My in-game date is December 1st... and all my pending Free-agents are on the roster still...

That's because you downloaded the file before it was ready. Too bad you'll miss out on all the sweet FAs.

2B Tu-an 'Speedboat' Yuen... excuse me while I head to a private place for 14 seconds.

Think we lost basically all our arb cases.

Pawtucket brings back RP Lewis, C Hillard & LR Baisen. Baisen was more about getting the fan interest bump while Lewis & Hillard played important roles for us last season. Gone are Miller, Jones, Becerra. Miller is a solid power hitter, but not we got some young kids we will we can replicate his production. SP Jones will be missed. We struck gold with this kid. At 35/36 though you wonder if that was his career season. Becerra...see Jones.


Won't be a major player in free agency. Unless its a great Intl class or superstars somehow walk it generally doesn't move the needle for us. We got Walling , Finlay coming up for sure and any monkey can play LF so I'll let them figure it out. SP Roundtree..... like to give him some more time, but we will see.

We didn't have many arbitration cases this year, but we didn't lose any either. I bumped up a couple of the offers and got them at prices I think are acceptable. I signed up Ron Hammond for another year at a solid price. I'd still be willing to discuss moving him, since I've got Jayden Alexander waiting for this spot. - he won AAA Outstanding Player this past year, but I don't mind having both of them.

Looking at the FA class, there's some guys I'm interested in. I've got a little bit of money to spend, so we'll see how it goes.

I'd still be willing to discuss trading guys like Dave Blackmon, Ron Baber, Ron Hammond. None make a lot of money, but they've been really solid players. Check out the block or shoot me a message.

Everyone returns except Rizer and Pulido. I hoped Pulido would retire a Scorpion at 43. Too bad he didn’t.

I can probably deal Zack Molina and call up Dewar and DeVries full time. I’ll miss his 4+ WAR this season but it would pay off in the long run if these guys get more experience. I expect someone might be interested in him around July.

Getting Steele and Lawrence back should help our pitching. We do have some money to spend but also a lot of prospects that are ready.

2B Tu-an 'Speedboat' Yuen, 30 million a season? If you guys allow Pat to get this guy.... Linty do the right thing here.

[Spectre]

Ugh I lost in arbitration to Tom Lyon- I have no idea how a guy who plays like 80 games a year got that much cash.

[Delandis]

2B Tu-an 'Speedboat' Yuen, 30 million a season? If you guys allow Pat to get this guy.... Linty do the right thing here.

somebody is going to trade him a boatload of picks for Nieto and let him get Yuen because it is Pat.

Nieto said he's willing to re-negotiate to bring in Speedboat.

lol, that would be amazing.

btw Pat PM me about Nieto later. lets free up some cash

I say we preemptively veto any Neito trade based on ‘for the good of the league’ cause.

[Spectre]

Speedboat looks like he's going to be a ridiculously good player

Please go to the DL

[Lintyfresh85]

Speedboat is tempting but we're too far away from competing to sign him.

However what I do have is a payroll of $18 million... so if you're interested in picking up Speedboat but you have dead weight on your roster... send me a message... see if I can't pick up a really good young player or two in exchange for that dead weight.
