2040 Season Thread-Feeling Crabby?

[Seeitsaveit13]

my 40 man roster is full. I could see myself losing 2-3 guys to Rule 5 this year.

Especially now that you've pointed it out

You can always waive and DFA someone and hope he gets thru.

Can people leave my guys alone on rule 5? I have no ability to get my computer ready yet. We are still trying to unpack and get settled in the new house and I won't be able to get into the program. I sent JD a PM, but I'm sure there are a few guys that I need to protect.

I'm sure Corey or Niddler can protect them for you, just gotta let them know which ones.

Then I have no remorse if your team gets picked apart.

Looking over Seattle now

For what it's worth, my list went in this morning before Corey posted the news from the sim.

But I'd definitely protect RF Dave Harris if I were you

Prayers sent.

[Cnasty]

Seattle has been taken care of. There goes our immersion.

Only hope we have left is if Dave magically doesn't have his file uploaded as he claims and gets screwed but not looking good.

Other complainers? Normally George but he has been signing guys and is excited for his .500 season so he is on the ball.

[Wasted Memory]

You're forgetting Ran.

Is he on DL or something?

[Cnasty]

He is and he is protected. Don't listen to George.

[GeorgesGoons]

He is and he is protected. Don't listen to George.

Let me have my fun. Going on 48 hours with 8 hours of interrupted sleep (6 at once and then 30 minutes here and there).

I was completely screwed 2 years in a row due to people inactions. That wasn't complaining, it was pointing out the obvious screwyness of the rule 5.

I got it for him. Will look at it tonight.

Corey got JD

[The_Niddler]

You're forgetting Ran.

Is he and Kendall still in the league?

I haven't heard a thing from either one of them in quite a while.
I know Kendall was trying to get internet in his new house still.

[Cnasty]

Yes

I handled Texas at his request as we have talked each week as he continues to try and get internet

Ran exports and sent a rule 5 list.

[Cnasty]

File is uploading...

[GeorgesGoons]

I have to ask. Why wasn't I granted SP Ramiro Fuentes (Sheltown)? He isn't on the 40 man protected roster and he also is listed as ELIGIBLE under the contract tab in OOTP.

Does the 60 day disabled list preclude them from the Rule 5 draft? RF Dave Harris from Seattle was on the 60 day and he is protected....

Will this be the 3rd year in a row that Omaha is screwed in Rule 5?

[Cnasty]

He wasn't in the draft pool.

You weren't the only one that had him on your list. He wasn't in the pool to be drafted.

With that being said...

File is uploaded. Website updated.

Next sim tomorrow morning, 6am deadline for exports.
New in game date is 12/27
