Lost the Landis but won IFA
How much did that cost you, $38m after penalties?

Re: 2039-40 Player Options: A Serial

I was being a smartass with the Flores comment. I knew once I was the leader in the clubhouse, I was doomed unless I wanted to jump the salary up to fight off any late pushes to top our offer (since the players pretty much spell out exactly what the top offer is). I didn't want to pay more, so I add...

And Lecaze is only a win if he was sure CCJ was planning on keeping him. Otherwise, he gave up free money by not forcing the Jimmies' hand.

Re: 2039-40 Player Options: A Serial

Flores is a loss. He passed up slightly more money (our base offer was a couple million less overall, but we had easily attainable bonuses; 100 IP; that would have put him slightly over EDM) to sign with EDM.

Another great choice.
I genuinely thought Stu would grab him, that's why I didn't do this as soon as he retired.

Re: 2039 Expansion Draft: An Overview

I only left Chien exposed because I was deathly afraid of his stamina dropping to a point where he's no longer able to even go 5 innings as a starter.

40.01 - Tropical Tidbits - Hurricanes Pick Up Scholsy

Today, the Hurricanes announced the signing of one of the best defensive catchers in the history of the game, Paul Scholes. Scholes was the starting catcher for the Canes from mid-2032 until mid-2035, winning his only league title but none of his 7 Zimmer Awards. Scholes commented that Rookie Ball w...

Re: 2039-2040 Offseason Compensation Thresholds

The game doesn't lower asking prices well in my experience. They stay at a similar range and sometimes just fall off a cliff (and sometimes a roster able player sits out an entire year because he never lowers his demands)

Re: 2040, EXPANSION DRAFT CHATTER

We lose a #4 starter with 3 stamina entering his age 30 season with 5 years, $32m still owed him. And a couple of mildly intriguing prospects. I had hoped O'Reilly would take the SS spot last year, but he barely held on to his AAA roster spot. Perez is intriguing at 7/7/8/6/6 against righties (and n...

Re: Crowdsourcing my protect list

🤔 why not all 1-10 or 20/80? Is their history behind that? For some reason, real world scouts rate players tools/abilities on a 20-80 scale; so that is why this option is available in OOTP. OOTP only allows 20-80 or Stars (1-5 in half-star increments) for overall ratings. They allow 1-5, 1-10, 1-20...

Re: 2039-40 Player Options: A Serial

Nice analysis...so safe to say this crop of opt-outs did fairly well in their asks to get a larger payday than what they walked away from? Now whether they get rewarded is an entirely different story, but at least the AI/contract engine seems to be somewhat working. We'll see what they end up signi...

Re: 2040, Player Options/Arby Chatter

Jacksonville Hurricanes: Signed 1B Bertram Hahn to a 2-year contract extension worth a total of $4,500,000.
I just can't quit Bertram Hahn. But paying him $2.5m and potentially $2m to hit at a roughly 1.5-2 WAR pace at DH isn't too bad, especially considering he's a Jacksonville legend.

Re: Crowdsourcing my protect list

I would definitely leave Luna unprotected. Heck, I've got half a dozen guys like him but some with better defense. If he gets taken, I'll trade one of them for Leyva! :D

Re: 2040, Rule 6 Draft

Rule 5 eligibility is 5 years right? If so then some guys I draft won’t be rule 5 eligible anyway. Either way I saw this as a very low risk move for Portland out of the gate. Harsnett isn’t a stud but could help an expansion team in certain regards if his salary isn’t bad. Rule 5 is generally 5 yea...

Nice to see Villegas contributing. He by no means has had a great career but a 23.1 WAR isn't anything to laugh at.
Yeah, he was always decent for you but just never lived up to the 9/7/10 potentials he had. And if he can tack on a few decent seasons as a reliever, he could surpass 2000 IP.
