I just tested it and was able to export. I get that error when my internet connection is slow.
I signed two of my necessary stop gap pitchers... YESSSSS.
One of them, my Tim Tebow, had extreme local popularity when I offered, but now it shows up on the website as "unknown?" Could this be a product of me moving from Australia to North Dakota?

Leinderts? Dude loves giving up home runs.
For some reason my fans were pissed you signed him.

Yeah, Leenderts should slot in to be my 4th or 5th pitcher (depending on whether or not I sign my other target). He looks infinitely better than the two guys I cut, which left me with only 3 SPs so I really need bodies for a couple of years until I get my shit figured out. The real selling points on him were his 75 stamina and injury history because the rest of my starters are just a mess in those areas, lol.
He also had extremely high local popularity when I initially searched for him, but that has changed to insignificant, so I think I may have fucked myself on that one with the move?

Were they extensions or FA?
One was possible extension, the other was on league minimum so I just cut him.
@Travis7401 I assume Local Popularity relates either to where they played last or their home town. You need to sign those washed up, old nationally (Global) popular guys.
That's interesting. You'd think the guy who played for you last year would still be popular.

Travis, did you get an email that fan interest increased?
I got the most dramatic message about how pissed the fans were, it was like I just traded Tapley again.

I remember Leenderts. He had an amazing year in the bullpen for me a while back.

I'm going back and looking at my roster from my first year in the WBL.
Lawd, what a squad I had. Bunch of bums, but they were a tough bunch. They definitely over-performed for me.

Orlando and osick have me confused now, so I went back to my spreadsheet
When I inherited the team I had 8 total starting pitchers on the roster to start with. 6 on the 40 man active roster and then Mole and Cicio were both on the IR
1 was old AF Dr. Sad making $15 million/year with an extension option.... Denied
1 was old AF Ugly Tom Xhong making $5 million/year with an extension option... Denied
1 was Dawud who was a free agent and had low stamina and had ratings similar to some cheaper free agents.... let him go. @Gooksta signed him
1 was Enrique Zuma who was old and had decent ratings but low stamina and lots of injuries and was released because I figured I could find a similar player who was younger and healthier
1 is Fransico Garcia who is a decent prospect but looks more like a relief pitcher to me, with his low stamina and only 2 decent pitches. If necessary I'll force him in as a starter, but I'd rather sign some stop gap guys.
That left me with 3 active roster starting pitchers with lots of injuries and low stamina.... HMMMMMM
1. Mole (IR)
2. Cicio (IR)
3 Brad weeks
So I set out to sign some cheap stop-gap locally popular (Tim Tebows) starting pitchers for the 4 and 5 spots that had good stamina and low injury history. That's where my boy Leenderts comes in. Unfortunately, his local popularity has changed, for reasons @Orlando pointed out. Oh well, still looks as good as Dawud and has better stamina, which I needed.

No, he was "extremely popular" when I found him, so I assume it is a big loss for your fans. I might not have signed my "Tebow" but I apparently stole yours

Any chance you'll just cut Peder Niklasson this off-season and let him retire? @Reel ruined his career when he signed him last year.

I went back and reread my Kabul thread yesterday. My starting rotation Was
when I first started. Lineup had some decent pieces though which I turned into a couple starters on my current team

If Tebow was a career AAAA player with a sore neck, yes I lost Tebow.
Sounds pretty much like Tebow.

I'll give you a 4th.

Have mercy
He's a middle reliever who I set to use 'less often'
I think he's the second highest player on my team

Let me know if you want to go over some more of your minors. I talked for 3 hrs last night with @bruin228 and @Travis7401 and I weirdly had fun.

I'm still hoping some minor league FAs sign with me so I can get my numbers up. Maybe right before the start of the season we can look down over them.

Well, he was the GOAT closer.
Are you saying all ur players are available in the way I said Andy Bobandy was "available," or are you actually interested in making a deal?
Craig Decker has me interested.

I see ur positional ratings have you pretty shitty when it comes to catcher prospects and I have a bit of a log jam of youths at the position...
I could send you a serviceable utility infielder/defensive guy so that you won't have a roster hole and give you ur choice of one of my catcher prospects:
Steve Green - Utility infielder
http://utopia.allsimbaseball9.com/game/lgreports//players/player_11240.html
+ ur choice of catcher prospects all around 20-21 and good looking players.

http://utopia.allsimbaseball9.com/game/lgreports//players/player_6492.html
Am open for other suggestions if you don't need/want Steve
Also, anyone else who needs a good 20-21 year old catcher prospect I'm ur guy. I'm looking for a stop gap pro pitcher, a 3b, or pitching prospects.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Travis Immersion is the the quickest developing skill I've ever seen in the WBL... from 25/80 to 65/80 in a matter of a week.
I'm with @Gooksta I love the new extension demands. Makes the game a lot harder... few teams have been using the same players they signed to unrealistic extensions and it'll force people to try new strategies. My whole off-season has been about shedding salary next year/getting younger because I have three huge pieces who are FAs that I've got to decide whether to extend or not. Old extension game it's automatic signs. Now you've got to make decisions.
