Well, it happened.... former Top 20 guys priced themselves out of jobs... Taracena, Stiver and Fortin all priced themselves out of jobs going into ST.

Speaking of TOP PLAYERS.... Two Colonials broke the TOP PLAYERS list for the first time....

Wilton Harcourt checks in at #19 among Batters

Delmar Oyos cracks the list at #20 among Pitchers

[Jistic]

And with yet another improvement for Luis Antonio Ramirez who is just skipping AAA all together, MacOwl goes on the trade block. I can't hold this guy back any more.

So those guys are going to sit out the season if they don't get the exact contract they want? That's pretty lame.

[Clay]

I'm assuming their demands SHOULD go down during the season if for no other reason that prorating for the length. We'll see though.

Indi signs RF Ernesto Adron....

That team is going to be really competetive.

[Clay]

Didn't we have a rule or at least a gentlemen's agreement about not passing guys through waivers during 30 day sims???

Diesel?

Diesel?

I thought the rule was that everyone without remaining options will be placed on waivers in the sim before the season starts so anyone who wants Lucero on their BLB roster will have a chance to claim him. It was a good move by Diesel claiming him and then getting him into his own minor league system the way he did. I'll have to remember that one.

I thought it was more than a gentlemen's agreement.

As did I.

My bad. I'll put Lucero back on waivers this sim.

[Riverman]

My bad. I'll put Lucero back on waivers this sim.

I don't think that is necessary since I believe your understanding of the rule is correct. The whole point of instituting the rule that everyone without options and in the minors goes on waivers before the season starts was so that guys couldn't be slipped through during the 30-day sims.

[Jake]

Just checking... did I do anything wrong when I put Lucero on waivers? I was trying to get him down, sorry if I did something stupid.

In solo leagues most guys that hold out into the season will accept one year deals, but it will be interesting to see how low these guys go. If low enough, I could see a bidding war for a couple of them. Nothing close to what they were asking for, but it should be interesting.

Indi signs RF Ernesto Adron....

The guy wanted a 5 year deal, but I thought I'd throw out a one year deal with a team option, and i'm kinda shocked he took it. Hopefully he can give me the pop I missed last year.

If I can make a move or two more, I really like my team this year.

That's correct.
