Well that sucked. The two guys I really wanted took lesser deals elsewhere. One guy I understand, in that odd, OOTP way, but the other guy boggles the mind.

1B Turnwall and SP Lewis.
Turnwall I understand in that OOTP way, I went a tad too high on him. Lewis though must have gotten a BUNCH in the first year or something, because my 4 years were worth more than 21 mil, and I had an option for a 5th.

The last teams to modify their stadiums were New York (defunct) and Napa Valley, both in 1981. For our newcomers, here are the rules on stadium changes: Quote:
So based on that, I don't see why not, unless the BoD does. I can make the change in tomorrow night's file. Last edited by Young Drachma : 02-03-2009 at 09:33 PM. |

The historical franchise colors were Purple, a shade of gold and black. I lightened the purple some and made the yellow a bit brighter. The colors they wore last year were actually a third jersey color scheme and I only did that because with the internet/computer problems last week and having some trouble finding the normal unis.

I had intended to mention it yesterday, and I forgot to post it, so here it is. Thanks for the ATL logo re-work, DC. It truly looks awesome. Anyone who hasn't clicked on an ATL player or the roster page, do yourself a favor. DC really did a good job on it.

I'm definitely enjoying this purple, yellow, and black color scheme more than the alternate. The new logos also look great. More importantly, I think I may have enough depth on my roster to squeeze into the playoffs I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a happy Friday!

Hey folks. I will probably sim an hour or so late tonight. I have to go to campus at 9 for a tennis meeting, since I'm coaching this spring. I forgot to mention it here, but...I just thought to mention it now as I'm almost out the door.
I'll run the file when I get back, I think the meeting won't start until 915 (damn college kids) but I can't imagine it'll go more than 30 minutes...so I figure an hour or so and I'll be back to run it. Last edited by Young Drachma : 02-04-2009 at 08:49 PM. |

Does anybody else find it interesting how much a position change can affect the overall value of a player? I guess it's kind of common sense, but I'm still new at this game and tonight I made a 1 Right Fielder into a 4 star DH! Too bad I wasn't smart enough to make that switch last year.

The Stars (rating system) is based proportionally to how good they are vs others at the same position. So a 1 star Right fielder turned into a 4 star DH does not mean he will now play better. It simply means there are way way more better Right fielders in the league versus the number of players listed solely as a DH (probably almost none). So don't put too much weight on the number of stars a player has, it is almost virtually useless. |

I didn't think about there not being very many DH's to compare him to, good point! I do realize that the stars don't mean too much, but in this case I think it's a fairly accurate increase. Jacob Norman has all blue batting ratings but isn't very good in the field, so I can see how he would be rated higher as a DH than a RF. I'm not expecting his batting totals too increase necessarily, but it does make sense that his value overall will be higher since his glove won't be undoing the good he does with the bat.

I guess what I was trying to get at was... Even when he was listed as RF, there is nothing that prevented you or anyone else from using him as a DH (even if he isn't listed as one). The game doesn't necessarily do a good job of providing accurate ratings translation into an overall "Star" rating system. So in effect you are doing what I was intending to get across from the start. You evaluated his various ratings/potential in various categories and then made your own subjective decision on what his "worth" should be and how to best use him. The stars don't tell you anything that you didn't already figure out on your own |

Yea for sure. It actually works out perfectly that Norman can't field, because I somehow ended up with an outfield full of 5 star prospects lol. I guess the main reason I like the star increase, is that it makes my team look better at a glance. Nothing better than a little intimidation

Remember that single-A teams must also be at 25-man or less, the 40-man setting there is solely so OOTP doesn't do wonky things with your prospects. |

No worries, mate. We knew that, because you told us at the start. Take your time, do your thing and we'll see you when you can make it and otherwise, we'll see you at the end of your season. Having you in the league 25% is better than some folks (or the AI) 100% of the time, every time.

I double checked and there was no file for any of 'em. But no biggie, you just missed ST. But your boys still played, so you can check 'em out and see what they've done. It's important to note, though this will get lost since its at the end of this post, that missing an export isn't a big deal in a league like this, because there are SO MANY damn exports, that it's inevitable. I never want people to feel like they always have to export, which is why the season schedule during the week is a bit superfluous on purpose. We built the league intending that people would miss time and we wanted to spread it out. Obviously the FA sims mean more than the others, but...pretty much after Tuesday, you can get by exporting only to prepare your final season file... |

Here's the last cap check before we go tomorrow:
Code:
New York needs to shed some payroll fast. You can make trades up to the deadline tomorrow night or release players, of course, but need to make sure you don't release too much and end up in the negative. I'm sure Baltimore would love to talk fleec...er shear...er..trading with you. Last edited by Young Drachma : 02-06-2009 at 12:12 AM. |

If the previous guy didnt re up that one pitcher for the 20 million contract he would be alright. Kinda stinky way to start off. I was fortunate enough to have nothing on the rosters to begin with (talent or salary)

Did you get the "Win it all?" message? Impossible, because I got that one from my owner as well, and they can't BOTH be right!
