feels kinda strange not really going after anyone this offseason. In the past theres always been a target or two that I would go after that was a "need". I don't really have any "needs" right now. I'm not sure if I made any moves with whats available if it would really make my team better. I just kinda got who I got.
I'm more wondering why Travis thinks talent wouldnt be spoken for
we should just leave good players sitting on the streets to become Riggers.

I'm not saying I was surprised it wouldn't be spoken for... I'm saying I was surprised that there was such a division between the haves and have-nots.
Most of the teams that have had an owner for a while have a good bit of talent either in the WBL or in their farm system. The squads that have either had owners that don't participate or no owners at all are the ones with no talent for the most part.

I think in a season or two there won't be many have nots
Ah. That's not how it read to me. I guess it's that way at the WBL level, but most the bad teams have good systems. Then there are teams like Rad's who were CPU teams for a long time who are just shitty.

Quit playing dumb, Amelia Qualheart. You've been a noted conflict seeker on this site for years.

I don't know, I think tanking might be the better path than whatever I'm doing.
Yeah but at least it'd be you tanking. You've got a good baseball mind so I'm sure you will be successful in whichever direction you go.
You may have missed the boat of getting some value from trading Oversluizen. If he has a good season and Padilla/ Andre aren't doing well, give me a PM.

Everyone took a dive after trading Ching and Talley. Does OOTP really value lineup protection that much?

I've been saying that Uggla's presence is the real key to Harper's break out season.
I've been telling you guys this for years. Jake turkeys play much better when they have a BTT leader, even if the BTT actually sucks. Thus the Tebow Phenomenon. Orton was a far better QB than Tebow, but he wasn't a BTT so everyone else sucked and they lost games. Tebow comes in and does his try-hard leader thing and says a few prayers and suddenly everyone is an all star. Obviously this effect is even more pronounced if you are a good player.
You guys are in trouble because I've identified and targeted two separate "Tebows" in free agency already.

The problem is lineup protection has been proven as non-existent and OOTP is supposed to be a stats game.
conflict seeker.
I'm not tombout lineup protection, I'm talking about BTT protection. Winning begets winning and playing on a team of winners makes every Jake better.

Non existent in real life or the game?

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
I'm kinda shocked. I thought people were going to say I got fleeced for giving up 15th overall for him. I guess not.

There is a giant divide between teams that can compete and that can't. There are about 2 that have a chance to spring into the "can compete" mode this year.
Most people in here think you either should be trying to win the championship or going for the 1st overall pick. There's no real middle ground. I completely disagree with this but that's just the opinion of a lot of people.
There are a couple reasons I disagree...
1. The baseball draft isn't as much of a slam dunk like NBA/NFL drafts at the top.
2. In baseball just making the playoffs gives you a shot compared to other sports. I think '16 is a lot more "anyone can win" than previous versions of OOTP.
3. I think it takes a ton of resources to get from the "can't" to "can" so like for instance Gooksta had to give up a ton of assets for Rojas/Torres to try and get into the "can" group. and
4. I don't think anyone gets nearly the value back when they just strip down the team. Yankee did an unreal job last year though. The other side of the coin is when you strip the team down to nothing, you are left with nothing to trade.
5. The budget penalties are being bad are pretty severe and limit what you can do.

IMO it depends on if Inonu takes a step forward age 25-28 years and plays up to his ratings. .800 OPS last year was good but at 1B it's fairly average. I could've gotten a 1B who hit more in FA but the value is him making the minimum/potential for a break out year. We will see but there is certainly risk on my end if this is another loaded draft.

I also think it's gotten a bit better since we added the 4th playoff spot. It adds another 2 or 3 teams that are close to playoffs that won't completely tank.
I try to put forward the best team I can from year to year. Of course there are years I know it's not going to be great. Right now though I'm in the hunt for the ship. So that's cool.

BA is setup for a long run of championship contention imo
I liked it. Hard to get much for a 1B right now. I only question if he would help you more in a couple years than #15 will. Depends how fast you think your rebuild will be.
BA has been one of the sexy teams in the SL for years now. I'm still waiting for them to produce. I hope they make it this year.
True dat.

Eh I turn over a good portion of my roster every year. Way more funner to be in the hunt and try out different strategies at the WBL level than tank to me at least.
It is interesting to see what will happen though because OOTP 16 makes you sign FA eligible guys to legit extensions. So the whole strategy some have used of have the same roster every year because no decisions needed if you sign everyone to the moronic extensions doesn't work anymore.
