Am I the only one that has had to download the league file the last two sims?

I've gotten the error but when I retry it works.

We've been having some server issues, I think.

I'm legit nervous to have Kopp pitching against us for the rest of his career.

What a pitcher.

He's coming around. I was a little nervous for a while after I traded Jamie Davis for Kopp, Ruben Toala, Derik Batchelder and two 3rd round picks. Davis went on to make all-star appearances in 2016 and 2017 while we struggled to find a replacement at 3B and Kopp worked his way through the minors being overshadowed by guys like Loya, Boyd, and Herman. Toala was cut after the 2015 season and Batchelder after the 2016 season. I was having serious doubts about my decision to pull the trigger on this trade.

This year Davis is struggling, our 3B Holmes is settling in, and Kopp is pitching as well as anybody on our roster. Those two 3rd rounders turned into Jimmy Farrell and Josh Doss. My scout doesn't really like either, but Farrell is tearing it up in AA this year and looks ready to take a shot at AAA next year. He could turn into a bench OF for me in a couple of years. Doss is playing in AAA and doesn't have the hitting to make the BLB roster. I expect Davis to bounce back in a big way, but for now it's looking like we came out ahead in the long-term.

You guys and Denver aren't far away. I expect Los Alamos to be the team to beat the next few years. Sully has a great roster and experience winning to win the Bock the next 3-5 years outright.

I agree. I think Los Alamos is going to run our division for the next couple of years with Denver and us competing for wild card slots. I'm hoping that we have a window of a couple years after that where we can compete for the division before you and Pat can rebuild.

According to the game, the Bock has the #4, #5, #6, and #7 systems with Los Alamos at #9 and Seattle at #11. It's pretty scary that you're picking up all of these draft picks and already have a Top 10 system. This division is going to get real tough real quick.

Okay thanks guys. It's been okay. Mostly curious.

Death Valley has quite a few of my 2nd and 3rd round picks.

So, really, the lesson here is to let Denver win so Death Valley gets worse draft picks.

Thank you.

At this point... I have everyone's picks.

I just hope to avoid finishing last in 2019.

That's him folks.

Drafting is gonna be fun again. Unless I trade them all which is entirely possible.

UMD is going to make a triumphant return a lot sooner than you guys think.

Two years if not next.

Depends how many misses I have. I've never been this reliant on unproven players.

[Delandis]

No offense but there is no way I trade multiple picks to UMD if he's in my division.

Sorry bro. I'm not buying it. Saw what you did the remains of the Colonials. This is going to be epic and it's all Carlos' fault.
