[Jake]

I did notice... I figured you had to sweep me a few more times before you equaled mine from last year before you could text me.

You guys text each other??? WTF!?

I don't have your number. Otherwise, you both could have texted me after sweeps.

Ten in-game years. Lots of texts.

Obviously an honest mistake IMO.

I don't think it needs to be changed but something to maybe write up in the rules for following seasons.

Pitchers can't have vesting options based on plate appearances.
Hitters can't have vesting options based on innings pitched.

Someone post it. Should be unanimous.

Vesting options should just be banned IMO. There are so many workarounds with those it's ridiculous.

Someone's jealous.

For the record, I made the vesting option 160 IP for a guy who's thrown over 200 IP 6 straight seasons. Last year, when I desperately could have used the financial help, he threw the most innings of his career.

[Matt]

I wasn't referring to you, or any contract I've ever seen. But I don't know if the game can tell between 100 and 500 IP.

[Ryan]

Based on what I'm hearing about "text messaging", Jake is probably wrong here. Carlos too, somehow.

[Carlos]

I'm always wrong.

Great sim for the Millers. Luna is fitting in nicely in the meat of the order

[fsquid]

Carolina sucks at hitting.

[Delandis]

On a non-draft related note, it looks like the league ERA is creeping back up.


Must be all the runs Baltimore is giving up.

[Pat]

Interesting note Pat pointed out to me I wanted to post for full disclosure.

Few years back when I resigned Jody Richards, I gave him two vesting years. One of them I must have mistakenly entered as plate appearances instead of innings, which would be kind of BS.

But... it looks like it was for this year (the 5th contract year). In game, it's showing next year based on IP.

Either way... if it needs to be fixed, by all means!

Looked this over again...after intense trade discussions...it appears the game just cosmetically changed it to plate appearances after the vesting option went through...so if he pitches 50 more innings, he is on the books for $15M.

Sorry for the confusion and long discussions for nothing Jake...not my intention.

In the market for SP...if anyone has any ideas.
