2059 – Team Options (Team Released Player)
So we come to the last of this little series of missives, the one in which we discuss players for whom the axe fell, and whom their teams cut them to the wind. Theoretically these are players who GMs thought were over-paid, or at least no longer in their team’s plan going forward. By definition thes...

Re: Galaxy Gas 2059.05 – Arbitration Results Revealed
Hard to get too upset at paying Hines $6.9M, though he's been on again, off again for awhile and seems to be to an "off" again year.

2059 – Team Options (Team Retained Player)
There were a grand total of 29 cases of a BBA team executing their team options on players. In general the theory behind these is that the GM thinks the player has value greater than (or at least equal to) the player’s existing contract. Theoretically this goes directly to on-field performance, but ...

2059 – Options (Mutual Options)
While there is no such thing as a Mutual Option in OOTP, entering the off-season three players carried contracts with what I will always call "mutual options." Meaning the contract called for both a player opt-out and a team option. I find these interesting because in the right place it gives flexib...

Re: 2059 – Options (Opt-outs and True Options – Player Leaves)
First thing I’ll say is while those four guys who opted out and then re-signed got more guaranteed money out of their new deal they all had player options on their original contracts that gave them a lot more flexibility. I’d argue every player except Clayton hurt themselves by opting out. I agree ...

2059 – Options (Opt-outs and True Options – Player Leaves)
Personally, I find players who chose to opt out of contracts to be the most interesting when it comes to assessing how good or bad the game is at making these decisions. That’s because the assessment hinges on both the decision to leave, and then how much the player asks for. This log is probably go...

2059 – Options (Opt-outs and True Options – Player Stays)
I’ve chosen this gathering because whether the situation is one of an opt-out or a player option at the back end of the contract, it’s a situation that leaves all the power in the hands of the player. And in this case, every one of these players had an option to stay, and decided to enact it (I’ll d...

2059 – Options (Vesting)
I figured that with the pre-season happening in v25, it was time to focus on how the game is processing options. By this, I mean player options (both opt-ins and true options). So I started gathering up some data. Then I figured that before laying down player option data I should be a bit more compr...

Danny Leach Contract (Retention?)
Rockville traded Danny Leach to Boise last year, and retained 50%. Leach had a TO for this year, that Boise executed. This means Boise should be paying the entire amount of his contract. However, it appears that the game has Rockville still paying 50%. Can this be corrected?

IFAs Signed Last Sim
I note that five IFAs were signed last sim:
2 by DM
2 by EDM
1 by MTL
These should be struck and returned to the IFA pool.

Re: 58.073 – Season Review: Staff
I've always been of a mind that coaches made a difference, but it was small. I'm not sure that's true or not true now, but my team is pretty full on "good-not-great" kids, so I'm figuring it's time to maybe go all in on the system and see how they do. Worst that can happen is that the kids still die...

Great story. I, too, loved Lou Brock, despite the fact that I was a Cubs fan as a little kid growing up in South Bend, Indiana and getting all the games on WGN back when you could actually watch all the games -- as an older kid we moved to Louisville, and in that triangle I grew to follow the Cubs, ...

Re: V25 Development Lab and the BBA – First Pass Review/BBA Guide
If you track it in a daily league, you'll see the first about five days are listed as something like the player "under assessment" ... which means the training staff is monitoring the player and has no assessment. From then, the tag changes sometimes daily. I've seen guys struggle and be frustrated ...
