I assumed you calculated $170M in revenue based on him making $170M in revenue
What families? This shit is fake yo. Don't be nice to a bunch of pretend yokels in Buffalo.

Wait, so I'm not managing a real baseball team?
I should probably take this off my resume then, huh?
It's like you can't multitask

Sorry was thinking profit/revenue at the same time and went with the wrong thing. I can't multitask either. Point stands that he only needs to worry a little if he keeps Rapely, unless you have some knowledge of a hidden death penalty for things like this
Yeah I am really looking at worst case scenario here. If he keeps them, but his team sucks, attendance could drop and hurt him. It can take two seasons or more for attendance to bounce back. If he trades them he saves in payroll, but again the team could suck and attendance could drop. Like I said, I am excited to see how this plays out. I am pretty much on the same page that he should be ok, but it could be fun to watch if it implodes a little. Especially if Bug sucks
I hope it all works out for JD doe. I just like seeing how all this shit shakes out because we haven't seen it before.
Nah b. That one was on you.
I really only care to see how Bug progresses. Money situation isn't that exciting. @jdlikewhoa put him in A this year
Sorry, I need to know who I'm quoting more often and tailor the post for that person. Thought you could pick it up via context
quit it. You normally own your mistakes.

If Bug is a bust...lawd.
Same risk as Razor IMO.

This off-season flew by. I cant believe its almost time for ST.
And we're still only in the 5th round of the draft. Will we finish it before the next off-season?

I think we have 5 days to finish, the last 7 rounds usually take 15 minutes.

I think Razor is probably the bigger risk, just due to what OU gave up for the pick (and because I think there is more room for failure with Razor).
Bug would be the bigger upset though if he busts. I think Razor will be fine, but there is a lot of room for struggle. Bug may not live up to his OSA potential, but if he turns into a Dani Gonzales, Id be surprised.
Although I am hoping Dani gets his head out of his ass this year.
I agree that OU gave up more since players >>>>> money everytime. I see the exact same bust risk though. If Bug busts, he'd be a hell of a lot worse than Dani Gonzales.
Razor is probably the biggest risk I've ever taken. He will also be the biggest reward I'll have ever received from a gamble though if OSA is right.
I see bug as a minor risk given my propensity to gamble, it is a bet on not having a bunch of injuries this year. Plus even if my scout is right and OSA isn't, Bug is an every day DH.

I dont have OOTP in front of me and I cant see him on the website, but I thought Bug had the skillset required to be a decent infielder.
Ill have to check in the morning though.

I think that will improve, especially given his intangibles. Ive seen guys get boosts in their defensive abilities, so with his very high intelligence and work ethic, I think he's got the right stuff to see improvement.
IF ratings rarely improve, which kind of sucks. They do sometimes with the young guys though, maybe he'll pop somewhere. He's a 1B/DH IMO. I think Quale's scout is about how mine is on Razor. I had 40% dumped into international scouting and John thought Bug was only slightly worse than OSA. I had like 4% in amateur scouting and he thought Razor was the next perennial AA all star.
Side note, I looked at that guy you keep saying is better than Bug @Orlando. That is pretty much the prototypical guy I look for with the rating matches we've talked about. He gon' be good and I don't think that contact will stay where it is now.

Dont quote me, as I might be mistaken, but I think I saw Besim Inonu get some IF rating boosts this year in A-ball.

Is that really his face? If so, I see why he got his nickname.
Imgur, your photobucket lanks are always broke. Just make an account on imgur and there is a big upload button at the top center. Super easy to use and I think there is unlimited space.
Young guys can do that, we'll see. Unless they changed it in 15 I thought it was pretty rare.

Yea, I saw you offered them so I just threw a couple million on top to make sure I got em. I really wanted basket case from the beginning...alost more than bug
As did I. Nice pick ups. I got one of the other pitchers I wanted though, so I am happy with him and Cupit.

I have the most in international as well. Pretty sure all our scouts are tards. Improved IF ratings are pretty rare, but I think OSA was a little more kind. He could jump to there. He isnt going to hit 65+ anywhere though.
Word on Cupit. I think I got him at a steal at $5M, especially when Kodak went for $15M LAWD. We have talked about it before and I target similar players when I can. I really like the kid and I am hoping he can learn to play some 1B/3B as well. If not he will be a solid corner OF.
With all the money being thrown at bug, I thought it would be smarter to grab multiple guys that could be contributors for cheaper than risk my future for one dude
Am looking to get Kodak some time at 1B and 3B as well. You did get a steal with cupit at 5.

I was so focused on bug I could've cut my bid for him by $10-15m and still picked up a few other guys. Too much tunnel vision on my part and I haven't checked the game other than Bug

P.s. - who wants Rapely? Not set on getting rid of him though and I won't be fleeced.
hindsight is 20-20. You could have done that, but you would have risked your ass with me and Lloyd. Ends up we didn't bid on him, so you overpaid. But we could have bid on him and you couldnt have gotten him. Its a risk Lloyd and I didn't want to take...overpaying him that is.
