2082 Season Thread... The Villy People

[wdoupis]

Welcome to the 2082 season thread and once again congrats to Nick on joining the 4 timers club. A few things to note for 2082:

Normal sims tomorrow and Arby split in to two sims like usual. Mike will be running sims the next 2 weeks while I am on vacation. I'll let him post expected sim times

Coaches are back. There will be no fine and it is not mandatory but teams that choose to utilize it may.

The Qualifying offer has been bumped up to 17.5 million for this season based on how the MLB does it so be aware of this when offering qualifying offers

Richmond has moved to Chicago
NY has moved to Charleston

Pete will be running Fresno for us as I don't want to recruit while on vacation. IF you guys know someone I am sure Mike will be willing to get them set up

Other than that no changes but as always if you have suggestions make a poll in winter meetings thread. Please check with myself or Mike first to make sure what you are proposing is even possible.

Good luck to everyone and lets have a great 2082

I noticed Awards voting is available. Are we doing that this season?

[wdoupis]

No, it shows available but doesn’t matter

[nick]

Damn we need a redo on the name

[Ry]

ugh, trying to sift through these coaches and determine who to hire is to much for my brain.
I like the categories OOTP came up with except maybe the one that deals with aging players. Father time is always a winner.

Does a championship even count if the name is this bad?

Let me here your top 5 favorite players all time from your team.

No particular order:

Robinson Rojas - The 1st player ever in the NDL...ever! Drafted #1 overall in the 2010 inaugural draft
Greg Hernandez - Was a solid catcher for me, otherwise would never crack this list, but he was the WS MVP in my lone title year
Jeremy McGuire - Best player on my title team
Martin Ramirez - Triples machine!
Mike "Crafty" McGee - Couldn't come up with a 5th, he'll do just to piss Billy off
