Also time for a trading is dead in the league statement and activity is waning type comment.

Sky is falling, yada yada.

While I have the floor, I will also like to point out how ecstatic I am that my blue potential ace arm now falls into the "fly ball pitcher" category while averaging like 0.5HR/9 over his minor league career and giving up a grand total of 54 HR in 8 years while throwing 99-101.

Make sense OOTP!!

Apologies the day got completely away from me. Draft lottery will be live in 15-20 min.

Do we get to vote on the names of who the awards are named after?

Do we get to vote on the names of who the awards are named after?

Nope and this was a big ploy to make every award named after a Steel City great

the Mal Grady MVP award has a great sound to it (even tho he never won an MVP)

- The vote on changing award names passed. I will have them changed in tomorrow's file.

I think we need to wait on this we haven't voted for names

[wdoupis]

I offered Tim White 5 years 94 million the first 5 sims of FA and finally withdrew it and went for smaller guys. Good job dumbass

If Bly has that type of rookie season I’d be ecstatic. We can’t develop pitchers in Prosper for anything so good luck young fella.

Nice to see New England down there again as well. Just feels right.
