2041 WBL Season Thread

[Lloyd Carr]

I've already gone ahead and done a lot of offseason stuff (releasing guys I don't plan on retaining). Should I have waited for the playoffs to have ended before making those changes? I just noticed the player payroll is a lot less than what it was, so I am assuming that will influence how much money my owner gives me for 2043. So that kind of sucks if I screwed that all up.

 

[OU11]

file is up @Gooksta.

 

[Gooksta]

ready to fire it up! raised it to 35.5

[OU11]

[Wolfman21]

Ruiz....ah geeze

 

[Wolfman21]

[OU11]

dammit vis isn't hurt anymore. Should've got him into the lineup

 

[Wolfman21]

whoa, clutch triple by gutierrez!

 

[Wolfman21]

I don't really realize how good Amsterdam's lineup is until I see it in this live sim way. Alonzo, Salazar, Ruiz, Ammar, Seguin...i mean come on

 

[fignuts]

I gave him Ammar.

 

[OU11]

Seguin is alright, nothing special. The rest are great tho, except Ruiz against lefties

 

[OU11]

Lol at that sequence. guys behind Faz were held up by his slow ass so they couldn't get around the bases

 

[Gooksta]

Go

 

[OU11]

[Lloyd Carr]

[Gooksta]

I fell asleep by accident. What's the update?

AmsterDAM up 3 games to 2 - game six tomorrow

 

[Lloyd Carr]

So there's still hope? Hopefully Key West pulls it together tomorrow.

Back to sleep for me now.

 

[Gooksta]

Did you release anyone who wasn't a minimum guy?

Also the Perez guy you released looks like he could've made a solid RP.

I released a few guys whose contracts were up, who were past minimum/arbitration.

And I tried Dizzy at RP, but he gave up a lot of ER even as an RP. Decided to just cut ties with him.

 

[OU11]

I have to release a few minimum guys coming up but they are playing in the series due to injuries at the moment. After it is over they will be taken care of.

I know you south peasants are rooting for KW to win, but if they do it will drastically alter my off-season plans and I pray for your simulation teams next year. There will be no weakness if KW wins. We will win 130 games

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Can we vote Amsterdam off the island?

 

[Orlando]

I have released everyone I didn't want to keep around before the season officially ended in the past. The payroll number dropping means nothing because the expense is already accounted for.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Okay, good deal. I was a little worried because my payroll dropped like $20mil after I released those guys.

 

[OU11]

Okay, good deal. I was a little worried because my payroll dropped like $20mil after I released those guys.

As long as there were no multi year deals youre good

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Nah, everyone was a going to be a FA that I had no interest in bringing back.

Holden, Oort, Sanchez. Those kind of guys.

 

[OU11]

Then you're learning faster than i did. Took me 7 years to figure out i needed to release my minimum guys

 

[Lloyd Carr]

If youre old and you suck, Ill just use someone who is young and sucks. Maybe the young guy will get better.

 

[OU11]

If youre old and you suck, Ill just use someone who is young and sucks. Maybe the young guy will get better.

This is my new motto for minors. My teams will do worse but there won't be 33 year olds blocking young crappy players anymore. Some of the young guys are only 5/10 points away in a category from being decent backups. I need a new Zas at some point.
