      I like the deal, otherwise I would have declined. But losing my #3 starter in a trade, from a rotation-weak, veteran, win-now team for a Double-A prospect, is a bailout?

      I've made plenty of trades in the last few years trading a very young promising OF in exchange for lesser value. OFs grow on trees these days.

        Monetarily? Absolutely. You were butting up against your budget, maybe over it. That would have limited your ability to sign FA's, put money into scouting and PD. Instead, you shed an aging SP (who happened to have a bit of an anomoly of a career year) and was going to have an escalating future arby # for a Top 20 OF prospect, whether they grow on trees or not. Especially when you consider that you were shopping most of your aging core in an effort to do just what you did, shed aging vets for young players to free up your budget and replenish your system.

        We also know when you downplay a trade, it's because you bested someone... Just saying. Well actually, they bested themselves.

          Got #24 prospect on the block too. Will even package him with my 1st to move up a bit in the draft.

            Good times.
            Where can we see this again?

            And is there a utility season predictions anymore, or just the HTML?

              Can't see this anymore. Its on your homepage in game.

              Stops when exhibition is upon us.

              We lost the utility predictions with the version change.

                OOTP 15 also got rid of the weaknesses section which sucks. I like having a scout tell you his opinion of this stuff.

                  Maybe you used all your BLB knowledge and have no weaknesses.

                    I thought that required simming 100 seasons.
