Those are the handful that I can see under the Cairo transactions log for Feb. 20th that were drafted and subsequently released.
I was planning on not signing whoever i drafted, however, I really like this guy. Today, in the sim, is actually his birthday, so hes JUST turning 18. His personality ratings are through the roof awesome and he threw a no hitter in HS. Thats enough for me to keep him and see what happens.
not if it gives me a comp pick next season
@Travis7401 ignore what I said you could do if you don't like anybody.
lol. Didn't you know this was part of the rules that nobody has ever talked about osick!!!! rawr rawr rawr
Its dumb to you. Smart to me. But whatever. If its a known gentlemans agreement(now atleast), then i'll make sure to keep my eye out for people that break it. That way, when i call them out on it, I can be called an asshole then as well.
It hurts the league so yeah, it's dumb. You think i want all these shitty picks? I could just only sign the comp picks and have two firsts and two seconds every year. You think we're all too dumb to realize that?
If you don't sign your comp pick it doesn't carry over IIRC.
I've never done it on purpose. Just thought it was a tactic that a team could use.
if you did that, you'd only have 1 first and 1 second each year. Atleast until the year you used both your firsts, and then you'd be right back to where you are. Except it equals out, because you lost a first in the season that you didn't use it to get a comp pick.
I understood what he was meaning after I read his next message after I posted.
Just reread my posts, you can have two every year if you only sign the comps. Yes we've thought about it, no we dont do it.
Yes it is a smart tactic for a specific team to implement. No it isnt good for the league as a whole.
In the end it would be dumb to allow in the league, which is what quale and i are saying. Most never think about their actions in relation to the league, only about if it benefits them. That's why I'm here.

twas my thoughts as well. But its cool, i can play along to the league rules
It's definitely been talked about, multiple times. It's probably been a while though. You probably would have gotten away with it, so if you want to be an asshole just keep it to yourself
i like to share my assholeism with everyone. keeps things interesting

The couple years I've seen that we had multiple inactive players with multiple draft picks carrying over per team the draft was brutal.
This happened like 3 drafts ago. I agree it was tedious.
I quit if you change the draft ages again.
The recent crop of new HS kids look promising. A 14 yr old with a handlebar stache is leading in HRs. College sort of depends if some HS kids don't sign or end up improving out of the blue. Given that a lot of guys are Extremely Hard, it might end up happening.
Fuckig. @OU11 picked my "#5" player Centena. I noticed on at the very bottom of his actual ratings page the OSA had him at 50/65/65 instead of 45/65/65? Was kinda weird. Made me think he was better than advertised, so I was excited to check what my scout thought. I also noticed his velocity was still low and he was only 18, so any improvement there and his stuff potential would bump up as well and he could end up like Cartwright.
My scout vehemently disagreed with OSA ratings, so I passed and was forced to trade down

I would have picked him at #5 if I panicked, but since I waited till I got home and saw what my scout thought.... plus the fact that he wanted a lot of money and was "extremely hard" for the riggers, it knocked him down just enough in my estimation to level him off with several more guys like Holbrook, Tillstrom, and Geldart. I knew I could Centena or one of the others at 9, so I dropped. Went with Geldart because the scout/OSA agreed. He was the only ++ hitter (compared to the pool, not the league) with defense in a position of want.
