Who cares. Blast through this and get to the offseason.
Hell no babby, all I want is to watch this SL 1-4 matchup before my heart explodes.

Fortunately, I did! Might have to resort to the "findmysub" app in order to geolocate, though. Sorry bout that.Did you fill the tank up at least?
Ticket prices are an easy way to fix budgets.
Well our top ticket prices are north of $50.To a certain extent, yes. I change mine pretty much every sim so I'll get the max out of the fan base but there's only so much it can increase.
I'll make this point again that just because something isn't realistic doesn't mean its bad. Pro sports leagues don't get everything right. I don't understand why front loaded deals dont happen often IRL. It really is bizarre. The only thing I found in a quick search was a Cardinal deal with Peralta.If we have to sacrifice options to get rid of this fluctuation faggotry, then I'm all for it.
Fluctuating and decreasing contracts are completely unrealistic. Can anyone find a modern day example of those? Granted I do not follow the entire MLB closely so I suppose it's possible, but I don't hear about it.
Meanwhile, options are something you see all the time. Double TOs are really popular too, especially on young players. I think the White Sox signed like five straight guys through their arbitration with an additional two TOs at the end.

I find options to be cheap in a game where players dont really make any choices except for the odd guy who wont even negotiate. Double options are just borderline dont be an ass rule stuff to me, but Ive conceded that in more recent versions of the game where players actually seem to take options into account when negotiating.
Or maybe a contract can only go one direction? Either front loaded or increasing.
Flat years don't count either way.
So you could do $10m, $8m, $6m or the other way - but not $8m, $6m, $10m
i forgot tony is an INSIDERThe MLBPA isn't big on the front loaded contracts for a number of reasons, at least that I've heard from players and teams. One of the reasons is it doesn't really help the team out since they could invest the future money and offset inflation with interest. Another I've heard is that they can sometime negotiate with the player on those later years. The Barves tried that with Dan Uggla and had to just release him instead.

It is really just player ego.
My counter.In addition, I'll mention again that we should do house rules on age limits in the minors.
My suggestions would be:
A - 24 (there are players who were drafted this year that will be 24)
AA - 26
AAA - don't really care. It is AAA. I sign vets to minor league deals for depth (never 100 though ) and I don't see a reason to limit it with the stipulation that we try to keep rosters at 35.
No penalty, I'll just check the filter and move players up a level when they age out.
I just don't understand why a 24 year old needs to play in A-ball. If he hasn't developed enough by 23, he isn't going to. And if you really think he will, bump him to AA and roll the dice.
Possibly, but who knows. I'm just saying there are 24 year olds drafted and not allowing GMs to start them in A isn't the best solution. There are 24 year olds in the draft pool every year. They might be 25 by the time season starts.I just don't understand why a 24 year old needs to play in A-ball. If he hasn't developed enough by 23, he isn't going to.

If they're fresh out of college though? I know what you mean but I'd rather err on the side of leniency cuz inevitably i'll draft some guy who had TJS and break the rules by playing him in A at 24 since he missed a year
Thats cool. I have some that go right to WBL. My point is we shouldnt force everyone to play a certain way and some people dont want to go from draft to with all their players AA I imagine. I think its a fair compromise. It also cuts having to worry about birthdays or whatever. At any given time I check that filter and if a player is there they get moved. I'll check it opening day too.FWIW my early drafted college guys tend to go right to AA

I dunno names man. I've seen 10+ 24 year olds in years past. I dont know if they were frst round talent. If they arent, why does it matter? I just think 24 is a fair number and will keep the average around 22 I assume.Who? I went through the first couple rounds and didn't see anyone who was older than 21.
Which means they are 22 by the start of next season - one year in A ball should be enough, but if you set it at 23 that gives them two years there before they have to be promoted.
And if a player is older, it's not like you have to cut them and lose the player. You just move them to AA
