Same thing with:

Lavadie = $1.4mil
Clapp = 1.85mil
Lippincott = $1.91mil

Clapp also went ahead and signed with Los Lunas after being released by LAM. What's up?

[Clay]

My guess would be they got Auto Released because they weren't removed from DFA.

Ahh, I see.

[Clay]

I wasn't aware that Spot was AWOL or I could have done something.

He didn't post it, but I saw something in another thread about him being "away".

[Clay]

I can possibly "refund" him the money for the lost players, but I don't want to get into moving players around. Anyone heard if he's coming back?

I think Matt was the one posting about him in the Catch All thread a couple of days ago. He was the last one to hear from him as far as I know. Personally, I would be onboard with the "refund" idea, but would wait to hear others' thoughts. Of course you can go all Bud Selig and use your "best interest" powers.

[Carlos]

"Best Interest?" So that means Clay gets to do what he always does: nothing.

I have no problem with a refund considering it's very little money. It doesn't affect me and I doubt it affects anyone else.

I'm in the PCBL(another OOTP that Spot runs), and like Matt said Spot posted on Wed., with his dad in the hospital and, his wife 8 months pregnant, he's a bit tied up. He'll be back, just not exactly sure when.

[Jim]

I guess I should've been paying closer attention to the FAs. I went after Viret and thought I lost him after being signed the first time. Didn't go back through the FAs again after that since I had signed the other 2 guys I wanted.

[Matt]

And the busts come out in Batavia. I see that Cali has their scouting budget at $12 million...and I thought mine at $3 million was sufficient. Sickening.

LF Pete Merner 1st Round - 4th pick

-3 -3 -3

3B Loren Randall 2nd Round - 2nd pick

-2 -2 -3

MR Yann Martel 2nd Round - 10th pick

-2 -2 -2

SP Artie Abbott 3rd Round - 8th Pick (scout LOVED him)

-4 -1 -2

[Lintyfresh85]

Don't give up on them... they may yet rebound.

[Matt]

Naw I'm keeping everyone...I don't have much of a choice.

I should have upped the scouting budget but I missed it again. Maybe next year.

Los Alamos Free Agents

Crap! I signed two Los Alamos Free Agents (Clapp and Viret). Clay, I have to give them back to LA. It didn't occur to me that they might have become free agents due to a missed DFA deadline. Given Spot's situation, I wouldn't feel right taking those players. Let me know if you need me to do anything to make this happen. Thanks!

Gyro = the reason we don't need to worry about the whole manipulating bonuses issue. Bravo sir. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
