2082 Season Thread

Las Vegas has both the best Home record and the worst Away record by percentage

Rubber band gonna snap anytime soon then...

 

[Orlando]

Yeah...two teams have gotten all the scouting discoveries in the last decade or so of the game. One just happens to be the head commish of the league. Amazing how much luck we miss out on

I don’t think Karl was even commishing when those guys were discovered, but time is a flat circle.

 

[Travis7401]

I mean UK got a ton and @NML tried to overthrewn the league!

 

[hayvis]

I think to make things fairer everyone who doesn't have elite scouting discoveries should be given three each.

 

[Soonerfan09]

Y’all gonna ruin this league yet!

Sleight of hand

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Cipto Sartika's contract looks illegal or at least immoral af @Yankee151

This contract makes the Atlanta Braves look like they have a soul.

 

[Travis7401]

I can't believe u the narc now.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Oh man, YASUHIDE YAMAUCHI yas you shoulda hide before yankee stole you of all ya mauchi, WOOF. FOR SHAME YANKEE

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I can't believe u the narc now.

I was going to again propose THE @doh rule be removed, actually. But a $3M AAV contract for 3-4 WAR players stood out.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Classic O cheat codes. For shame @Yankee151 ... between this and @Karl Hungus ' discoveries in the rough, many scandals afoot. Paging cheat code consultant @Wooly

 

[Yankee151]

Both were signed after one year based on their arb estimates

 

[Yankee151]

It's immoral, but I can't remember if It's illegal or not, but I was going by the FAQ rules

 

[Karl Hungus]

I thought we decided there were no rules other than rule #1?

 

[Yankee151]

Pre-arbitration extensions must wait until the player has one year of service time and must be greater than or equal to the highest arbitration estimate.

The Yamauchi one might be slightly off based on this (depending on what the AAV is), but I remember both having pretty low arb estimates. CipTo's deal pays him 4.4M in his 3rd year of service time, which seems more than fine. Yamauchi gets 2.8M in year 3 up to 4.8 in year 4 and it only goes past one year or arb, though I guess those numbers could be bumped up

I should've taken a screenshot but it was very low iirc because I signed the deal mid season right after he hit 1 year of service time

 

[Travis7401]

Don’t be a snitch is the only rule I care about

 

[goblue96]

Snitches get stitches.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

I Quit

 

[hayvis]

How do you even do that fuck shit? Seriously, I would like to know. When I signed Franco after a year of major service he wanted 15m....

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Are we really in first place? The SZN my immersion is VERY LOW these azzholes gonna yo out there ane actually be competitive? Shame on you all.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Don’t be a snitch is the only rule I care about

Quit it.

Doing pre-arb $3M AAV contracts and then marching into FA and upping bidding to $30M AAV is not good for da league

 

[hayvis]

Way I see it, it's a shootout between me and you for 4th. Las Vegas and Moscow gonna have the rubber band fling them back up to first and second and Tankee's fuck shit contracts and number one tanking picks gonna put him third.

 

[Orlando]

@Yankee151 i thought every year was supposed to at least equal to the highest arb estimate, but i might be misremembering.

 

[Travis7401]

You are correct about what they were supposed to be, but now there are no rules other than not being a snitch. @Yankee151 should still feel bad about hisself, but that's pretty much his default state, so I'm sure he does!

 

[Yankee151]

That might be it. Their estimates were really low but it might still be slightly under. I actually thought I had taken a screenshot but I guess not

They havent even hit arb yet so still time for me to adjust those years

Overpaying for FA and/or giving away picks for a suboptimal replacement is a storied tradition of mine

You think arb was under $1m for them?

 

[hayvis]

Can someone please give me a clear and concise list of all these exploits so I can cheat too. I'm feeling left out.

 

[Yankee151]

You think arb was under $1m for them?

Iirc, the arb estimate on last year only has to kick in after they hit 3 years? that's how I read the FAQ at least

I mean i guess it's vague enough to twist it however you'd like.

Pre-arbitration extensions must wait until the player has one year of service time and must be greater than or equal to the highest arbitration estimate.

I think the intent was wait a year and each year must be equal to or greater than the greatest arb estimate. I'd buy an argument for AAV equal to greatest arb estimate, but i dont see anything about only after 3 years.

 

[hayvis]

If we just spell all the fuck shit out and give everyone the cheat codes then we'll all be on the same footing. Problem solved.

Well that's fair. Right now I've only paid more than I normally would, so I'll just have Karl or I bump up the contracts by a couple million each year and we'll call it even

 

[Yankee151]

Oh hey I still have the save on 19 before they hit a year of service time, so I can show you what their arb estimates would've been at the time

 

[Travis7401]

Just sign a few more terrible players to play in AAA and earn $30M AAV and we'll call it even.

I think thats going a litle too far back in time haha

 

[Yankee151]

Well I signed them on July 81 (the last save I have on 19 is Jan 81) so it'll at least show a ballpark

 

[Yankee151]

My client crashed and I don't feel like doing all that ST setup again so we'll just go with option A

 

[hayvis]

Ughhr. Advice needed. I offered Michael Locke an extension (not too expensive, about 3.3 AAV for 5 years with team option on the 5th). It wasn't much different from what he wanted, so I thought he'd sign. Now as if by magic his speed and positional rating has dropped and he wants 6 years at 4m AAV. Fuck that bollocks. What's the best way to deal with this? He's been productive for two years and I need him not to go turdy. I was thinking I'd just leave the old offer on the table? Is that a good move?

 

[Yankee151]

Yeah just wait to see if he rejects it

 

[hayvis]

Yeah just wait to see if he rejects it

So eventually he will reject, even though he wants more money at the moment? I've never paid attention to what happens after this stage.

 

[Yankee151]

If you submit an offer and they think about it, they'll make a decision later. However, you can go in to change the offer while that's happening

 

[hayvis]

He says he wants more money. Does that not count as a decision?

 

[Wolfman21]

He says he wants more money. Does that not count as a decision?

if you go into the pending offers section and it says "Wants more $" then yes...hes decided that the offer you made isn't good enough

 

[Orlando]

This will happen sometimes. I like it. It used to be a lock the guy would sign if you submitted and offer which was a little lame.

It’s AAV, at least that’s how I remember it.

Yankee just ignored the highest Arb Estimate? Lmbo.

I think a realistic goal is that contracts like Ozzie Albee’s either aren’t possible or that’s the worst we could do to a star player. That’s still a $35M contract which is better than this nonsense.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

You are correct about what they were supposed to be, but now there are no rules other than not being a snitch. @Yankee151 should still feel bad about hisself, but that's pretty much his default state, so I'm sure he does!

Not every team can pick up pitching off the trash heap every off-season so contracts matter more to other teams.

 

[hayvis]

Yeah. I'm not upset, especially since his ratings took a dive. I just hope I can keep him happy as he has three more not too expensive years and has been fairly good for me. Do you reckon not doing anything at all is the best tactic here?

 

[hayvis]

Not every team can pick up pitching off the trash heap every off-season so contracts matter more to other teams.

They're always there though. Look at Bui, my star pitcher for the year that I claimed off Yankee's waivers! THOSE RATINGS!
