Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

My rooting interest is usually based on former Saberhagens, but when that comes down to Roosevelt Bolick vs. Marty Jordan ehhhh

I guess here's hoping for maximum Derrick Graves shenanigans.

He should start him so they have the rest of the game to make up any runs.

Undefeated when Nolan Rigby hits a homer in the game's first AB.

I think it's probably time to start breaking it down in Salem. Vladimir Thompson's willing to re-sign at $6.75m/year for at least two years, Gill Hooper and Nate Floyd for $6.5m/year for at least three years, and Geraldo Fernandez wants 7m/year for at least four years. All of those guys but Floyd get 10/5 rights after this season.

Unless there's a really surprising case, I'm looking for guys who haven't started their ML clocks yet, otherwise I'm just keeping them and scrapping for a WC2 spot

My FI wants to come back and this is the first time I've seen an FI willing to re-sign who is not dropping down to or near the base IF salary. He wants 2.94m, a raise from the 2.8m I signed him for last season.


e: also my AAA bench coach now wants to be my ML bench coach and is asking 2.1m, which is 400k more than my current BC is asking to return. I have also never seen that before.

It was honestly competitive over the last two seasons despite the fact that no one actually logged in and played it. I don't know how the farm is looking these days but probably not good.

This is Kent Page's age 27 year so he won't be dogshit, right? Right? Also Nash Brooks, Ronnie Griffin and Jamie Hardy are available. The pitchers at least will be tendered.

People had told me they had some people interested in picking up a couple of the open spots but I've heard nothing since, so I don't know whether the interest was real or who knows what about the game. If you have recruits, let them know how to sign up (if they don't know already) and give the password plese. Otherwise I'm gonna work on a classified and/or open to pubbies early.

Thanks.

Ended up getting in to one of the test worlds, trying to get my team set up, which of these guys would we rather play at SS (the other may be playing 3B if that helps inform the decision)? Leaning towards the latter.

The guy who played Brant Peters as a shortstop last season would go for the former, but that honestly looks like a toss-up to me.

I'd take the glove and deal with the throwing accuracy errors if it were up to me. Don't want my SS kicking balls all over the field. I'd say the real answer is whichever one hits better and find another 3B in free agency.

Yeah, there are only three good FA hitters in this world and none of them are 3Bs.

This is what I'm looking at right now pending one FA outfielder:

I'm posting a classified right now. No one recruited off twitter has said anything to me in days and didn't respond when I called for DMs so now it's first come.

If any of you've got people you wanted in, now's the time to get them set up and give them the password, don't hand them off to me.
