I have done this before with Tyler when we pulled off the Wareham trade. We had the trade agreed to and then I negotiated the contract extension using his guidance and directions before we made it official. That was at the trade deadline, though, wasn't it? I have told a team that I'll be more inte...

There are technically a few sims between the end of the playoffs and FAs filing and we technically don't have a rule to legislate against teams trading during it.

Bump.

So the top few guys on my list for rd 5 are pitchers. I have drafted four pitchers so far. At what point do I say "screw it" and try to go 20 for 20?

I've always assumed that's what you've been trying to do for years.

I would have went for him over Uribe, but he was impossible to sign :\

Without game access at work, these rounds go too quick for me to prepare properly at home so I'm flying by the seat of my pants on signability.

Confirmed.

Pre-sim instructions: Make Gonzalez my starting 2B against both hands. Thanks!

Still, there is a real possibility that we will be able to make another playoff appearance

I'll take 'Understatements' for 100, Alex.

I'd be against interaction between the leagues. Times infinity while GMs have teams in both.

Thanks Ron. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled and try it out. 2 non-knuckleball pitches, tagged in game as a SP and has good ratings? He's a SP conversion candidate - and will more than likely exit the conversion with the exact same ratings as you see now + a 3rd pitch. 2 non-knuckleball pitches, ta...

I thought there was language in the Constitution that said something about the Commish taking action if a team didn't get back under the cap after a certain number (1 or 2) of sims. Didn't see it when I checked today though. TLDR: It's a hard cap. Certainly isnt in there. Not asking for a rule chan...

I wrote a good bit of the current constitution and thought that it covered the bases properly for the intent of a hard cap. I wasn't aware there was an oversight in its text relative to its intent until you brought it up. The language makes me believe it wasnt "missed as a "loophole" and was intent...

Alright, 3 picks away and he's still on the board. I can't believe I'm actually going to get him. With a 10 pp investment he's a top 5-10 sp in this draft available midway through the second. Welcome home, Ernes...

Damnit, LBC.

Spending past your budget is vastly different than telling the salary cap to go fuck itself in what is supposedly a hard cap league. So well said. I didn't bother to read your novella, Ron, because this shouldn't even be debatable. There is even clear intent in the constitution to curb this practic...

Words are wind. Sometimes people have to be empirically shown how bad something is by someone exploiting it. Kudos in your endeavor, Ted. I'll give you Marino or Young (your choice) for free to help the demonstration. Just post it up with whichever you prefer.

Let's say he's a .775 OPS. Would you rather that offense coming from an above average RF or a below average 2B*? That seems like pretty average offensive production from a corner OF, but solidly good from a 2B. *Note: I don't actually think he'll be below average at 2B, but for the sake of argument...

Pre-sim instructions: Please put Chavez in as my starting 2B against RHP.

Huntsville receives:
CF Vicente Chavez

Omaha receives:
nothing

Drew's value plummets precipitously if you keep him at corner OF. You have to give him a chance at 2b.
