Maybe Ed Saunders should come back at age 43 and hit his 800th home run for an expansion team.

This isn't accurate though in the sense that expansion clubs are slotted into the 3/4 spot. So with that, here's the 1863 DRAFT ORDER 1. Wyoming 2. Kauai 3. NL expansion 4. Boston 5. Cleveland (NL) 6. Memphis 7. Lake Tahoe 8. Columbus 9. Chicago 10. Gettysburg 11. Rio Grande 12. Kauai (via St. Louis) 13. Brooklyn 14. Cleveland (AL) 15. Washington 16. San Diego 17. Carolina 18. Winnemucca 2nd round: 2.12 Washington (via St. Louis) Last edited by Young Drachma : 11-16-2012 at 12:34 PM. |

Reminder that this year the cap is set to $200m temporarily thanks to arbitration (which is now turned off for future years) and we'll go back to $100m next year.
All teams except Washington have a cap of $200m this year, Washington is at $175m because they accepted the one-time $25m offer to get access to FFP/RFA. So for the new people, don't be alarmed by wacky cap numbers. It's just a one-year blip. |

Jax Powers will take over the NL expansion club that he ought to be naming here shortly.

Also, the game gave both Denver and Boston 2 Rookie league teams apiece, because they joined too late to get Winter League teams. We'll adjust one of them apiece to the Winter League between the post-season and start of FA.

SLOP hall of famer and career home run leader Ed Saunders with 799 is coming back for #800 this year. He'll be in FA when you get the post-ST file tonight. He's 43 years old.
We'll see if anyone wants to give him a sympathy run around the bases swan song. Last edited by Young Drachma : 11-16-2012 at 08:22 PM. |

Ok, file is up. We'll sim the 1st half on Monday night. Have a good weekend. In the off-chance someone wants to make a deal, I'll process trades through Sunday night.

I'll put up a new file to process the trades later tonight or in the morning, I'm about to leave the house right this second. Exports will obviously work fine, I'm not advancing any days, just processing deals.

I got a chance to process trades, so there's a new file up right now for the people that made deals.
Also, I guess it's worth noting that a year ago this week we moved SLOP over here and got started and we have a year in the books. 26 seasons and counting. Not bad. So thanks to you all for playing along, I've been enjoying it and I hope you have too. |

I'm really excited to see what happens this year. It's one of those rare seasons where I wish we were a sim all at once league, just so I could see the results. Of course, when we finish 5th, I'll wish there was a mid-season break. So you know, there's that.

Only a few FRANCHISE players left out there. Pat Kenady was Lake Tahoe's (Though now he's not) and as such, they're eligible for FFP/RFA now.
Anyway, here's what the rule was regarding trading FRANCHISE players. I had to dredge it up because I didn't remember the exact wording: Quote:
Thank goodness I made this median and not average. Smart guy back then. Anyway, Kenady gets a 1-year extension worth $31.25 million +1 million for a total of $32.25 million. His current year deal will be for $24 million + 1.5 million or $25.5m |

Ok, he's not here. I thought he was. Anyway, I fixed their team since they had 33 on the roster. Let's start simming. Good luck to everyone.

Carolina brought back Ed Saunders to get his 800th HR apparently. I've placed him in AAA until mid-season since they already had 25 guys on the ML roster.

There's always a lag in April, because the game takes like 3-5 minutes to calculate league stats settings. It's a painful process.

Lest anyone tell you late trades don't matter. Washington's Pat Wright -- yes, the same Pat Wright that got traded early tonight -- currently leads the majors in HRs with 15.

OTHER NOTABLES
Shakil Sa'eed has found his groove. He's 2-4 with a 2.14 ERA through eight starts with the Denver Crows. Lake Tahoe's Zachary Allen and Pat Black are two pitchers you've probably never heard of. But they currently have five wins apiece. |

This is easily the most hilariously awesome year ever. The teams that have dominated the league forever are on the outside and we've got upstarts galore on the front end. Can the newbies keep it up? Or will the landed gentry get their acts together in the 2nd half? |

One of these days when I've got a bit too much time in my hands, we'll see which team made the biggest ever comeback at mid-season to the end of the year. I feel like we don't see enough of them, but I imagine it's happened before and I just haven't been paying attention.

Though for the first three years of this league, we had 1st half and 2nd half champions, rather than the playoff teams decided by overall record (except when the same team won both halves...)

Uploading the file now. Quick turnaround tomorrow, as we'll do the 2nd half tomorrow and playoffs on Wednesday because of the holiday. If you have any trades, please get them in before 7pm eastern because then I can come home and generate a new file and get it up to you all in time to export again for tomorrow night's deadline.

Oh Ed Saunders is hitting .625 in AAA, so at least we know he's no slouch.

Sweet - looks like progress has been made by the Spiders. Hope it holds up!!
Edit: This (Team avg .267 Team ERA 4.46) makes me a little curious how I have done so well the 1st half of the season.
