Robert Wilson breaks out at 29.(55.22)

Leonardo Ramos wasn’t the only “breakout” for Omaha in 2055. Robert Wilson , who was acquired from Atlantic City just days after the 2055 season began, had what you could call a breakout. Prior to this season, Wilson had one season where he had been called upon to start. That was the 2054 campaign ...

Omaha goes 2-2 in Arbitration(55.21)

While Omaha has routinely agreed to contract extensions with the majority of its players prior to entering arbitration, they did have a few players that they were not able to come to terms with.

Luis Mendoza opts in, but team says not to get comfortable.(55.20)

Well, assuming Mendoza was the same for 2059 and 2060 and takes the final $30,800,000 sprea...

Re: My status with the BBA.

I am going to try my absolute best to keep up here. Part of the reason I was leaving was because of the game and how it...

I'd like to see one of three systems enacted: Straight up, easy #1: Turn off age requirements for AA. High minors don't need age requirements. I love that the low minors do, but by the time they get to AA it's okay if we have aging guys hanging on down there. Slightly more complicated #2: In-season...

Damn. Was hoping Brooks Eliot made it. He’s been off to a great start.
