2053 Offseason Thread

[Orlando]

I think there is some glitch if you release them they show up again after arb hearings.

 

[Yankee151]

I honestly can't remember if I released them or just wrote zero or withdrew or what I did. It's cool though, Roman is gone with the hunger games so I just have this loathsome creature for a year.

 

[Wolfman21]

So question:

Are we going to spring training tonight or will we do a 3 day sim tonight and a 2 day sim tomorrow to get to spring training?

 

[Travis7401]

Trade cicio back to me, same terms!

You tell us, owolf

 

[Wolfman21]

You tell us, owolf

i've been de-commish-ioned. I thought ST would start on the 1st which is what my original timeline was based off of. Since it doesn't start til the 3rd I propose a 5 day sim tonight to take us into ST tomorrow. But, just my proposal.

 

[Wolfman21]

btw, holy shit how am I just noticing that Kasib basically died this offseason

 

[Orlando]

His stuff dropped. Saying he died is an over reaction.

I'll go 3 days today and then half way through ST tomorrow.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Dumb question - but how do we go through ST when we're still negotiating with some of these FA bums?

 

[Wolfman21]

his stuff dropped 10 points and his movement dropped 5. Sinker dropped 5, curveball dropped 10, changeup dropped 15, splitter dropped 10 and knuckle curve dropped 5. Saying he died is obviously an overreaction, but to just say "meh, his stuff dropped" is an equally under-reaction.

 

[Orlando]

You put your best offer in and hope they sign with you. They can play the second half of ST.

I don't think it's an under-reaction. I'd probably argue he is still the best pitcher, but we will see. Interesting it happened to him before Naka when Naka is fragile. Kasib has thrown a ton of innings though.

 

[Wolfman21]

yea, i'll be interested in seeing his results this season.

 

[Orlando]

Offseason is winding down. Anyone want to add a bat or arm?

[Travis7401]

Yeah, Kasib is dead, RIP... you should just give him to me for free @osick87 for the salary relief

Get your best offers in before the big sim. If you don't get him, just act like your SIM didn't take.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

So, Boys started a game as the Catcher last year (played 10 innings). He also started a game as Shortstop (played 9 innings) last year. And came in as the Left Fielder as a sub (played 6 innings). And in 2051 he played 0.2 innings as the Right Fielder.

wat? @Wendell Gee

 

[Wolfman21]

$50 Million utility player. Lawd

 

[Wolfman21]

Really excited for the next couple seasons. Will prolly have my most well rounded squads I've had since I joined.

The man is a Kiene competitor.

 

[ZackMills]

How many of these 16 IFA SP I signed will see WBL time?

 

[Wolfman21]

If you're lucky, and 25%. More than likely, 2-3

 

[Travis7401]

I got a message where a player asked me for more money because the "riggers offered him a better deal." Then his requested offer was exactly what I just offered

 

[Travis7401]

So just to be clear, next sim will be the start of spring training? I want to call some players up to the ST roster without placing them on the 40 man and that doesn't seem to be an option yet because ST does't start for 2 days.

 

[Travis7401]

Excited to have signed REX ROWE to a 1 year contract because why not! He should return around the all star break and provide my some LEADERSHIP! If he doesn't provide the right leadership at the WBL level, he will provide it for the Waco Satanic Goats!

Yup. My only problem with doing it this way. I've had to wait for the 2nd ST sim the last few years to make my non roster invitees

 

[Karl Hungus]

Aw, shit. I just brought guys up for spring training.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Can we please get these FA bums to hurry up and take somebody's money so we can finish setting lineups? Plz?

 

[Wolfman21]

Lol, I can tell this is your first offseason. The next sim will be 2+ weeks. Most of the FAs will make their decisions in this sim

 

[jdlikewhoa]

IFA is the worst. Fuck you all. Especially Tony

 

[Orlando]

I can sim to the start of ST now and then sim again later. I forgot about the roster thing, although you assholes always mess that up anyway.

 

[Orlando]

I'll give 30 mins for someone to object.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Way to fuck things up @Orlando.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Sure, why not? I object.

 

[Orlando]

Ok we will just go half way through tonight then.

 

[Travis7401]

NOOOOO I wanna get my youngins full spring training reps! Sim to the 1st day and let us non-mongs set ST rosters! Don't capitulate to mongs who can't figure out the difference between ST roster and 40 man!

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I'm kidding, I don't object at all. MOAR SIMS!

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Sim halfway now and then sim the rest at 11. Do it. Do it.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Sim halfway now and then sim the rest at 11. Do it. Do it.

It's only ST. Fuck everyone. It doesn't matter

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Don't forget to turn injuries off!

 

[NML]

@Orlando could you take those guys off my 40-man when you sim tonight? Let me know if you need their names again

 

[Orlando]

Can you figure it out in a few days? That's the real question.

 

[Orlando]

@Orlando could you take those guys off my 40-man when you sim tonight? Let me know if you need their names again

There wasn't a way to do it. You might have to DFA them. I changed them to minor league deals, but the 40-man I couldn't change.

@OU11 do you know if it's possible?

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Fuck everyone.

 

[Travis7401]

You dummies who can't figure out the difference between the 40 man roster and the spring training roster (only accessible once spring training starts) are ruining this league!

Once spring training starts you go to ROSTER AND TRANSACTIONS and use the pulldown menu to select SPRING TRAINING ROSTER. This is different from the 40 man roster and allows you to call up players for spring training without putting them on the 40 man roster. It is really useful for position development.

 

[bruin228]

I put guys on my 40 man, wat should I do

 

[Travis7401]

Kill yourself.

 

[bruin228]

Okay, hold on

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Commish takes the blame on this one

 

[Orlando]

I just set it up so I wouldn't have to fix your mistakes later this time. No blame.
