2046-47 Hot Stove (CUT ROSTERS DOWN TO 25)

[osick87]

Still have lots of pitching.

So does the free agent market.

 

[Orlando]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

 

[OU11]

Don't imagine Orlando's pitching

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Still have lots of pitching.

Inions for Campbell straight up

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Good lord, just saw the contract extension Silky signed.

He'll be getting $24M when he's 40 years old, and then another player option for $24M when he's 41. That's a bold contract.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I wish he would've gone to FA so i could've paid him $30m

 

[Orlando]

Player options are mind bottling

 

[OU11]

I accidentally gave dino a PO

 

[Yankee151]

Someone fleece me for my next two 1sts and Lips

 

[NML]

What do you want?

 

[Schauwn]

Someone fleece me for my next two 1sts and Lips

Will give you my 3-1 this year

 

[Yankee151]

What do you want?

Wbl or wbl ready bat or arm

 

[OU11]

Someone fleece me for my next two 1sts and Lips

I want lips, give someone else ur firsts

 

[NML]

Wbl or wbl ready bat or arm

Just any one?

 

[Yankee151]

make an offer OU

A really good one, I preferably want to get younger at one position in exchange for Lips (or Millburn)

3rd round pick

 

[doh]

Will we get a new player development report on the next sim? First of every month, right?

Excited for the off-season - I was hoping Keyworth didn't get resigned by @fignuts to see what he'd get on the open market, but my lawd his $24m a year until he's 41. Assuming he doesn't fall off a cliff, I like it, but I always worry with big contracts for pitchers. Dr. Sad got a big contract but I covered my ass with two team options, so he'll walk next season unless he picks it back up again.

I likely won't be a big buyer, just a couple small targets, but I'm interested in watching what Ugly goes for. He's Australian, so I may have a go if the price stays low enough.

Keyworth will be interesting to watch. He's VH Intel and H WE but he's also 'wrecked' and saw his Ks diminish last year. Seems like that's the #1 sign of decline in the game. 5/120 is a giant contract.

Also interesting Cairo signed Rivera 3/21 ... Rivera got about 7m combined last four off-seasons in one-year deals and I was always wondering when someone would lock him up with the lack of great 3Bs.

 

[Yankee151]

okay now make a serious offer

 

[OU11]

okay now make a serious offer

2nd round pick

 

[Yankee151]

i dont want picks though

 

[OU11]

i dont want picks though

3rd round pick

 

[Yankee151]

No I mean I do not want picks

 

[OU11]

No I mean I do not want picks

So 4th round pick will do, write it up

 

[osick87]

If you have any questions about your team or another in the Offseason you'd like my opinion on, ask it here and I will make an Ask Osick video tomorrow night.

Here= the Osick WBL Projects thread

 

[osick87]

Any interest in Charles out there?

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Any interest in Charles out there?

Si por favor

 

[osick87]

Gomez
Parker Gordon
Your 3rd

For

Charles
Din Kardal
my 5th

That's my initial asking price. Always willing to listen to counters and am fine with getting told it's too much. As long as you tell me your feelings toward the deal, I can try and adjust accordingly but would really like Gomez and Gordon.

 

[osick87]

Throw in Rivera and Hinchcliffe and I will add my 3rd and Gerard Martin

 

[Wolfman21]

@osick87 lookin for that blue blanket

 

[osick87]

Always willing to negotiate. I don't think the first trade offer would be too hard to negotiate off of.

 

[osick87]

I'm also the guy giving up the for sure thing at a great price for uncertain prospects. Charles ' biggest drawback is his deal is up after this season.

 

[Wolfman21]

whew, missed the export yesterday. Luckily, it didn't hurt me.

 

[NML]

These sims move soooooo slowwwwww. You could miss three, make big offers, and get all ur targets

 

[Wolfman21]

true

 

[OU11]

These sims move soooooo slowwwwww. You could miss three, make big offers, and get all ur targets

There is a reason for that though. One more day and some would sign on the first sim if offered enough over demand. This allows no gaming of the system until everyone has had a fair shot

 

[doh]

Asked this before but I think I'm going with a 11 man pitching staff (5 SP). Anyone else with experience/tips on this?

 

[osick87]

I would imagine just grabbing RPs with better stamina would help. I can make this part of the @OU11 3 man staff theory craft video.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Ive ran a 6-man pen the past two to three years. Will do so again this year.

Get good relievers with solid stamina.

Was doing:

CL
SU
MR
MR
MR
MR

will be doing the Cairo/Amsterdam CL/No role setup this year with a 6-man bullpen.

 

[doh]

Yeah I've been going

CL
SU8
MR
MR
MR
LR
LHS

In that set up, the MRs don't pitch a ton so I figure I could get away with six instead. Plus my SPs usually go deepish into games.

 

[NML]

I posted on it previously, although I alternate between a 4 and 5 man rotation.

 

[osick87]

Since you got a CF @doh, does this mean Sergio for McHeshi is a go?

 

[Yankee151]

Lips no longer for sale putos

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Istanbul trying to sabatoge their ship hopes for 2047.

 

[Yankee151]

My team wont make the playoffs next year, we have zero good relievers

 

[Lloyd Carr]

osick will tell you who to get in his video.

 

[osick87]

Saved me the trouble of looking for the Ottomans' Needs.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Part of me wants to try and repeat with the team as is (released a MR and brought up a new one, but otherwise the same), but another part of me wants to move DLS and let Frank and Zaki take over at 1B.

Hmmmm, not sure what to do.

 

[doh]

Nah McHeshi is still my 3B.

 

[osick87]

Nah McHeshi is still my 3B.

It'll be interesting how this affects his value WAR wise.

 

[osick87]

@Wendell Gee are you still poor?
