SIM COMPLETE - 1980 - Offseason 2

[Andrew]

Sim is up. Sorry about the confusion with timing of certain things.

- You have until Tuesday to move money into your stadium fund.

- Rule V draft will take place at the beginning of the sim on Tuesday. You can view the list of available players in the game but please remember, this list might change.

- If anyone protects players by moving them to the 40 man, please post it here so people know they're not eligible.

[Andrew]

Also forgot to add the rest of the schedule..

- Tuesday's sim will start FA. I'm going to try to sim Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

- All sims will be 3 days in game. Only the league file will be posted. Next Sunday's sim will be 7 days or 3 days, depending on if I get all 5 done this week. I'll also update the html on Sunday.

- Remember to review the draft pick compensation rules now that we're starting FA.

Don't worry, I got snubbed by everyone but the doctor. Look like there's something they all want in the water down in Wilmington.

So, we can start offering contract to FA?

Also, how does the Rule 5 draft work? Do we do it in the forums?

Hey, who wants Malachi Stiver??? $21 million per year for 3 years guaranteed, plus $500k for winning the Outstanding Hitter Award. Seems like a deal to me for a 34 year old catcher.

You forgot the added bonus of giving up a 1st round draft pick as well.

What a deal.

That's why you should go with Windely instead only 26!

C'mon people, throw down some cash!
