It says it went through in my end.

[Matt]

That didn't type up right.

It says it went through in my end.

I'm sure it did, the only reason I'm skeptical is the fact that the lineup(s) wasn't/were not the same as what I had set it to throughout my systems.

He's could be pondering the offer. Every time you offer something different (I'd you are) it might reset his "thinking about it" clock.

If the game shows "pending offer" don't do anything. I've been caught in these gay loops before.

When you go to Available Personnel, do you see someone under the Pending Offers tab?

[mike]

No there were no offers under my pending offers which also included the 9 minor league free agent offers I made.

Look under "available personnel" then go to "offers."

It's separate from the "pending offers" in Free-Agency.

The only offer is the new one I submitted to the new Scouting Director now.

[Jimmy]

Woah, that contract Oshman got is nuts.

He's "wrecked" and you still have a January 1st re-scout coming. We shall see. But he definitely fits your mold of getting your entire pen right before they hit retirement.

I actually like the Oshman signing. Did the Clown overpay? Of course. But that's what you have to do to land the top notch Free-Agents. He had a down year in 2009 but I think he will bounce back. Combined with Lovera, Pawtucket might have landed the best SP and the best RP in Free-Agency Sim #1. Impressive.

Im mixed on Oshman. That 5 for movement is going to feel like a 4 in his small left field. Having a lefty is a necessity to balance out a rotation but I'm not paying over the top dollar for a guy I can't play regularly at home.

[Matt]

Well that's an issue. Did you have any issues during the year? Are you sure you exported after your last moves?

[Carlos]

Oh and Oshman is because of YOU Carlos. Lol.

I've been waiting for someone to acquire a lefty and admit it was to take down my offense.

I'm looking at you, spear.

That team option in 2013, I have a feeling someone's paying the difference to buy it out. I thought for sure Oshman would last well into FA, and someone would get him around Spring Training at a discounted rate.

I offered Oshman 2 years, 25+ and I thought that was reasonable... damn if Clown didn't blow me out the water.

I actually thought you'd get my two guys. I saw your available spending money and freaked out.

If we do anything else, it's thru trades. I need a certain SS/3B next? Stay tuned.

Outside of us making a big splash in Rule V, we also demoted Mark Schell to hitting coach after losing legendary coach, Jun Gao who retired this off-season. Big shoes to fill as Gao was the single best coaching signing I've ever made.

Our new manager is former Batavia bench coach, Turi Soto who led Davenport to 101 wins in 2006 before moving to Batavia for the last 3 years as their bench coach.
