On the block * 3B Carlton Winson Shopping again. He is willing to sign and I still have room to negotiate his big number down, which I can afford. Seeing what you have to offer. Looking for close to ML help. Preferably including a SP and replacement 3B or SS, and then some. Please MAKE OFFERS and w...

Salazar is down at 83, but he spent 4 years in the EBA, where he raked. He's actually been better in the BBA. He'll probably get over 500 combined HR's next season, may get to 600 when all is said and done and should get over 3000 hits combined. He's a lock for me.

Yeah, I should of at least offered arby to cover myself. Another question I would have is that he did decline a player option before not being offered arbitration. His WAR makes him eligible for a pick. Which takes precedent? The player option or the not offering arby? I assume the latter? I will sa...

Expansion Protection Lists Due!!!!!

Thank you!

And has anyone seen the list yet? Has it changed?

This is lame. I offered him a contract. I was back and forth on him, so I forgot to at least put something in the arby, I guess. He liked the contract I offered.

Regardless, the point has been made. But I also said it doesn't bother me. I'm indifferent to it.

When we were talking divisions, I thought for the south Dixie sounded good. But I also know what it's related too so didn't suggest it. Like Randy said, it's just a sensitive topic here right now. It doesn't really bother me, but I can also get the issue with it. If you want to stay in Kentucky, I'd...

Is it possible to get the Expansion List sim bumped a couple of hours at least? Our time to have a list was cut in half, and personally (and selfishly), I probably won't be able to look at the updated list until tomorrow around 6:30pm Eastern. That's if I'm hustling home and don't run into traffic....

Oh, I like this one. Already solid change up so he has his breaking pitch. Nice move.

I'm wondering if Jim's issue has to do with attempting to dl a file (which I saw you post about in the other thread a day or three ago). Purely speculating, but my guess is that the file you'd download right now would be a v18 file. So attempting to DL could be weird? Dunno. When I put it into 19, ...

JimBob2232 wrote:New file has the same issue. I was hoping it would be corrected. Any ideas?

Well I figure the 2 free agents will come off the list once they become free agents, which should happen before the lists are due. I'm assuming you couldn't drag them off the protection list?

Carlton Winson wins the Sawyer Silk in his first full season in Charm City. He also won the JL Charles Puckett Golden Bat Award at 3B. "It's a great honor," said Winson. "It was great to have this great year to go along with a great team. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it done in the playoffs. This...

I thought about it but I'm not exposing him. Maybe if I had a deeper farm. He would of been worth picking up to trade. Making a ton of cash, but it's only 1 year. At worst, you probably get a Type A pick for next draft if nobody bites.

Please convert Norberto León to a RP.

Hopefully the move to the 'pen will cut down on his injuries.

I keep seeing a lot of people say oh I’ll just expose my aging whatever to the expansion draft and clear his salary. Maybe Stu feels differently but I highly doubt I’m taking anyone who makes money and is older than 27. I've noticed that too, but I think Alan is right. If I were in your guys shoes,...

Nice to hear from one of the guys who's been around for it all.

I noticed it too, which is why I asked about the list potentially changing in a sim or 2 before the draft. So I made a list based on what I know now, but did not submit either.
