Yeah, I think I gave the Os the more full explanation:
Spent all my offseason money right at the start of the offseason. Was gone and not paying attention after that, didn't realize my AA and AAA teams were almost empty.
Sim right before ST starts: Oh shit, everyone left from my AA and AAA teams, better make a ton of MiL contract offers. Just sorted everyone by a star ranking, and started making a MiL offers to all the 3 star players, and a lot of the 2 stars before I stopped. I figured very few would actually sign, and I didn't have time to look through them, I was trying to get the offers in right before the sim happened.
Next day: Oh shit, they ALL signed. I have like 150 players in A ball.
I have only a couple of hours before leaving on my trip, don't have time to fix it now, but I don't want to leave all those older guys in A ball. People already blow a gasket when I make a legal contract. I better just throw everyone over 30 into AAA ball, over 25 into AA ball, everyone younger leave in A ball. Have AI set the teams, and I will fix it when I get back. Maybe no one will notice until then...I mean who really has the time to obsess over other teams minor leagues, surely no owners in the WBL are that pathetic...On my way home late last night: People posting "Oh shit, Wooly has way too many people in his minor leagues. Ban him, cut off his head." Calm down you bunch of histrionicals, I will get my minors fixed up before tomorrow's sim. Working late tonight, probably won't get to my PC until after the sim tonight.
I think that summarizes it.

Let me see if I'm following ur logic here. You spent all of ur money this offseason and even went through the process of getting more money by selling draft picks, didn't bother to look at ur minor system, decided to just offer contracts to everyone you could, didn't bother to trim them, and then think we'll buy the "I didn't have time to figure out who I wanted to keep"? Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.
In regards to ur question - I don't know, maybe teams that are looking for players to fill out their minors? I thought it was strange the number of eligible FA shrank before ST but never thought some numbnuts would offer MiLB contracts to anyone that would take them.

I've read ur sperging. Of course you don't think ur in the wrong. You never do!
And lol @ accidentally
You didnt need to sign any of them really.
doh

It's an accident to end up with 97 people on a AA team? Again A-level-- I understand. Players just go there. But AA?

I explained that in my previous post. I accidentally signed way too many players. I didn't have time to fix it before leaving on my trip, so I sorted them by age, let the AI do its thing, and saved it until I got home.
Why would I want 97 guys in AA? Do you think I would have 97 guys on purpose, for some strategic reason? What good does that do anyone?

Well, I was down to like 8 players. I had to fill those squads. I don't think it's unreasonable to sign a bunch of MiL contracts to fill out your older squads. I just didn't expect all of the offers to sign, I thought I would get something like 15 or 20.
You signed 100 and had like 297 players. I think you would have been ok.

To keep other teams from signing them? It does about the same amount of good as having a team with an average age of 31 in A ball.

I don't know how many A players I had to be honest. Most of them are just shitty late round picks of course, who should never leave A ball. I would have moved many of them up anyway, but I also wanted 15-20 guys with AA and AAA talent, to help round out those teams. I just never expected all of the offers to sign.

This makes no sense.
Next you're going to say teams with insane budgets selling draft picks for cash is in bad taste.

I just followed ur lead and offered MiLB contracts to every free agent. We're winning A, AA, and AAA shampionships this season babby.

Wow. You think I would do that? Do you think I was planning on hiding 97 guys in AA ball and no one notice at some point? Tin foil hat time.
That narrative about me having lots of 30 year olds in A ball was not even true in the first place, and it was at least 6 years ago anyway. Get a new false narrative. You can go fuck yourself too.

Ur in luck, my 2052 and 2059 WORLD SERIOUS CHAMPIONS rangs just showed up along with my Urban Meyer fleshlight. Might have to put on some PINKY IN ER PRIME and stroke away babby.
Wooly and Tony should just fight to the death.

What was the last season where there WASN'T some Wooly-related fiasco? Has there been one?
Just use the A filler until you get back then.

Fleshlight shaped like Urban Meyer. Hope nobody needed an OF or C, I just offered all of the FA OF and C a MiLB. Can the Miami org with the WBL, AAA, AA, and A shampionships this season? We're gonna give it a damn good try babby.

I never thought I'd say this but: I'm gonna need to see pictures of this Urban Meyer-shaped fleshlight
Wooly is either half retarded or is a genius and keeps finding ways that look like terrible decisions but are really some sort of insane advantage. He signed a bunch of shitty players, why is it such a huge deal? Just tell him to cut em down and then if he doesn't I'll do it.

Ask me when you need FA to fill our ur minors. Planning on rotating players every sim.
You're retarded? He signed them on march 1st you dingbat, fill them before that

It is becoming more and more irritating with each passing season that @Wooly tries to pull the wool over our collective eyes. I've been in the league for this 2nd tour since the beginning of the 2062 season. So going on month 9 and the start of a 6th season. This is now the 3rd such instance of minor league fraud. 1st 2 instances were players age. Which I thought would be taken care of in a timely matter, but he continues to not give 2 shits while flaunting it back. And now this? It's already bad enough to have one of the top 2 or 3 budgets in game (pushing 200M) asking for money in order to go sign IFA's. And now he signs another 100 players that weren't needed due to having already a bloated farm system. Maybe it's time to look for an owner who will color inside the lines?

Bring back @ZackMills
I actually believe this was an honest mistake. I mean of course it had to be wooly, but I don't think he thought they would all sign and then he didn't have time to clean up the mess completely other than mass moving people to levels based on age. He is going to make cuts and I doubt he does this again.
We aren't kicking owners out unless they do something malicious. Come on figs. I mean you should not be making those suggestions.

Then retract his team and one from the North (I'll volunteer as tribute) to bring the WBL back to it's original number. He has stepped over lines for far too long with seemingly no repercussions.
Do we start to take draft picks away? An entire draft if this keeps up? Or outright start deleting ML players for a 3rd offense? I know these are highly unlikely to pass, but I dunno what else to do.

Look, if you've played this game for any period in time you know that SOME BUM FAs will take a minor league deal when you offer them one. Someone as splerged out on this game as Wooly, the guy who sold draft picks to sign more IFAs despite having a top budget, assuming this is not the case is insane and a complete insult to the intelligence of Terri Schiavo. What he did was offer EVERYONE that would take one a MiLB deal so he didn't have to look through them and make a decision right then and there just in case there was someone good available he didn't want to miss. Surely you can see why that's a fuckstick thing to do, right?
The multiple seasons of having guys that were at worst AAAA level down in A to set HR records and win shampionships was bullshit but nobody seemed to be too heated about that other than me and Karl. Him signing anyone that would take a MiLB deal so he could separate the corn from the turd at a later date is just more of the fuckstick shit that clown does. By all means let's just chalk this up to more of the "Wooly being Wooly" that we're all used to and move on like he did nothing wrong.
