It happens like that at times. Who knows what things happen under the OOTP9 hood at times. Its really nice when it happens for you. Not as much when it happens against you. I am not too upset here as it sounds like Brooklyn had me beat anyways. Plus now I have more money to spend on sunscreen this year! |

Even better is that my whole roster is signed for next year as well except for Connor Daniels. He wants a good chunk, but even if he gets his $10mil a year I still have $11mil or so free next year to spend.

Four years for even more than he was asking for to return to Colorado. Too much, IMO, but I like kaosfere, so I hope it works out for him. Ife he had signed with Valdosta, different matter. Alan is a tool. I am downloading the file to see how the AI is screwing up my team. Should be interesting.

I miss you, too, honeybunches. But I am still around at least. I think I need to go recruit someone to come in and take over my team before it's too late.

Heh...I meant that Wiley must have been the other big offer you mentioned when you signed Bruce. Bruce played a good role for me the past two years, and he got a ring out of it. I hope he continues to play strong toward the end of that contract, but the length of what he wanted was what kept me from resigning him myself. Did you option his last year?

BTW, question for DC.
Did you ever take a look at why some Colorado first year players/draftees (1B Orlando Arias, CL Stanley Robison) were already on the FA to be list last year? I re-upped them with MLCs, but I see they're FA-to-be again. That doesn't make any sense. I thought it was four years in the minors before you become a FA? Do I have that wrong?

Take a look at my spects at SS..... Very slim pickings..... at 3 mil I knew nobody could touch him, and i can guarantee he wont be making anything near that next season. So your right on the overpay, but I need something/ someone/ an IT to pan out at some point, so I had to take a flier on your boy |

Nice, the computer promoted Ortiz to replace Midakuni in the rotation. Well, at least they followed my plan there. That's why I resigned Ortiz (and not Midakuni).

Shaffer was supposed to be the long awaited good defense, decent speed, decent hit SS I had always lacked, but the wanker pissed all over his talent instead. But, yes, you're right, your SS's stink. He still has the D, and can probably hit about .280 in the bigs. Problem is that secondary ability is going to peg him with an OPS about .700 in his best years. Ouch. Hope he's short term for you.

It's indeed four years to be a FA. I did a little digging and it seems that those particular guys -- the game's fault -- have pro service time that made them eligible to be free agents. I haven't investigated it a ton in this league or even in this version, but have seen in solo leagues in the past through tinkering that OOTP will sometimes create draftees that have pro service time already. Makes no sense, of course. But that's German Engineering for you, I guess. |

Well and had a human owner for a day or so, who didn't have a computer...and got mad at me because a bunch of free agents to be didn't appreciate offering one-year deals that were at the minimum (like he asked me to do...) and alas, he left before he could really get started. They'd have been better off under the AI for that year, that would've held off some of the bleeding, though Tell left them with a nice farm system and they're still Top 5 in organizations, so...they'll be fine before long I'm sure. |

You may be right, however I know a lot of his spects came into Hartford once the AI was def running that team, which IMO kinda sucked. They just up and released more than a few decent spects for no reason.... I would hate to see that done to Colorado as well |

I just posted a recruiting thread for Colorado in the main forum. Cross your fingers.

Way to go. I option almost all of my free agent contracts now (or did). I think DC does this as well.

Yeah. I really only try it with young unprovens, or old vets who might tucker out. My poor little brain loses track of all the options when I have, uh, a lot of options. Definitely seemed right in this case, though. |

Provided he gets all set up tonight, Tasan is taking over Colorado. Only El Paso is left without a human owner.

Thanks folks. I'm trying to take in the overall ratings picture right now. Looks like I won't be much of a player in free agency this time around, but after this weekend I should have a real good feel for the teams and ratings. Hopefully then I can dive into the next season full force.

I'm sure that will be a bit of a culture shock from the other league you're in with me. Pretty much exact opposite even |

Thx for the welcome back. In honor of ours sisters and bros in the gulf coast i asked dc if it would be okay to move the Alligators to New Orleans. They are named the Rens. A renassiance from New Orleans is what they represent. Hope thats cool with u all! Go RENS!

Seeing how I can't think of what team was the Alligators, I am in support of this move.
