast offs...)

When there's no money to be found... there's no shame in digging through the trash to find other people's cast offs. You just never know what other teams might throw away... even if it's by accident. With an angry, miserly Owner... any contract over $500K is too much these days. Fortunately, there's...

Now... about Comp Picks for Free Agents? Maybe a couple sim extension? I kind of got screwed and I know I'm not the only one.

If not... then so be it. But no one was going to pay Arrendondo almost $30 million per season.
