SIM COMPLETE - 1983 - Offseason 2

[Andrew]

We are now to the expansion draft. Protection lists must be submitted by 9pm ET on Sunday, after which a league file will be provided to the expansion owners and the draft will begin.

Damn resignings keep depleting the FA market!

Hey Andrew, quick question: should we compile a separate thread for people who have been charged money inappropriately (people who've declined options and been charged for them, guys who failed at hiring staff but still got charged for their attempt, etc.)?

Just post them in the commish to-do thread. I'll clean that thread up right now.

I cut Gary Lipincott, Jorge Taracena, and Chaim Lamberts. Traded Raimundo Carrazana and Roku Nakano....my fan interest went from 81 to 48.

[liquidcrash]

A couple more top free agents come off the market in O'Connelan and Shinamius. Looking like another weak year for those looking for impact players.

[Clay]

Shouldn't players have filed for FA before the Expansion Draft?

They will. The expansion draft is set to the same day that players file for FA. So none of the FA's will be eligible to be drafted. I still need to import once more before the draft and I wanted to make sure none of you clowns made offers to FA's. You know somebody would have.

[Clay]

Also, another question, not all of my arbitration eligible players had their hearings. Do those happen on multiple days? I have at least 3 or 4 players who haven't had them. Will that happen before the expansion draft? That's info I'd also like to have when finalizing my protection list.

Are you sure those aren't just the auto-renewal guys? I think the auto-renewal guys get their's in a few days, and you already know what they are gonna make.

[Clay]

I don't know... they are listed as Arbitration eligible.. I didn't think there was a grey area going from Auto to Arby like there is from Arby to FA. Is the jump to Arbitration based on service days as well?

They should already have gotten it. Have an example or two?

[Clay]

Oyos. Solozano.

If you have the game, go to the roster screen, financial info, and check if they either have years left = 1 (auto) or 1 (arbi), there's a difference.

[Jistic]

Ok, after looking at Oyos, he is an auto. He'll make 280K this upcoming season, and the one after that.

These are the auto guys, no arbitration for them yet.
