An exception to the rule?
I've always deliberately, and at all costs, avoid building a team from FA. But I'm losing 18 players off my 40-man at the end of the year and all but a few of them are MLB guys. Just bad luck I guess. But what do you guys think? Is this an exception to the rule of building thru FA? I have maybe 3 or 4 prospects that I could give a look, but I don't want to start their clock. I just have a big gap of old guys moving on and young guys that aren't far enough along in their development.

Re: An exception to the rule?
I mean what’s the other option, trading from the farm and making waiver claims? Go crazy in rule 5?

Re: An exception to the rule?
I know. I've never had a clear "old guys" camp and "young guys" like my roster right now. There's going to be a middle period where we take tryouts at CVSBaseClogger wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 2:42 pmI mean what’s the other option, trading from the farm and making waiver claims? Go crazy in rule 5?

Changing the GBC's "reputation" to Independent league level has really screwed everything up. I'm not sure there is much you can do.

Re: An exception to the rule?
I actually don't want to resign all of the guys. But extending 9 while 9 others walk is better than losing 18 in one swoop.jiminyhopkins wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 2:55 pmChanging the GBC's "reputation" to Independent league level has really screwed everything up.

Yeah. When I took over the Pharaohs this past off-season there were like 4 guys on the big league roster. It’s a different world.
