Oshima Tops Continental League Pitchers
Tuesday, November 8th, 2101
The Washington Freedom have a rising superstar or maybe even a budding Hall-of-Famer in the making.
It's Narihira Oshima, this year's Continental League Mauro Morales Award selection. This blossoming hurler wowed fans, peers and sportswriters with a fabulous performance.

Oshima compiled a 16-8 record in 33 starts, tallied 226 strikeouts in 217 innings and recorded a 2.86 ERA. Other clubs managed only a .235 batting average against him.

Premier Batter Named by Continental League
Wednesday, November 9th, 2101
Omaha's Jaye Norman put the wraps on a fine campaign today by winning the 2101 Continental League Bartolo Liriano Award.

The 29-year-old veteran scorched the opposition with a .343 average, picking up 227 hits, 52 doubles, 12 triples, 29 home runs and 111 RBIs, while scoring 112 runs.


Maricopa's Valenzuela Wins RL Bartolo Liriano Award
Wednesday, November 9th, 2101
Miguel Valenzuela has visions of big money next year. And why shouldn't he? He did everything Maricopa asked of him in 2101 and even exceeded the expectations of some in the final year of his contract. He might or might not re-sign with Maricopa, but he's certainly earned the right to demand a big deal by wrapping up the Republic League's Bartolo Liriano Award today.

He clobbered the opposition with 205 hits, 40 doubles, 8 triples, 33 home runs and 137 RBI, while hitting .308 and scoring 108 runs.

We have 5 FA with compensation attached. All 5 of those players are hitters but they are very good hitters. We'll play around with it the next couple weeks. I've played with it but I've not played with it outside of test simming in a solo environment so I'm not 100% certain about it.

[hyde4us11]

File is up. FA sim 1 is tomorrow morning.

[hyde4us11]

File is up. We have the season on Monday morning.

[hyde4us11]

I just noticed I forgot to do a couple more days after the draft. We'll leave it as is since its no big deal. I just wanted to say I noticed.

[Afino]

How come some picks just "disappeared"? Is that the new comp rules?

[Chief Rum]

What do you mean "disappeared"?

[Afino]

15 picks in R1
13 picks in R2
15 picks in R3


We have 16 teams...

First, did you look in game or did you rely on hyde's posts? If the posts do accurately reflect the in-game results, obviously that is rather curious. In that case, I would investigate what teams are missing and whether they signed or lost any compensation free agents.

[Chief Rum]

Hmm, I may be more curious than I thought. If hyde's post is correct, the missing team is St. Louis--which signed away my own compensation free agent Dan Iverson. I did not get his first round pick, it seems.

[hyde4us11]

Thats the new compensation rules. You lose your pick completely instead of it being given to the other team. The key is you won't be picking 20 deep in the supplemental round.

Sorry I wasn't around earlier. Kids being out of school now I won't be around all day everyday.

[Afino]

So the team getting comp gets 1 pick instead of 2? Interesting.

[hyde4us11]

Yes it one. The use of this is to resign your stars. Its mostly a deterrent to other teams to sign the players. In turn you'll get to keep your stars.
