2008, Ammy Draft Chatter

[recte44]

Discuss.

Something's wrong with the draft order (Baltimore is #1 and California is #10). currently not giving me the option to edit draft order in game, so I'll have to figure it all out on Sunday, with draft starting sometime thereafter.

Can we PLEASE get rid of FA comp?

[scottsdale_joe]

I have hated FA comp since day one.
It being gone would be a blessing.

[recte44]

I mean seriously. It's a damn nightmare for me.

[nverhoev]

I won the draft lottery!

[recte44]

Yeah, except we don't have one so god only knows where OOTP got that order from. The fun part is trying to figure out who had what comp picks since there's no record of them anywhere. We might be screwed.

Can we develop a committee of GMs and discuss FA Compensation. I think it is the best thing about this league.

[agrudez]

Is the draft done in OOTPou?

[recte44]

Yes.

[agrudez]

At 8th I am far outside the range for the Big 3 starters and there is a sharp drop-off after them... just my luck. And the 2 best position players are catchers (the only position I'm deep at in my entire org)... even better! Atm there is only 1 guy I really want (outside the Big 3 starters) and assuming the afformentioned 5 are in the top 7 I will have a 33% chance (using fuzzy math) of getting him... I guess if he isn't there I'll take a closer and try to convert him to a starter or something... what a terrible spot to pick at #8 is.

tldr: Feel bad for me and let me trade up.

I took screenshots of the FA pool (that would include player's FA compensation type)... let me see if I still have them. If so, I'll compile a list of who signed them and help figure out what the order should be for ya.

Edit. Yeah, it is still in my work inbox... I'll try to get the list compiled over lunch.

?? Washington doesn't get Montreal's 2nd round pick. Montreal get's Washington's 1st round (John Neely) +S1

[wualumni]

Byung-Ryu Poc was a Type B free agent signed by Long Beach.


Jason Martin
GM - California Crusaders

I was suppose to get a 2nd rd comp for Pat Larkin, Jr as well.

MON was 63-99 last season - their first round selection is protected.

Byung-Ryu Poc was a Type B free agent signed by Long Beach.

You're right bud, my mistake. Byung-Ryu Poc and Silvio Masolino were next to each other on my SS - the latter was not a Type B and the former was... editing now.

[agrudez]

I screenshotted all 1.5 star OVR players in the FA pool and do not see Mr. Lark, Jr. - can you link me to his player page?

[JohnC]

Montreal didn't sign anyone. Your post says:

Washington receives Montreal's 2nd round selection (protected by standings) + #1 S1 pick

That is wrong. Montreal receives Washington's 1st + S1

Washington signed Neely from Montreal. So Montreal get's Washington's 1st + S1

Hah... touche, sorry about that.

[JohnC]

No worries.

[bigmike13]

Wow! I lose a type A free agent to the EBA and i get no compensation. That sucks!
