SIM COMPLETE - 1998 - SIM 5

[Carlos]

Curtis and Martinez are really forming a nice 1-2 punch for us this season.

....but everyone looks good against the Pilsner.

Martinez really showing that very good stuff and great movement will trump below average control.

[Matt]

Sure.

I added it.

Oh for the '98 draft? When it said 'next year' I assumed it mean '99.

[Clay]

I assumed it's this year's since it hasn't happen in the league file yet. Let me dig and let you know.

[Matt]

I think you're right. Since the draft hasn't happened in game they probably mean this years.

"Compensation For Signing of Dani Rodrguez Received!: You have just been informed by the Office of the Commissioner that your former player Dani Rodrguez has signed with the Denver Bulls. You are eligible to get a compensation, which in this case is a 2nd-round draft pick from the other team and a pick in the supplemental first round in the next first-year player draft."

Biggest thing I did was fire my freaking scout and hired a new one. John Brabant was the one who convinced me that Justin Linesman was the second coming of Willie Mays.

Brabant was always negative about everyone. Jose Famila comes in favoring Tools He excells with minor league and amateur talent. My first round picks have been hit or bomb.

[Jake]

Not to be a dick and cockblock Matt... and with all due respect... but this is bullshit. (Remember, I said with all due respect, so I can say whatever I want afterwards...)

Couple years ago I had a guy signed away, IIRC, the first day of the draft, and asked about compensation and was told it was too late. I also seem to remember a rule being created or reinforced after that episode that compensation picks would only be rewarded to teams if the player was signed before the in game draft pool reveal.

I mean... I know I'm not on the secret council and all...

[Carlos]

Not that I care either way, but this is a recent conversation had here:

Dumb question, take a guy like Jim Newlin/Dani Rodriguez/etc. Let's say he's not signed until after the draft starts... would Hartford get compensation or is the "statute of limitations" expired for that player at a certain point?

I'm not certain but I think he must be signed by Opening Day.

I think that is right.

[Clay]

Obviously Opening Day is not the rule (I thought it was in-game).

I can't edit SUP PICKS in game, so I have to plug guys in. If guys let me know before we pass that point in the game, it is what it is.

The following players could potentially yield COMPENSATION PICKS. The following MUST occur in order for you to receive a COMP PICK:

1) You MUST offer that player Arbitration and the he DECLINES it. If you do not offer Arbitration, the player accepts it, or you resign the player before or after arbitration offers, no compensation is awarded.

2) Player must sign with a new team before the draft order is announced. This is 45 days before the draft or about May 1st (ish).

Not sayin'... just sayin'.

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carlos]

I like when I do something that causes friction.

[Clay]

Oh, I was aware of what I said in the past. At that time, I was under the impression that it was locked at that time.

Because the issues came up in multiple drafts, I started tracking eligibility. This is the first time I've seen this pop up when there was time to rectify it. It just makes sense to me to do it.

[BradZ]

I honestly think this version of the game treats these signings differently. I think in the older versions once opening day hit (and quite frankly I think it might have even been Spring Training as the cutoff) there was no more compensation.

[Pat]

I agree with Jake.
