Reminder

14. CONTRACTS

• If Team Option is used the Buyout must be the difference between Option year and highest Guaranteed year.
• Only one Team Option may be used per contract, and it must be in the last year of the contract. This prevents people from stacking Player Options after the Team Option.
• Players cannot be signed to contract extensions until after they have received their third arbitration contract. Players become eligible for contract extensions once they have three "Received a 1-year contract worth a total of $xx through arbitration." in their player history.

Well another fun season in Pawtucket trying to catch revenue . Let's hope the added seats plus playoff revenue makes up the difference ??

Saying 102 wins. Hope it's enough.

[Matt]

Thanks Brad!

Where do you see 102 wins FC?

Thanks Brad!

Where do you see 102 wins FC?

Wishful thinking ?

Basically same pitching staff , replacing Haraguchi with Victor Robles and Tom Wright. The subtract 12 wins .

Again wishful

[liquidcrash]

Preseason predictions are out, those have Pawtucket at 101 wins. They're not working for me in-game, but the HTML has them here:

I hope they prove to be clairvoyant.

Just saw the update . I was off by one without Robles and Wright in the lineup.

Btw Pitt is the overwhelming favorite so all pressure on them.

[Delandis]

No matter what we do, BNN always gives us ~85 wins.

Murillo+Gosser looks dangerous.

[Matt]

I should have just drafted Gosser!!

Maybe this will motivate Stoll.

[BDub]

Bullshit, Pitt is overwhelming favorite. Hell of a team, yes, but you damn well know you are the favorite again since winning it all last season. Pressure is on PAW to repeat and keep the dynasty alive.

Nope , gods have spoken. 103 wins versus 101. It's over.

Besides 4 cups .... Not a whole lot of pressure to be honest. We just hope for a nice showing.

[Delandis]

Ha!

Seattle is projected to be better than Davenport AND Denver.

[Pat]

81-81 prediction with an IL leading 184 homers.

[funclown]

Ha!

Seattle is projected to be better than Davenport AND Denver.

Saw that. Think Pat can pull it off ?

Tell everyone you are back and gonna kick some ass.

Quiet offseason for the most part for us. For the first time in a while, (maybe ever?) we didn't make a ton of moves in the offseason. I think we might have a top 3 offense and rotation, a lot of this year is really going to come down to how well the young guys grow.

Few things that will be key ingredients to success this season.
- full year of Nara at first
- Talley year two in Pitt, Taylor took a huge jump after year one, hopefully JT does the same.
- Growth. Vickers, O'Hearn, Davis, Bynum, Hall, Mock. Those are 6 young players who've all shown flashes of really good talent. Can they put together a good full year?
- It's Cleto's job to lose in RF. He's penciled in as a starter now, but we've got Mike favorite Ty McKay who's perfectly capable of holding down the position in RF and will have every chance to win the job.
- Can Amyot ever reach the potential that made him a top 10 pick? If there's ever a situation to find it, its here. He'll begin as a platoon LF against LHP. If he can show some promise, there's a good chance that the LF platoon of him and Cy Mock can be very successful.

Glad the game thinks we have a chance to win 100 games. Now lets see if we can do it.
