You mean a lot of BUMS. Not all of us can have our IFAs hit and sign for cheap...

That's okay, the league is broken thanks to wooly, why pretend anymore?

I'm slowly considering making the #FAIR_AND_BALANCED league my main league now. This isn't fun anymore.

The guy that hasn't even won a shamship has somehow ruined the league by being too good.
Utopia logic at work.

No numbnuts he's ruined the league being a habitual line stepper, shady contract giver, putting AAAA guys in A to help his prospect develop, and never once admitting he's wrong.

Except that he hasn't ruined anything. And even if it wasn't Wooly, you'll would find something else to bitch and moan about. There is nothing wrong with the league.

No way, was I bitching when things were more fair? No.

We went 3-4 and moved up to 5th in the power rankings with a ++. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would've loved to see Tony Montana deal with the league when Amsterdam won 5 straight ships.
But in all seriousness, I think the AAAA players in A ball might have been a secret sauce to having a bunch of scrubs become 5* machine pitchers.

@Reel was in the league at the time, right? The thing that's most irritating about our faux aspie cheater is his inability to actually win a ship. In my #fair_and_balanced league we have a mod that's been caught cheating but at least he had four ships in six years to show for it.
Which is a direct result of the AAAA guys being in A helping win games for them, especially the pitchers. If the "morale" didn't matter in development losing (or winning) wouldn't have any impact in how guys go from the fringe to FIVE STARZ STUDZ. Clearly something has caused his miraculous success rate with prospects and it has nothing to do with luck.

It's dumb luck he hasn't won a shampship.
The alternating contract years so he can suck up all the IFAs just kills it for me, sorry.
what dis got to do with me tho?
TonyGin&Juice

Selling draft picks to buy more IFAs when you have the highest budget doesn't help. @doh has done that before but he was always ruthless with the contracts and didn't fuckstick it up by handing out slave wage alternating contracts to GOATS because the game engine is broken.

and i would've gotten away with it, if it werent for you meddling kids and your dumb cow
Riggers going 3-13 in the last two sims hurt my soul. All those triangles returning home.
Can they go somewhere if they didn't exist?Wonder where all those people ragging on Requero's 30M signing bonus went

If you have the money to sign them without resorting to fuckstick nonsense I don't have any problem with paying IFAs $20M+. ShookWolf signed a guy last year for, I think, $21M that's going to be lucky to make it to AA if his power doesn't develop. Besides, wasn't the Requero signing right before Beefalo went down the shitter in terms of budget and winning? Had I had any sense I wouldn't have extended these bums when I was on the $180M budget tip and bought some of those players like you guys did.
Signing that guy was stupid. I should have known hed be shit

Eh, if he hits his power potential he's going to be at least as good as Eastick (i.e. a 30 WAR player). Certainly was one of the better guys to go big on in that IFA class.
Hes not goin to. Hes gonna end up being a 21 year old cut in A ball.
TonyGin&Juice

Maybe 30 WAR was too optimistic for ol' Eastick, maybe 20 is more appropriate.
Same answer
doh
THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
It's more like 300% when you look at his insane pitching staff:
Lucatoni -- $1.4m IFA
Hayne -- $650k IFA
Ramirez -- $350k IFA
Not to mention the $2+m guys all hitting. I've had tons and tons of guys just flame out.
So 3/5 of the best rotation the game has ever seen for nothing in the current climate of IFA. Maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe it's extreme luck. Maybe it's having all of those players play on .800 win% minor league teams that help devo.
TonyGin&Juice

You can't be serious.
doh
THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
If you come from the perspective that players mostly flame out or burst at the A-level, then yes it matters a lot.
Once a guy has played in A-ball, you can normally ID if they're going to be good or bad way easier than before A.

Don't worry! UK will be loaded with AAAA through out their minor leagues starting next season - and their progress will be tracked in the rebuild thread.

I would like you to stop Wooly from ruining the league by violating the DON'T BE AN ASS rule constantly.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Have any other teams been as dominant as his? No one is close to consistently that good.
Last 10 years: 5x 1st place, 2x 2nd place by 1 game and the other 3 within 5 games of title. Worst Win % .560.
Everywhere else you have a lot of variance at A depending on quality of prospects. Last year they had a .800 win % which is insane for any minors team.
