On the block *SP/RP Ommar bin Ayyub -Best prospect offered gets him. Rental who can fill a need in the rotation or bullpen. *SP/RP Ramón González -I'm not looking for a 65 rating return. I honestly want his contract gone. Good gamble for a rebuilding team. Has the ratings to be a good pitcher. All ...

the list can't come out until spring training starts

Is there a specific reason for this other than players not being signed by teams until Spring Training so a team doesn't get a pick? I figure you should have an idea if you will be getting one or not.

would someone please sign cordell vaughn ASAP i want that comp pick

No. Also, has the list come out? And don't you not get a pick for being a playoff team? I'm trying to catch up on how the comps have changed since I left.

Added an edit. We did lose a player.

Vancouver receives:
RP Alex Brayton

Bikini receives:
$696,969

Pleasure! Leave Brayton in DFA I'll assign him after.

I can't remember if I had Sawyers on my list or not and where he was ranked. Seems like a guy I would of liked. Either way, taken a pick before me. I'm sure he'll hit 50 HR's for Calgary.

Even if nobody is kept the rule 5 creates some writing fodder and shines a spotlight on a bunch of second tier prospects which I enjoy.

Berry was on my list I just didn’t have the space for multiple picks.

Absolutely. It's an easy TN for anyone who struggles creatively like I do sometimes.

Love seeing how the raw rule 5 players end up progressing.

Yeah and you know, I may have to create a short list of Rule 5 players I end up returning. Maybe even league wide. May be a fun little league feature down the line.

The Winter Meetings ended last night with the Rule 5 draft. The Oysters drafted 3 players and lost none (EDIT: Oysters lost Muneer bin Khairy to Brooklyn). With the 17th pick overall, the organization selected SP Kensaku Sato from Nashville. At 24, scouting reports say he's still raw but has some go...

Ramón Gonzalez has had a befuddling career. You’d think those ratings would make him a hammer out of the bullpen at the very least, but instead his best success has been as a mid-rotation starter.

Agreed. Not really sure what my plan is for him yet.

At the end of the year, the Oysters had 2 players with options and 1 player with a team option. Chris Thompson declined his player option and it's easy to see why. The 32 year pitched a career year going 16-6 and 3.07 ERA. He also pitched to a 3.15 ERA at home, a park that leans heavy in favor of th...

New Orleans receives:
2B Zenobius Kazantziakis - DFA

Rocky Mountain receives:
C Dolan Elmar - IFC

@JimBob2232 to confirm.

I like a good trolling and it's not like you don't have the spare PPT to do it.

I don't like that #8 just left me.

I liked it too and I like that you've brought it back.

Sounds like some fun times ahead!

Little hamstrung financially this year so we'll see. Hope so.

I'd like to transfer $10,000,000 in bonus funds to cash please.

Coooooool

Just over a year removed from winning the Landis Memorial, the Oysters find themselves under new management after Brett Golden stepped down. Picked from Cairo after his own hiatus after stepping down, GM Brandon Slouck was hired to hopefully get the team back on track competing in the Johnson League...

On the block *OF Federico Linares -Lefty killer. Can still play CF but would be elite in the corners. Also could be a decent 2B (needs reps) or 3B (already a 5). 2 years of arbitration left. Looking for a strong offer. *SP/RP Ommar bin Ayyub -Salary dump. Best prospect offered gets him. Ideally, I ...
