2044 Off-Season Thread (GET YOUR ST ROSTERS READY)

[doh]

The awards came out which are cool to look at. Also nice to see where I am before arb in terms of budget. I am $21m good on budget but -$8.9m in cash. LAWD.

 

[doh]

Also if you want to feel depressed about the future of competing with OU check out Bump Hamid. A catcher with 80 contact AND 80 power? Fuck.

 

[Orlando]

Never mind. Seems like his ratings improved.

 

[OU11]

Im still at 70-70 i think. Jd has the same guy but better haha

 

[Wolfman21]

So @OU11, can you give me a roundabouts time of when the draft class/IFA's will be revealed today? Debating going to sleep now or this afternoon and that would push me one way or the other.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Has Tankee reached that Anti-Tankee rule from the UBL where if you tank 3 years in a row you start losing draft picks?

 

[OU11]

Nope

 

[jdlikewhoa]

@Yankee151 confirmed for not intentionally tanking. He's actually that bad.

 

[Wolfman21]

Nope

is that to my question or radfords?

 

[OU11]

Rad, I'll get it up when i can, im about to start when i get to work but i might be pulled away before it is done

 

[Wolfman21]

no problem, no rush...i was just wondering

 

[OU11]

It will be this mroing, either before 815 or around 10

 

[Wolfman21]

10-4

 

[Karl Hungus]

So IFA's are out, and one of them is Toju Koike, who already appears to be signed by Amsterdam. HMMMMMMMMMM.

what? i'm not seeing any IFAs

 

[OU11]

That's because Toju was out 3 years ago

 

[Karl Hungus]

 

[Karl Hungus]

I'm getting other teams' news AND stories from three years ago? It might be time to reinstall.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Lol yeah. I thought that name sounded familiar. I remember bidding on that guy

 

[OU11]

haha you shouldn't have arb decisions yet either

 

[Wolfman21]

i also got arb decisions from other teams in my email. Nothing about the guys I signed to extensions

 

[jdlikewhoa]

So @OU11, can you give me a roundabouts time of when you're going to let JD fleece you for Ammar? Debating going to sleep now or this afternoon and that would push me one way or the other.

 

[OU11]

It will be this mroing, either before 815 or around 10

[BCOLOR=#fcfcff]

What version of OOTP is Worst playing?

[/BCOLOR]

 

[OU11]

15

 

[jdlikewhoa]

@Yankee151

 

[OU11]

of course I forgot to change IFA to the same day. I'll do that now and reupload.

 

[OU11]

Bug.... Whoever can spend money this offseason better spend it all on him.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Bug.... Whoever can spend money this offseason better spend it all on him.

Lank?

 

[OU11]

Updating website now, he is unreal. Better than Greeves (sorry @Wolfman21). I knew I should have pulled off of Hacksaw.

 

[Wolfman21]

Bug.... Whoever can spend money this offseason better spend it all on him.

If his OSA ratings hold up, you can throw all other GOATS out the window and take a shit on em

 

[OU11]

Buffalo or BA should spend $40M on him.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

$40mil?

Lawd have mercy.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

 

[OU11]

http://utopia.allsimbaseball9.com/game/lgreports/players/player_8185.html

It won't update his player page though. I'm trying a few things to get the IFA's to show up.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I still don't have a scout. That depresses me.

Edit: Oh, do I have to offer him a contract?

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Someone be a doll and screenshot this dude. Just switch the view to OSA so @Mr. Radpants doesn't lose it

 

[Wolfman21]

why am i receiving emails about other team's scouts finding IFAs?

 

[OU11]

Anytime you have a question like this you can answer it yourself. Just say "Because OOTP" and be done with it.

 

[OU11]

Edit: Oh, do I have to offer him a contract?

Going to give you one now, sorry.

 

[Wolfman21]

In all the hubbub about "Bug", theres a closer in the draft with the nickname "Wolfman". Everyone understands that he makes it to pick 8, correct?

 

[Karl Hungus]

Gremlin, damn.

 

[Wolfman21]

Gremlin, damn.

Yeah. He looks good. Deeper draft this year. Doesn't have the Sugar Bear, but it is much deeper.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

A quick glance leads me to believe this will be a pretty decent Hitters draft

 

[OU11]

Im glad there is no sugar bear, i haven't even looked at the draft yet

 

[Wolfman21]

No dominant starting pitching. Couple good/great bullpen type arms. Quite a few good hitters. Top 10 should all get really solid players.

 

[Wolfman21]

LOL at the Gonzales kid in IFA with 55 potential stuff....and a 35 potential fastball. wtf

 

[Lloyd Carr]

God damn it, I fucked up.

I thought if I left an arbitration estimate with nothing in it, he'd just go to FA. So now I signed Jake Carney to a $2.6M contract and I don't want him.
