2069 Season Thread... The Herro We Needed

[GeorgesGoons]

Why are guys who havent even made it outta Short A, being taken in Rule 5. This is soooo fucking stupid and is one of the reasons I hate the Rule 5. If u take my specs in Rule 5 cause ur an idiot, i will return the favor down the road and take all ur specs the next fews years just to be an ass..sick of idiot moves like this. I never forget, just remember that

Haha, maybe you should have promoted him to the 40 man.

If only there was some way for you to prevent those guys from being taken in the Rule 5 draft.'

The meltdown this morning was pretty good though. Thanks for the wakeup humor

[GeorgesGoons]

And you are really that mad about Kulani?

[shel311]

And you are really that mad about Kulani?

Also, I think it was Ted that drafted him, with the way scout variation is, Ted could very well have this dude at 80 potential but also 40 current. So Ted's scout might think he is wayyyyyy better currently than the Cincy scout.


All the more reason to place him on the 40 man and not risk it if you really liked him that much.

Glad to see the rule 5 getting some immersion again.

It’s been a while.

This is like the 3rd time Daryl has had this exact rant

I think Moose did as well so you might be cross pollinating.

Just the 3rd? It's a good thing he didn't forget the other 2 times as he did no get one Rule 5 guy from any of those other owners in the 2 previous years.

If u take my specs in Rule 5 cause ur an idiot,

I'd argue its idiotic to melt down about the same thing every other year rather than adjust your failing strategy. I'd also argue its idiotic to question moves and say they are stupid when the person you are calling out is the most successful owner in the history of our league. Carry on though, I enjoy it.

[shel311]

Cincy has 36 players on their 40 man, so if the guy is so valuable, why would he have not put him on the 40 man when he has 4 empty spots?

Billy, this is not how you egg on an even bigger melt down. You should have PM'd Nick or Shel to get the proper way

[Wasted Memory]

Good old sensible Billy

Ted is the most successful if you just go with consistency. He literally never rebuilds and never misses the playoffs. Always has discipline and never screws up his finances. I will say its a tad boring though. I am tired of my team already in these 5-6 seasons and can't wait for this era to finish and make moves again.

Seems like we used to have many "excellent" or legendary or even good....coaches to pick from its hard to find anyone worth anything anymore.

was there a setting adjustment in the past 10 seasons or so

or is it more guys stopped hiring minor league coaches, thus unproven guys stopped developing?

its a chore to find anyone worth a crap which isn't the end of the world, but with not really knowing how much coaches influence guys and their performance, it's kind of annoying

[nick]

can we enable sign stealing?

[Cnasty]

or is it more guys stopped hiring minor league coaches, thus unproven guys stopped developing?

This is definitely a factor in it as I have hired a bunch of unproven guys for my minors and they immediately change to the next level after a season of experience.

But also many don’t care about managers/coaches since we voted on it a long time ago to make them optional.

[nick]

nothing like signing a hitting coach to a 38k/yr deal in 2069. Thatll be borderline slavery by then i assume.
