I think he already posted the update.
Yeah, I realize that now. Whatever.

Would I have enough time between advances to pull my own players off waivers should someone put a claim on him? I only ask because I'm wondering if it would allow for any post deadline trades, just wanna make sure I'm safe though...

Brad Miller and Dustin Ackley both hurt 
Time to bring up Jesus!
Also saw this and thought it was relevant: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/12230...pelines-2015-top-international-prospects-list
The A's have the #1 pitching staff both starters and relievers and the best defensive efficiency.

So uh wtf? Cliff Lee and Howie Kendrick are FAs now? Why would someone just release those guys

They're sitting in the Free Agent pool.
I meant prior to this advance.

I think they were both on rehab assignments and weren't inserted into the roster once they were done.
edit: which would make sense if you look at the export reader. Phils and Dodgers haven't exported in at least 4 days.

Chris Archer finally had a good week and is listed under Who's Hot! Went 2-0 with a 0.53 era in his last two games. Just went to check on Teheran and my scout says he's 10 points better in overall and potential since I've traded him lol
That shouldn't happen, poop. I'm going to put them back on the Phils at their previous contracts. I missed that, thought he has released them.
I apologize for another newb question, but want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row so I don't miss anything.
Eznark sims daily around early afternoon eastern time, correct? If so, does this include weekend days as well?
I am on Pacific Time so will likely do my export at work or in the evening from home.

Typically around 4-5pm EST. And yes typically on the weekends.

Wow. Won every game that advance. Now up to 10 in a row. Maybe this team doesn't suck after all?
XiaNaphryz
LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Does that mean we should refrain from offering contracts to those PHI and LAD players?
If you already made an offer don't worry about it. I'm just going to place them back on the Phils.

Aramis has been tearing it up for me too. He's put up the same number of RBIs and one more HR in 17 games as an Astro than he did in 85 games as a Brewer. Seems like a good win-win.
Honestly, Feldman is garbagio, I just needed to move ARam. Are you going to resign him?

He won't even entertain the idea. I've considered it, but it's probably for the best that I can't.

Robbie Ray must have slept with my position players wives...
He has been given 1 run of support (Unearned at that) in a game that he is still in (didn't make it out of the first inning in his debut)
Lol, he certainly did something to piss everyone off. The team is subtly suggesting he may want to find another team to play for, or perhaps another profession altogether.

Sorry, did make an offer to Hendrick.
Since you're putting him back on the Dodgers roster, I imagine the contract will be denied and the offered money will come back to the A's coffers? Actually, that's just a shoebox in the Lew Wolff's bottom desk drawer, so the game might have trouble finding it.
Anyways, c'mon Dodgers. Get your ship in order.

I won't be able to export for the next week or so. Already made the necessary arrangements to have the AI make moves for me, but there doesn't seem to be much to do at this point until the playoffs. I'll keep monitoring the league reports and if there's anything drastic that needs to be done I'll be sure to ask one of the commishes to makes the move for me. By the time I get back I fully expect to be in the playoffs. Rockies can't be stopped!

As a general rule, is it better to wait through all of a (good) player's auto/arbitration years before offering them a long-term extension?
Not necessarily. You can get a ton of value by buying out one or two arb years. Look at Goldschmidt, Tulowitzki, and Longoria contracts for reference.
But you really only want to do it with studs.

I've tried to do it but find it kind of frustrating because their agents want me to overpay drastically for their arbitration years while only getting 1 year on their FA. Desmond Jennings agent can go fuck himself.

That's why I jumped on Correa right away. Get my hooks in him before he knows he's a star.

Haha yeah. Wish I did an extension with Kiermaier before the season. Now his agent wants a 100 million dollar extension. Like get the fuck outta here I am broke as it is.

Jonesing. I'm a GOBL junkie.

Yeah, sorry about that. Howie Kendrick is still showing as a free agent today, so will I be getting him back? I'm definitely back on the ball, and have uploaded already this afternoon.
He'll still show as a FA. We haven't simmed yet today.

This league is ruining me (in a good way) in not being able to play these sim games by myself anymore.
I can probably do the new hockey one that is supposed to come out later this month but playing in a league with others is extremely fun.

I'm really looking forward to it. I made a bunch of dumb mistakes this season, and a couple when trying to figure out how the whole league works. As long as I didn't kill my budget for next season, it should be great

Look at the bright side. At least you're going against us lowly Twins.
At least we're tearing it up in the real world- knocking the ball all over the yard. I can't wait until my GOBL Twins turn the corner in a year or three.
