Signing an aging Alex Gordon to a low value 1 year deal is the most A's signing I've ever done.

Can i get 2B Jace Peterson and RF Daniel Carbonell shopped? Figure I could stand to shed some salary.
Any owners interested, they're both available for prospects or possibly pitching.
Sim: 16 Days

Notes: Back to 7 day sims starting tomorrow. We're into Spring Training.
Peterson could return Rangers SS Wilmer Flores
Carbonell: Red Sox C Sandy Leon OR CF Manuel Margot, Phillies CF Arron Brown, Rangers C Jorge Alfaro, Nationals SP Daniel Stumpf

I tried to trade for Shae Simmons. I tried to sign Shae Simmons as a FA. I ended up with Kimbrel. Can't say I'm disappointed.

Member
Heh, I wanted Kimbrel first but he laughed at my offer.

Assuming it works salary wise, I'll do Carbonell for Phillies CF Arron Brown. Thanks!

The GOAT has dropped down to a 70. He's gonna come back better than ever and win another Cy Young! (Oh no dropped to 66 now ): )
I hope I don't have as many injuries this season. We might be able to make a run if we stay healthy.
Can anybody change ticket prices?
My owner still wants me to give Shae an extension

I don't think you can change ticket prices once the Winter Meetings end.

Damn you Mattingly no FAs like your style.... but you get the job done!
I would only fire him if Harbs was available

Holy crap at Peguero's preseason projection. .328/.380/.710, 72 HRs, 178 RBIs.
Wow.
Wow.

Not quite Babe Ruth's 1920 season, but in the ballpark. Wow.
AL West is going to be a warzone this year.

I've never been able to see preseason predictions. I go to the screen and it says they haven't been generated. Am I doing something wrong? I'd like to see what they predict for the AL East this year.
Dr_LawyerCop
Member
Thanks. Oh boy, OOTP does not like my team this year.
CosmicQueso
Member
Eh, the prediction calcs are pretty bad looking at prior years vs end year results.
Well then this is your year to take the Series seeing what it predicts for the Tribe this season.

No Shelby Miller in the top 10 NL pitchers the predictions are trash

Can you do the RF Carbonell to the PHI CF A. Brown deal, assuming the CPU still wants it? Thanks.
Sorry, since I didn't do it, that's on me and I'll force it if they don't want it. Can you please PM me so I have a reminder when I get back to my desktop.
I am playing my OOTP 16 game and lost Kolten Wong to a broken elbow for 4 months. 3 months had passed and the home stretch was in sight...just had a set back that ended his career. At 28. :*( I traded Joc Pederson and Zach Bird (plus some others) for him after the 2016 season and he'd been a rock for me for the 3 seasons since. Under contract for 5 more years. What a blow.
Sorry if this isn't used for general discussion much but I was left slackjawed.

General discuss away!
Question though... when he retired did you have to eat the rest of the contract? How does that even work? Don't team usually have insurance for this kind of thing?
I think this happening would destroy Rommel's soul.

Pretty happy with the shape my line-up is in. 1B is still up in the air, but I have a lot of options. My rule 5 pick is probably getting returned, didn't hit enough to warrant a roster spot. Team defense and line-up flexibility is so much better than last year, and I should be able to withstand an injury just about anywhere.
Pitching looks good. About the only spot that's up for grabs is my 5th starter. Danner looks like an ace and my bullpen should be improved.
This is definitely the season I'm most excited about.

In one of my offline leagues I felt bad for the Pirates because Gerritt Cole signed a reasonable extension, was pitching well and then blew out his arm and had to retire, so I edited him back to health and I think I had to re-do his contract as it was totally wiped off their books.

Season could go either way for me. I think my rotation is a Ponce injury away from being a dumpster fire.
Purple Cheeto

I think the biggest thing for me this season is going to be my rotation, I've got only two really veteran starter and both have injury histories. Also my bullpen is basically washed up starters (Felix Hernandez is my current closer!).
I'm excited about my offense though, Byron Buxton is having a fantastic spring.

I expect to compete in the season, make the playoffs and get swept in the first round. Typical old Oakland.
Purple Cheeto

I have $0 so unless you want to eat a contract (Brad Miller, Kyle Seager, Stephen Souza) I can't make a trade.
I have pitching depth so I'm not too worried yet.

Doing very poorly this spring, but I've giving reps to half the guys in my system, so I'm sure everything will be fine once the regular season gets going.
