My lineups are wacky this year. I'm platooning at four different positions.

If it works out, though...

this is bullshit. i'm geting tired of this. everytime i miss the draft sim the fucking AI drafts OFs for me. this is really screwing me. i'm going to have a major firesale on all of my prospects. PM me if you're looking for prospects for your veteran players - i'll even take 30 year olds. as long as they're decent and productive.

everyone take a look at my prospects in the minors and make me offers for them, i'm going with my old strategy that i used in RWBL.

Bumping this again, just so this is not missed/forgotten. Financial changes will take effect tonight after the sim. The removal of the VL will happen next season the night of the FOOL CLassic sim (a week from Sunday)

Next season, all non-FOOL (or FOOL minor league systems) leagues will be removed. This includes the VL, the College and Highschool leagues and the like. This will be done next season during the FOOL Classic sim, meaning that any players dumped from those leagues will be available for all teams (including FOOL Classic Participants) at that time, in case anyone wants to plan on saving some money for anyone they like currently in one of those leagues. (There are roughly 8-10 or so ok looking prospect types down there which may be of interest to people, which is why I am giving an advance notice).

Not that this is particularly germane to the current topic at hand, but I vote for never going to divisional play in FOOL. And if we do interleague play, I'd like to make sure it's even number of games against the other league. I think that, after looking at FOBL where my team plays in the weakest division in the league and that has been that way for probably a decade, I'd hate to see us have that here.

I think playoffs will happen someday, because they do ignite interest, but...I'd like to make sure it's the best teams playing.

It was just a random thought I wanted to put out there, I doubt it's something on the horizon, just wanted to say it since I was thinking it.
