Jon Niese available for you looking for vetran lefty starter

My major league rotation's pretty much set, I'm explicitly looking for prospects to fill out my minor system on all levels. My scout doesn't have Niese rated higher than Lincecum anyway, who is my #5.

I may be willing to trade other prospects if Heston isn't interesting enough depending.

Arizona trades Myles Smith, Yenier Bello and Joshua Stower for Kevin Plawecki of the Mets.

Houston trades Conrad Gregor and Joe Musgrove for Wilmer Flores of the Mets.

Posting two agreed upon trades hoping they make it in this sim.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Anyone get bugged messages like this?

Appears I signed Josh Johnson.

Ya I get this too.

 

[Rommel]

I pmd him too just in case

 

[eznark]

I'll get them all in before advancing

 

[Rommel]

Time for Edgar Martinez to be added to the coaches pool! My bats need his sagely wisdom.

 

[eznark]

Houston is $16m in the hole and cannot make any moves til they free up that money.

Other trade went through. Bizarre deal for the Mets.

Unsurprised.

Guess I'll make more moves in 2 seasons, unless someone wants to buy about 4 of my guys for cash.

Turns out acquiring Trumbo and Lohse will kill your franchise!

Seriously though, if anyone has the money and space, I'll package Trumbo, Neshek, and Lowrie for a song.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Trying to rebuild the farm. Scout loves those two prospects lets see how it goes.

I'll take them off your hands if Correa comes with them..

Haha. Ha.

Ha

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wilmer Flores still on the block.

 

[Beckx]

Gah. Was on work travel all last week, likely again this week. Will try get the downloaded file & update soon.

 

[Rommel]

bah missed the player development report by a day

 

[Rommel]

Huh for some reason my player development budget got set to 0 last sim.

 

[eznark]

Are you broke?

 

[BigAT]

What's the player development report? All my emails from the last update were bugged and don't show up.

 

[eznark]

They weren't bugged, it just means you didn't upload the one before that one.

 

[Shalashaska]

What's the player development report? All my emails from the last update were bugged and don't show up.

It's the monthly report that shows how your players are progressing/regressing. You should get an email about it.

 

[Rommel]

Are you broke?

Nah have plenty of money. I reset it to where it was before. Weird.

 

[Rommel]

We simming today?

 

[BigAT]

I guess it's one of my bugged emails.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

We advancing today?

 

[brentech]

Should be. Not enough people uploaded to advance yesterday

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Slackers!

I have several players I'd like to trade but I need to see who all I sign first. I'll post a lot soon to see if anybody is interested in any of them.

 

[Rommel]

I get the feeling most people are done with their off-seasons and are just letting it ride at this point.

 

[brentech]

well, more people have uploaded since...

 

[brentech]

I'll be advancing the league shortly. Haven't heard back from eznark as I was trying to make sure nothing special needed to be done.
In such case, I'm backing up the current league on my system with your recent exports before I advance.

Should be up in 10-15 minutes, the export reader now tells you if it's currently uploading or failed to do if you need to check it a few times.

 

[eznark]

Just got back from golf, sorry. Did you upload?

 

[Rommel]

Yah he did

Crazy to see middle relievers get 20 million dollar contracts. Kevin Jepsen is available! Either for a decent 2B/SS off the bench or any half decent prospect.

Agreed, though the multi-year nature does make sense. Shawn Kelley and Charlie Furbush are still good trade tools if they don't quite work out since they'll likely be an upgrade anywhere.

Me and Atlanta were in a bidding war. I had set my sights on a few guys, narrowed it down to a couple and lost out on the other one I wanted. So Furbush won the contract lottery. I settled on him because he was initially a cheaper option but the process dragged on. Basically every other sim I was notified that he was leaning towards Atlanta.

With starters seeing their endurance drop to where it should be, I want to shore up my pen. I really wanted Motte but I figured the price would be too high. Should've gone for him instead all things considered. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20

 

[Purple Cheeto]

And to think Furbush's arb number was minuscule.

 

[Pyrogeek]

I was also going for Furbush but was not offering him anything as competitive as the two of you. I'm pretty happy with my bullpen and wanted one more veteran to shore it up and help me make up for my weaker offense.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Y'all drove up all the good RP prices! I withdrew from Furbush and then he signed the next advance and now the other RP I was going for is saying he wants 10 mil a year now lol. I should've just kept bidding for Furbush now I'm not going to get any relievers. My bullpen was one of my weakest positions but at least I got a little more power this offseason.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Looking to make some trades:

RPs:
Brandon Cunniff
Jim Johnson
Mark Lamm
Jason Grilli

Eric Young Jr. OF
Chris Johnson 3B
kelly Johnson 3B
Nick Markakis GOLD GLOVE RF NLCS MVP!
Cameron Maybin OF

I could also trade some prospects.

I'm looking for:
Left handed RPs
CF, RF, and 3B

I got lucky. Got mine for 3 years/10.5.

Have a feeling relievers are going to be way more important this season due to the stamina changes so I think it was a good sign.

Also, looking for a young lefty SP with 45-50 potential. I'd be willing to trade Beras/Jenco for those of you who need OF help.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

What kind of offers is everybody giving Alex Gordon?

 

[ryseing]

What kind of offers is everybody giving Alex Gordon?

His request has gone down $8 mil since the start of the offseason haha.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

What kind of offers is everybody giving Alex Gordon?

1 year $4mm. I feel that's fair for a 5 win LFer

(If I hadn't given Fernando Rodney a $15mm QO I'd probably have signed Alex Gordon)

 

[Rommel]

I might as well make a run at him. Maybe ATL will be cheap and let me sneak in.

Lookin to deal:

Yasmany Tomas and Chase Anderson for a lottery pick A baller. Help a guy make a run at Gordo!

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Downloading the latest league update crashes my game trying to load the save file. Deleting the save files and trying from scratch.

 

[TheCrow]

Some take Zach Duke. He's a lefty and good, trust me. Ratings aren't everything.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

There wasn't a player development report this month?

 

[Rommel]

There wasn't a player development report this month?

I didn't get one either. Wonder if the settings got changed.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Wow. If I didn't have a stacked outfield I would make a pass at him.

 

[brentech]

There wasn't a player development report this month?

i haven't got one all offseason...maybe just me, but thinking its only during the season? I guess I could look that up

 

[CrimsonCommie]

I got one on December 4th and January 1st. I didn't get an email for the one in January though I had to look at it through the Reports page.

Same, didn't get one but I noticed some of the ratings changed for my guys. It's in the team reports section.
