I can never predict when they will. I'd think he would just because he still has talent. If you're a SS away and have the cap, you gotta overpay and take that chance.

Man, Menzies still getting it done. Banged up but still productive. He was someone I wanted bad in his younger days.

Re: 2057 - Why Has Lúcio Juárez Allowed 13 Homers?
He missed all of 2056 with injury and his stuff has lumped. I think it may be a simple as this. His K/9 is down 5% and BABIP is at a career high .327. His changeup was at least a fringe average pitch before and now it's probably about useless. I know the conversation above mentioned that it's proba...

Very sad. As others have said, good to know he had his family with him. Condolences to them.

Cairo Chronicles 2057.04: Prospect Check (#1-5)
Rankings according to BNN 1) Bannon McThomas | COF | AA | ETA: 2058 A 7th round pick back in 2052, McThomas has shot up the prospect rankings. Currently, he's the #2 prospect overall in the GBC. His AA numbers probably mirror his career projections (.216/.358/.431). Your typical power hitting corne...

Re: When Do You Promote Prospects To The Majors?
It's a combo of 1 & 2. If someone has insane stats at AAA but isn't developed fully, I'll take a shot. And if someone is developed but maybe is starting to get to that point of needing the push despite not putting up gaudy numbers, I'll move them up if there's a spot. 3 rarely comes into play. Ideal...

I saw Ron post on the other question about you fixing the balancing so that's enough for me to vote yes without really knowing.

hot take: why not enable inter-league trading or a GBC posting fee that would incentivize GBC GMs to let their stars go?? maybe a posting fee in PP or similar It'd be interesting. Rule 6 kind of did this. I think you got a Rule 5 eligible player back from a team who took your player in the Rule 6. ...

Cairo Chronicles 2057.03: Peyton Staying in Cairo
One of GM Brandon Slouck's first orders of business was locking up superstar CF Blair Peyton . "I wasn't going to the one to let him walk and be signed by a BBA team," the GM said to the press. "I know he takes up a lot of cap but I couldn't let him walk right after getting here. He's a special play...

Re: 2057, BBA All-Star Voting Chatter
For relief, I give a vote to the top save folks only, then move to holds. shutdowns, etc. WAR as a last resort tiebreaker because I personally dislike the stat, especially in OOTP. WAR definitely isn't an end all be all, but I like it for comparing the same positions. I like WPA more. Usually those...

Re: 2057, BBA All-Star Voting Chatter
Interesting to see what criteria folks use to vote for relievers. I look at who has the most saves plus wins minus losses. Then I try to include at least one guy who has a lot of “holds” and a good WHIP, and another guy who has pitched a ton of innings in relief and done well. I can never find blow...

Cairo Chronicles 2057.02: Last Draft 2057 BBS
Prior to the GM change in Cairo, the 2057 Draft took place. A chance to have the future stars of the GBC to start their careers. This particular draft was light on stars. That's putting it generously. Very generously. Cairo had 2 1st round picks and, well, it wasn't a good year to have 2 first round...
