File is up. New game date: Jan 5th.

Reports and S+ have been updated.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR THE HOF.

Chicago signs RF Jesus Gomez - 3 year / $27M
Shelby signs SP Jose Munoz - 5 year / $60M

[Graywolf357]

Hmmm Mr Gomez really.

[wdoupis]

My ballot:

C Neal Herrera: Best catcher we have had in the league since the 2040s when we were loaded. .310/.367/.493 with over 300 HRs and 11 all-stars appearances

CF Walt Johnson: Was an elite leadoff type and won the gold glove in CF his first 5 season while remaining great in the OF his entire career. Put up 83 war and is a 3 time champion and 5 time all-star. Member of the 3000 hit club with 3032 and stole over 400 bases while proving some pop with 243 HRs

CL Bob Long: One of the best to ever do it. Last year he is eligible, come on fellas

SP Cisco Ramirez: Fell 1 vote shy last year so hopefully this is the year. Check the numbers, dude was elite

C Michael Riggs: 2nd best C of the last 2 decades. Was awesome at the plate and held his own behind it. Fell 1 vote shy last year as well. I thought this one was a no brainer.

[wdoupis]

Going in to today only 12 people voted for HOF... VOTE YOU A-HOLES!!!!!!!!!

[nick]

Herrera/Cisco. Hell, vote any Vice

[dakshdar]

Is it a problem that all the players that were waived/DFA'd during the Rule V sim are never on waivers for other owners to look at?

Error on my part and I did not properly explain it to Mike. He will fix it tomorrow. My bad.

If you want coaches (which may help dev) and don’t wanna do the hassle of signing, go into manager settings and make the AI sign your minor league personnel. I did that and it’s completed. I just deal with the pros

Do they have free reign to spend anything or do you set a budget?

I personally had no control over a budget. That said in looking at some offers I made to coaches in the minors before it became tedious, it was like low 100k (if that)/year type offers.

I’ll look at the contracts when I get home. I just quickly saw all I needed to fill was major league spots so they did their job and every spot is filled

[nick]

Also 1-0 in winning titles when I switched my teams strategy to the sabermetrics style from perfect team. Not saying it helped, just saying it probably helped. There’s about 5 or so presets to choose from. When I get home I’ll print screen em

You mean that dude you waived to save money that one time and then made the playoffs and did not have a good closer??? Sounds like a HOFer!!!!!

[nick]

You can do a lot of stuff with the Ai help. One is scouting budget/player dev/ticket prices. Kinda curious how much money I’ve been losing with an incorrect ticket price

Yep, that's the one.


In fairness, I was 10 games out of the last wild card spot with 35 games to go when I waived him, I don't think anyone expected me to make the postseason. Shit, I was 4 or 5 games back going into the final sim too.

Webby used to tell me that the AI ticket prices worked great. I still manually do it and track its but I imagine it works well.

How do you have the AI set prices, or recommend them?
