Yes, finally, we have reached Opening Day. Our 27th season is here, and hope and promise reigns across the league.
Administrative note: The 35-man roster limits have been turned on. At a glance, the following teams have to make some roster adjustments before the first games are simmed:
- Antelope Valley - Rookie team (37 players)
- Atlanta - Rookie team (36)
- Highland - Major league (40), AAA (36), AA (43), and A (66)
- Houston - Major league (28)
- Maui - Major league (39)
- Norfolk - Major league (40)
Now, for our check into who has players on the rookie league teams that shouldn't be there:
- Appalachian - 2 players
- Atlanta - 20 players
- Highland - 2 players
- Houston - 19 players
- London - 1 player
There were no major league contracts signed in the sim.
Also, the new financial rules were not put into place. They will be done so when Zev does his next sim.
We haven't yet decided when the first games will be simmed, so expect an announcement in the next day or so. But, if your team is named above, please be pro-active and make the roster moves necessary as soon as possible.
D'oh. I thought I moved everybody up to A that needed to be there. My bad.
ReplyDeleteClearly, Brian, the appropriate punishment is a dispersal draft of your major league team.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I don't want to see all your best players go to other teams, but how else will you learn your lesson?
That's the problem with those minor league contacts - you need a player or two so you offer 5 - 6 guys contacts. Then they all sign and you're over! I'll waive my wretched refuse tonight.
ReplyDeleteAt least they don't cost you anything. I can think of several occasions where I needed to sign, say, a 5th OF, and offered two guys contracts. I hoped that one would be interested, but, of course, both signed.
ReplyDeleteI've looked to see if all acquired players can be DFAd on acquisition, and not just those with major league contracts. It doesn't look like it's possible, but that would be a solution to the dumping-every-new-player-in-Rookie-League problem.
Oh man, I spent two hours setting my rosters... is it possible I forgot to upload after all that? That would be unfortunate.
