SIM COMPLETE - 01-02 - OFF-SEASON 2

[spot]

I think it a big issue that there are still bugs with the Rule V. There is no way that Jimmy didn't protect Neal.

I know there are issues because I am positive that I protected Darma Djojopoespito before I exported. And my export was good. Not only is he now protected but he is also DFA'd, which makes no sense right now since the active rosters are at 40 men.

He's no Neal, but I know I protected him.

EDIT: Looking at his transaction history, he was placed on the 40-man on 11/25 and then DFA's on 11/29. How is that even possible? Our sims are longer than 4 days.

I am not sure about any resolution to this, I am just pointing out the frustration that can arise if the game is broken.

It's a shame that Neal wasn't protected and the reason why I hate the Rule V.

Maybe it's time to discuss new rules behind it. Something like where the CPU can fill out a teams 40 man. That way it's not on the commish to select who gets protected.

I'm not trying to defend umd for not exporting, it's just disappointing that there's room for Neal to be protected and he wasn't. Hurts the integrity of the league IMO.

Neall is not Jimmys guy... he's Hartfords who did not export. Show me the known bugs in Rule V and we'll blow it up. I see no game issues.

[Clay]

I agree that it sucks under the "for the good of the league" but exporting fixes it. Its why I give people time, reminders and the opportunity to use me to help them if they cant get on.

Every offseason I post the "still in" thread to give people a clean out. I say everytime that youre better off leaving and coming back than not having time.

Sucks.

But... Cali lost Phillips back in the day....others have lost talent...it is what it unfortunately is.

Hartford just needs to trade him, problem solved.

[Clay]

That being said... Jistic could offer to trade Neal back as a solid, but im sure it wont be cheap.

Cant happen. We outlawed them. As far as the league is concerned the Rule V is done. From ARB to Jan 1 is no imports and offseason trades are post SIM.

Don't have a problem with what happened. It would never happen in MLB because it's someone's entire job to ensure that it doesn't, but such is life in an online league where everyone has other commitments. Clay can't force people to export for important sims.

My guy is SP Tommy Robbins in AA. He's not BLB ready but that obviously would never stop anyone from ruining a kid. All I can do is file a Lost and Found report and hope someone will send him back to me. It's probably stupid of me to bring attention to him and I'm not shirking responsibility for this.
My export times don't match so I had to have forgotten to hit the button or something. Total gaffe.

Yea. I would understand if Jistic kept him but this would be a nice gesture. Maybe a 1st for the inconvenience.

When I screwed up two seasons ago I got 1-5 to skip my guy. What pick does Hartford have?

Also anyway to see who's avail off the HTML?

I remembered it so I PM'd UMD about it.

Lol, those 5 owners were true gentleman.

If it's a game trying to simulate real life and if this doesn't happen in real life then why should it happen now? If something is big enough to ruin a fellow GMs enjoyment why not do something about it? The real spirit of the Rule V is a team losing people because they are too crowded with talent. Not because they forgot to fill out a list or in my case hit the export button.

Of course I'm biased. All I can do is lobby for some compassion.

Just to confirm Trujilo and Fisher do not show up in the draft list, correct? Both were still injured at the time of the sim and now are healthy.

As Clay mentioned, I lost one of the better all-around catchers in BLB history to the Rule V draft due to forgetting to export and I just had to accept it and move on. It happens.
