In the Bagh - Vol. 2 - Baby, It's Cold Inside!

Post by redcup217 » Tue Jun 18, 2019 2:16 pm

With the Winter Meetings coming to a close, Mr. Herren felt the cold shoulder from many of the managers. Nothing compared, though, to the sub-zero looks he got from the Free Agents. Mr. Herren had never felt the disdain and contempt he got from those players hoping for "one more shot at the bigs," even from his four ex-wives.

One bright spot to the Meetings was the emails received from his management contracts. It seems that Baghdad will at least start the season with a full management roster. Now if he could only convince the other GMs to even look his way.

Near the end of the Meeting, he did have one manager approach him. The trade Mr. Herren was offered almost looked too good to be true but step to make at least some moves during the Meetings, he jumped at a possible trade with Jerusalem. Only time will tell if this trade would be a good deal or if he got sold a bill of goods. One thing is sure, though. This might be the first steps to peace in the Middle East!

FYI, more players will be interested before much longer. I know bunch of you UMEBA guys just got here, I can't remember exactly when or what you've seen. Basically, it's hard to get OOTP to get the "right" players (aging vets and career minor leaguers, etc) interested in an independent league. We had the game set so that the right guys were going over to play during the season, but then when this FA started the top FA guys were talking to UMEBA teams, so Recte turned the league rep down. It'll go back up again when it's appropriate for guys who didn't land a big league gig to start thinking about making money in the UMEBA.

Yeah, I figured. Just doing a little role-playing and having fun with it. Eventually, even us little guys are a better choice than sitting at home on the couch!

The role-play aspect is what makes this league so great. Keep up the great work.

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.
