My old team has good hitting and is perfect for Colorado but the pitching is a bit of a problem. Two seasons removed from a WS appearance though!

My advanced isn't good, but here's what my intl scouts see:



If he hits those numbers, he'll be not all that different from Edgmer Roque. It's a big if, though, and he's got some STA/DUR work to do to keep from being a pain in the rear end to manage.

I present to you, the season 33 Royal Kilted Yaksmen



Doc Brignac will be promoted after 20 games and will basically be a super utility player. I'm expecting big things from this offense. Hopefully Weinhardt won't be completely snubbed in the MVP race like last season.



This pitching staff is the stuff that legends are made of. I'm obviously not competing this year, otherwise i'd bring up Braulio Canseco. Elrod Biddle will be brought up after 20.

No idea why they don't do auto votes for non voters like MVP or just have it be a percent of people who vote. All they have to add is a box to check that you purposely votes for no one.

Thanks, I've been in on all three of those solid looking IFA pitchers, so it was nice to get one of them. Surprisingly close to his projections for an 18 year old.

Anyone have a more realistic projection for the guy I got? My monkey scouts saw 95/100 splits and even though I know that's not right I had to throw money at him. His current ratings are decent for an 18 year old at least.

My pitching has given up the least amount of earned runs by far. This is sustainable.

Also Terrence Weinhardt hasn't hit a dinger yet. What a bust. Trade the bum.

I was hoping my old-rear end team could be the Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp of Dimaggio, coming back and capturing the spirit of them at peak form. So far it's looking like Salem's the Clerks 2 of Dimaggio.

when's the "super 2" date for the extra year of arb in this league? 20 games?

It's just 6 games, but minor league assignments must be 20+ games to not count as major league service. If you're holding kids to reset their arb clock, that means you can promote them Sunday morning.

I hate to be That Guy but Bolton should be among your call-ups. He was basically ML-ready from the day he was drafted and he'd be arguably your best SP out of the gate

I've got a player with a 59 baserunning rating that seemingly runs every single time he's on base, is there something I can do to get him to stop?

saintonan
Dec 7, 2009

Fields of glory shine eternal

Not for that guy specifically, no. You can only control aggressiveness on a team level. If you set your entire team to run less, so will that guy.

If you try to set up a running team, you need to make sure all the guys with high speed also have high baserunning. Speed determines how often a player will be aggressive (base stealing, taking an extra base, etc.), and baserunning determines how successful the guy will be when taking these actions.

I like to imagine whenever I see guys with 90 speed and like 30 baserunning that they start their steal attempt by doing a cartwheel or running backward

Henderson Ross has been on base all of like 10 times and he's attempted to steal more bases then all but one player on my team. There's nothing I could have set that would make him do it?

There is a team steal setting, but individual steal settings do not exist in HBD.

To change team setting is in Managers Office -> Manager Settings -> Edit Manager Settings.

Ross won't sustain a .391 OBP, so this problem might resolve itself naturally.
