Re: Announcement Re: IFA

So your argument is first round, not second round picks. That’s a reasonable point of view if the players are that imbalancing and something reasonable minds can argue. But something should be done for the sake of competitive balance. The ability to sign additional IFAs should be absolutely out the...

Re: Announcement Re: IFA

The correct solution here is an eye for an eye - in this case that would be draft picks. I'd recommend a second round pick for every IFA signed, which is the sort of middle ground that makes sense since they're gathering competition-free prospects illicitly. It also wouldn't require rewinding the g...

Re: 2059 BBA Compensation List

So as the author of this rule and the guy who used to enforce it, no, it’s not a difficult rule. The two-year averages are made even easier if you eliminate everyone who didn't make the threshold LAST year, as the rule reads. You’d have to do that anyway under any system. The rule is meant to elimin...

Re: Announcement Re: IFA

There are no bad guys here. No good guys either. But I agree that this is the wrong solution. IFA sim is January 1, and not before. A few GMs did the wrong thing, wittingly or unwittingly, and they shouldn't be rewarded. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. The correct solution here is...

Pepper has been consistently practicing the ancient art of accelerated lumping over the past season. Unless he retired, he was taking the cash.

Admist the smoldering wasteland that was once America is the BBA, the last bastion of entertainment in the age of nuclear fallout. But the brave owners of BBA teams are now going beyond mere entertainment, mere baseball. Each team has created something called a "development lab," meant to restore a...

Jacksonville Spends 30

To change their team name to the Zombies.

All team colors can stay the same.

Most of the world is a radioactive wreckage, a fallout so severe, so outrageous, that most of the individuals left on Earth are unrecognizable, if still surprisingly fairly healthy. It was predicted that the world would eventually self-destruct, that humanity was on a perpetual track to "better its...

Re: Impact of OOTP 25 on Sluggers

From what I can tell, we may have to start our statistics over again from 2059 - or at least somewhere notice the schism between them.

We might get a lot of newly minted .250-30 homer guys who used to be superstars.
