Corey has figured out how to lock threads. We haven't seen this many locked threads since the Nole Administration.

Speaking of which, I didn't see Wu on the ballot. Is there a reason?

But Bonds and Clemens were HOFers prior to the allegations.
Thomas and Wu were nothing better than Billy Ripken before they were messed with

I actually went back and read the 2017 season thread and the first mention of Thomas comes up on page 65. At the very least, it was a super fun read. Corey/Dave/You are all pissed about it, then questioning, then accepting sort of.
Trendon confirms that he messed with the guys history after forcing him back into college so he wouldn't be wasted. Bear "proves" that it couldn't have possibly been him about as well as a kid "proves" he didn't cut his own hair after his mom catches him with a chunk missing in the front and the scissors under his bed with the old "I couldn't have, because I didn't run the sim!"
Hell, you even called him out on that and then backed off to not be a total dick.
Worth a read if you're bored

This. Thomas was a 20/20 free agent who got forced back into college by trendon because he was so terrible and he was trying to strengthen the pool.
Bear changed his ratings to the absolute maximum allowed. The only reason he was "good" was because it was changed, by Bear (a black mark on our history) to be as good as he could be. He even points out "but his stamina and GB% aren't great" as a way of trying to throw people off. Ok, so he didn't change ALL the ratings, just enough to not make him immortal lol.

For context....
trendon wrote:When you view the history, you can tell that I was fucking around with this guy; I didn't delete the whole history and you can see a comment was made about his OSA ratings on the 1st of 2012.
Around that time, I was taking untouched players in the free agent pool and shoving them in high school or college. We still had thousands of created players that were not drafted in any of the first three drafts or cut by the Japanese League, so I started editing the younger guys on to college and high school teams to clean it up and also to improve the draft ranks.
Now that I think about it, it is almost guaranteed that I moved Thomas from FA to Air Force. I always do the task when I have time and, as such, when I am taking guys and putting them in college, I start at the top or bottom of the list, alphabetically. If there was some cosmic way to know which players went to what teams (and how many), I'd bet that Air Force and Western Michigan have had the most.
All of that said, I have never edited anyone's ratings - even when doing this - so I have no idea how someone could get this good out of nowhere. I mean, he has PERFECT movement. Perfect. He really should almost never give up a home run ever.

Does the Chicago scout say he has more than 2 pitches?
His college stats are atrocious!
Nearly 1:1 K:BB ratio each season. ERA near 7 for four years of pitching. And only started 3 games in 4 years of college (with a stamina rating of 30 from OSA and 2 pitches, that makes sense).
What the hell.
My scout says he has 5 pitches. Low on stamina, groundball %, but very good everywhere else. His stats in AAA have been solid all year and he has been playing since April. Not sure why the game suddenly thinks he is the second best pitcher.
And to calm guys like Shel down, I cant make changes to the database unless I upload a sim. Since I havent dont that in a few weeks, you would have to look at trendon for answer as to why within the last two sims he is the second highest rated pitcher.

He's sticking to his schedule, we're not falling behind or missing sims. I'm happy.
