My second closer blew out his arm. THIS ISN'T NORMAL

Normal is for the weak.

Where were you when my 3-4-5 hitters were all out for multiple months and my BLUE BLANKET #2 starter was out for the rest of his career?

1st place in the NL is going to be huge. Definitely don't want to face Las Vegas or Helsinborg in the first round and having home field advantage when/if I do will be just a big. Should be a fun last month+ of the season.

Don't know, guess I should draft some and/or fire the AI
I just started playing again. I'm hoping we make up some ground.

Yeah I was trying to make a deal to increase my chances of finishing first because I think it matters this year but just couldn't get anything done.
IMO it's a three horse race with the odds 40-40-20 currently. But sim by sim those odds are fluctuating big time.

Looking over schedules (which IMO is huge):
MOS with 16 home/22 away. Just 6 left total with AMS/IST. All 6 vs. LV/MOS on the road. UK is SL opponent left.
LV with 23 home/13 away. 7 left with AMS and only 6 vs. LV/MOS. Have BA/LR as SL opponents.
HEL with 19 home/20 away. 7 left with IST and 8 left with AMS helps a ton plus just 6 vs. LV/MOS (all at home). BUF SL opponent.
So Moscow by far the toughest schedule left. I think close between LV/HEL but having all six at home vs. the top two could help make up ground.

Yeah. The addition of 2 arms in their primes should be a nice boon. Locking up one of em (Eastham) along with J-C Kim on team friendly deals over next 5 seasons is an added bonus, as well. Fortunate to have a nice talent base thanks to @Rutgers Mike spending in IFA his last few years. (Khong/Piccoli + few young guys just breaking in now)

Wasn't @Wolfman21 just killing @fignuts for taking trog bat with 1-1 last year?
Looks like Frittata is killing it.

Do we have to wait for arb to sign extensions anymore?

no, but if they haven't gone to arb, max extension is 5 years.

Damn I'm still new I guess I'll keep my eye posted for more 6.5 WAR guys that are young and controllable this off-season, my bad.
lol, that's not the point. I'm sure there will be a first base bat that will put up 30 homers and play solid defense on the market this offseason. But there won't be a great defense/good bat combo player or a top of the rotation arm available that you should be taking at #1. I have gotten dudes that are similar to him just without the eye in Baur and Zuydam in the teens of the last two drafts.

But you state the second part like any of the other players are guaranteed to perform if you draft said player. Of course there could be better, but you can't just simply state that like it's a known fact when he has a player that's performing currently (and quite well) which isn't the draft mostly about trying to minimize your risks between what a player's potential is and the likelihood of him reaching it?
Acting like there's a known GOAT at #1 and accepting that as truth needs to be taken with as much of truth as my statement that potentially there wasn't a better player in that draft class and the player taken there was the correct choice.

I do not, however, remember who was in that draft...so he very well could have been the best thing available
2nd pick was by FB. Took SP bin-Alihhy or something. Waffled on him cause of a previous arm injury. Suffered another lengthy injury following season. Glad to have taken the trog bat of Ferrreira.
Gave up C. Thisteton to Lisbon (was lambasted by wolf for the trade) and he still hasn't added to the changeup. Looking like a pen arm so far...

id much rather have bahiyy al-din. Top of the rotation arm > first baseman all day
I think Inonu won like 4 world series in a row because teams that are good would just sign him to a 1 year deal in the offseason and then go on and win a championship.
But hey, you guys keep drafting first basemen and DH's at the top of the 1st. That's fine with me. More useful talent drops down to where i'll be picking (if my team is healthy)

Fernandez has led Varsity in HRs the last three years with 39, 42, 39. Elite power is pretty scarce in the game currently. I get the value of FA vs. taking a guy 1-1 but it's not like power grows on trees currently.
I like picking the guy you know is a total bad ass with the bat and can be for the next 10 years.

In the draft it's always about getting the most value possible, with some consideration for your needs. Usually that means a middle fielder who might hit or a quality pitcher. However, elite hitters are also scarce and have value. There is nothing wrong with using a high draft pick to get an elite hitter who can't play anything but DH or 1B, if the hitting value is high enough to make up for the glove or what is available in FA each year.
As always, it depends.

Kinda nice to have the second best 1B in the NL on minimum though.
I mean its nice, just seems like a luxury at 1st overall. I like the player a ton, hes a great player, obviously. I just see more value in taking an elite pitcher or position player. If neither of those were available, I'd say it was a fine pick. Theres a 70/60/60 pitcher that could have been taken which I, personally, would have taken over him. But I mean, hes got a guy putting up 7 WAR, so...its working out for him.
That pitcher had a lot of question marks. I questioned the pick more because figs took Kim the year before who is similarly weak in the field. I took Cuellar in the early first. Not regretting that one bit.

Am pretty amazed at how good of a defender Ferrreira is, to tell ya the truth. The ratings suggest he is fairly lackluster in the field, but so far so good. Plus my scout is of the belief he will continue to improve with his eye and contact. Even with the low work ethic.
Pary to the indy devs he doesn't succumb to a leg or foot injury. Would be forced to choose who to DH tween him and JC Kim.
