[bigmike13]

Got back from the trip in time to make some upgrades to the team.

[ae37jr]

Was hoping to pick up a few players in the Rule 5 Draft. Had a list 14 players long.... had to settle for player number 14 only. Can't slide anything by this group.

[indiansfan]

Achieved my 2 main FA goals. Got a closer and with Moore I got another option at SS.

[aaronweiner]

I got the one guy I wanted in the Rule 5, so I'm happy. I'll still need a fifth outfielder but other than the fact that he's an unmotivated twit he's exactly what I needed.

[bcslouck]

Disappointing losing out on some of these players offering more money. But I couldn't justify making those offers without TO's.

[Fat Nige]

I think I'm well and truly screwed next year, my hopes was having such a young team they would develop and get better. This annual re scout has 98% of my 40-man lumping, mostly contract/stuff, a lot by two points and the final 2% or even less maybe staying the same. not ONE player has actually got better, not one. I'd have been happy with a few points extra here and there but I get nothing and an already shabby team getting considerably worse. Players struggling with 6 contact will love their new 4 contact rating for next year

[agrudez]

This IFA class makes me sad.

[niles08]

I don't believe it was a "rescout". To my understanding players are now rating with a 5 truly being average rather than the 7 contact average hitting that was before. What I am unsure of is whether it is relative to position? Meaning is a player rating a 5 contact(avg) in CF but a 6 in RF because Right field doesn't have strong hitters? Someone answer this with more knowledge than me...

And yes...the IFA class is very discouraging. I had so much budget room that I was planning on going hog wild but I am unsure now because most aren't very good.

[agrudez]

That said, I am glad that the IFA class sucks from a macro perspective. My memory might be foggy, but I remember there being a ton of guys last time around that would've been top 5-ish picks in the draft and that's not a healthy dichotomy for the league (basically giving the good/rich teams an equivalent means to stock up as bad/poor teams). I just wish it started being healthier for the league as a whole NEXT season, so that I could go Scrooge McDuck one last time, first.

[7teen]

Lost no one in Rule 5. Shew. I guess it means my scrubs just suck. Which they do.

[GoldenOne]

Nashville Goats: Lost C Andrew van Antwerpen in the Rule 5 Draft to the Wichita Aviators.
Wichita Aviators: Drafted C Andrew van Antwerpen in the 2037 Rule 5 Draft (Round 8, Pick 8, 218th overall Pick), from the Nashville Goats.

Not that I would have put this guy (Andrew van Antwerpen) on my 40-man roster anyway but I didnt think he would be eligible for the Rule 5 draft since I just signed him to a minor league deal last sim. Unless I am reading the Constitution wrong, I dont think he should have been eligible:

"The league uses guidelines inherent in OOTP to determine Rule 5 eligibility. As a general rule, players eligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft are players who are not on their Major League organization’s 40-man roster and:
- were signed at age 19 or older and have been in the organization for four years; or
- were signed at age 18 or younger and have been in the organization for five years."

van Antwerpen was not on my 40-man. He was signed at age 29. However, he was only in my organization for less than 2 weeks.

Am I missing something?

He's eligible per those rules. I can see where the confusion is in the wording, but it doesn't matter that he's only been in your organization for 2 weeks because it's only a matter of how long he's been in the league, not any particular organization.

But it says "organization." We may want to make a wording change to avoid further confusion.

I think I'm well and truly screwed next year, my hopes was having such a young team they would develop and get better. This annual re scout has 98% of my 40-man lumping, mostly contract/stuff, a lot by two points and the final 2% or even less maybe staying the same. not ONE player has actually got better, not one. I'd have been happy with a few points extra here and there but I get nothing and an already shabby team getting considerably worse. Players struggling with 6 contact will love their new 4 contact rating for next year

Nige, as we've talked about, no one's actual ratings changed, just the displayed ratings. No one's players got any worse despite everyone seeing similar ratings changes to what you're describing.

The Brewster is an "organization", too. Just look at pro service - he's got 7 years.

Yes, there are many organizations. However, if you read the entire sentence, it is clear it is talking about the major league organization that the player is a part of.

"The league uses guidelines inherent in OOTP to determine Rule 5 eligibility. As a general rule, players eligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft are players who are not on their Major League organization’s 40-man roster and:
- were signed at age 19 or older and have been in the organization for four years; or
- were signed at age 18 or younger and have been in the organization for five year."

If it truly means within The Brewster, then the wording should be changed to reflect that specificity. For example - were signed at age 19 or older and have at least four years of Prefessional Service time.

I'm not going to cry about it but just pointing out a place for possible confusion.
