S30 Charlotte Goyim: This is my year! I hope all the new veterans don't get into fights with my young ones. C: Vinny Stewart - I had Bruce Shaw twice, both times for like 2 seconds. I will take the old bat with the way my team is built right now. 1B: McKay Ray - Welcome to the team, Harding will be missed but at least McKay won't suck even if you are loving expensive. 2B: Brian Burnett - Old and expensive, but at least he can hit. 3B: Michael Chang - The last part of my young callups, power uber alles. SS: Ruben Gonzalez - Other last part of my young callups. Right side of a fun SS Platoon! LF: Vic Batista - Welcome to the team veteran slugger, please make Jeff regret trading you. CF: Vin Santana -Welcome to the team veteran slugger, please make Jeff regret trading you. RF: Nolan Rigby -Welcome back beloved prospect, I always loved you. DH: Julian Castro -Young and Awesome  Bench: C/DH Joshua Peterson - Speaking of Rule 5 gently caress ups, thanks Art! Anywhere but SS/CF Olmedo Quentin - Good D and bat as my first man in from the bench. SS Pl Randy Nixon - Other side of my platoon with Gonzalez. UT Randall Nielsen - Defense bench player guy, wont hit but can field anywhere. SP Dick Evans - How I love thee let me count the ways. SP Moose Sellers - Welcome to the team, I am happy to have saved you from Art's sinking ship. SP Bud McDonald - Solid number 3 SP Ignacio Diaz - The veteran of the staff and very solid. SP Tomas Matos - Very solid number 5. Bullpen: Johnny Simpson - Getting old and declining a little but he will still be a stud setup a. Benito Torres - Very solid. Marty Jordan - If he does not explode, he will be a solid arm in my pen. Sick Collins - Cool dude who did not pitch last year, thanks Sparky. Jamie Epstein - Cool dude who did not pitch last year, thanks Sparky. Lou Cash - Swing man, SP insurance. Not sure who will be my 25th man. Need to figure that out. Some all D guy probably. I made major moves this year moving Hanson  for a boat load of veterans. Moved two young 1B in Harding and Weinhardt for Moose,McKay,Jordan. My goal was to make the most of the 4 years I have McDonald for and 5 years I have Moose for. I think I am set to do that.I also have Omar Valdes coming soonish, unless I move him for something. My brain is stuck on that one. Not sure if this team is better than any of my awesome teams of yesterday but it is a loving awesome team.

AV you could not send anything to the new owner but a bad 1B for a quality SP? I know neither are great talents but that trade is hardly fair.I wish we could treat our new owners with some more respsect and not try to steal talent.

But even if that is what he sent, you should help coach him why that 1B is terrible and not just accept the offer. I did know he was on waivers that is unfortunate, someone should explain the value of that SP to him.

I am creating a newbie HBD teaching manual.

Yea I am fine with how TMB recruits players and where are new owners are sourced from. I just want to give them a chance to succeed. Like The Broken Bones wants to play yet we failed teaching him how to get a useful player in Rule 5.

Devo posted:The owner's manual is a good idea but I think each brand new player should have a Big Brother for a season or two. Someone to tell them "Hey you need to set budgets" or "holy poo poo you should protect that guy from the rule 5". Just have the Little Brother be in the opposite league as the Big Brother and not trade together for a couple seasons so there's no conflict of interest. FYI I have been basically doing this for Tavarin.

TMB was suppose to (according to nasboat) but then TMB offered a trade without Grebeck and I countered because TMB forgot the money. I can give Grebck to TMB if that makes everyone happy, I don't mind.
