At 140 AB and $16m due, you kind of hope Menzies opts out of that last year of his contract.

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.

Too hard to understand. Please provide graph.

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.

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...

I would like a Starting Pitcher.

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. ...

I voted my preference but can’t think of a compelling reason to care.

Same

We suck. Might as well keep our star.

Bring back the Rule 6!

Maybe?

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...

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...

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...

Nice feature. Looking forward to the top 5.

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...
