2007 Offseason Thread

[Tasan]

Would you mind if I exported as long as I don't offer on anyone signed here?

[Young Drachma]

I take the latest export on the server when I sim...

[Tasan]

Alrighty. I just offered on two guys, neither of which were signed above. If anyone has a problem with that, just let me know.

[Young Drachma]

I can't even get the game to open any league file @ the moment...stupid OOTP.

[Tasan]

Scratch that, it was 3. None of which were on here as signed.

TBH, I don't think any new exports should be allowed right now. I don't know who you offered, not really important. I just don't think anyone should be allowed to export with the knowledge of who was or was not offered a signable deal.

[Young Drachma]

Ok, I'm in. I managed to load FOBL and then was able to get it to let me into FOOL. From the top...

That sucks. Stupid OOTP.

[Young Drachma]

I pulled all of the old exports, just FYI. Not any new ones, since I had them on my machine anyway..

I'm fine with that. It was 3 guys I intended to try and sign, even had the same contracts I had already worked out still in there, just forgot to go back and hit offer. I'll just go after them for lower dollars for the next sim.

[Young Drachma]

As a reminder, when making trades, please make sure to 1) put the players in DFA or 2) list the level the players are playing at.

It makes processing them go a little faster.

DC not sure if you are packing or not, but Cheif and I just did a deal if you can fit it in?

[Tasan]

muns did you just sort from best to worst and offer EVERYONE a contract that was at least half good?

[Young Drachma]

The game spent 20 minutes scouting OSA and froze on that last time...so I had to leave it on that or else, it'd lock up again.

I didnt have much of a farm system when I took over. I think I had a nice draft last night, and made a few trades, so 90% of the guys I signed tonight are minor league guys to fill out my system and to get rid of most of the scrubs I have down there. So all the guys I put deals on where better than what I already had. Starting from scratch is always fun

I only got 25 out of 43.

I didnt have practice monday night so I spent a lot of time with the file going through it. I doubt that happens again for a while as state playoffs and all star games are coming up for me recruiting wise.

[Young Drachma]

Ok, that ATL-BAL trade is processed. Packing the file.

Valdosta Peanuts: Signed free agent 1B N. Jouda to a 1-year contract worth a total of $665,000

Nice pick up Alan, I really liked him. I tried to get greedy and sign him to a 4 year deal, he wasnt having any part of that one. Congrats

[Young Drachma]

File is up.

[Tasan]

So Wednesday night is Spring Training now, right?

[Tasan]

If so, rosters aren't expanded.

[Young Drachma]

Yes, it is tomorrow.

I'm uploading a new file right now. Again, I won't here at 9 to run the sim, I'll run it when I get back from practice, after 10pm CST sometime. The deadline is the same conversely, but you'll have more time, as soon as I get home, I'll post and start running it, so I can get a file up.

[Young Drachma]

Tasan, clear out your mailbox so I can send you a PM

[Chief Rum]

Hey DC,

I was checking out my new park settings. The HR ratings don't match what's in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet shows .980 for both RHB and LHB (which is how I want it), but the current in-game ratings show 1.054.

If you could correct that, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

The early signs point to a Compton v Boston rematch!

[Tasan]

I think I only started regulars vs lefties, and only about 4 at that.

[buckinbranco]

My financial page says my player payroll is $65,092,140. My salary report says I'm at $64.9 million for this year. Which do I believe?

Believe the player payroll. Yours is probably higher because you added minor leaguers for spring training, which adds 100k per player. Once you move them back down it will remove their salary from your payroll. If you already have 25 players, you may have some players in the minors making real guaranteed money and not on an MLC and you will probably have to cut one of them.

According to the League Financial report, in the file you have 64,992,140. So unless you brought -new- players up after spring training, that report says that you should be fine.

The only team from last night's file over the cap that needs to fix it right now is Montreal who is at 65,034,525 but since they have 30 players on their major league roster currently, they only need to demote one player that does not have a major league contract currently and they will be fine too.

[buckinbranco]

I ended up cutting a minor leaguer with a major league contract and the problem is fixed now Thanks guys!

[Alan T]

I am exported for the season finally. Heading out to drive to Connecticut now but should hopefully be home in time for the sim tonight to watch.

Tommorrow morning early (5am), the in-laws fly in town for like 10 days, so I might not be on as much as normal for the next week... Or depending how things go, I may hide away here until they leave

Good luck to all of the Republic League teams. To the teams in my league, I hope the wheels all fall off of your buses and the clubhouses all come down with food poisoning!

[buckinbranco]

I will be out bar hopping tonight for my roommates birthday. Best of luck to everyone as I will not be here for the sim tonight (assuming it happens tonight). Hopefully by the time I get back I'll have some happy results to add to my drunken euphoria!

[muns]

Good luck to everyone tonight. Ive exported, and im sure will be in and out as its a Friday and im on duty so yippie for me. DC i did try to sign a few guys so if I land any just throw them on the "A" roster please

[Alan T]

I did indeed make it home intime to actually enjoy a season for once. Looking forward to it as I have no idea how it will go!

I love when students come up with well i saw it earlier but the person was leaving so thats why i didnt call it in..... DOAH!!!!

[TimGuru]

Maybe you'll luck out and it will be something like this:

Plastic drill team prop earns student 10-day suspension

[muns]

I think we are calling it quits as far as looking for it and the kid goes, so hopefully im in for the night now
