Cocksucker bartender is a no-show, making me bartender. No telling when I will get to it tonight, so you have time whoever is left over.

I'd cut back on that negative language or you aren't going to get any tips...

* I've checked on Keisuke Ando's contract and each time, he favors a new offer. I cannot wait to see what he signs for. I am betting $31 mill per.

* Lots of signings!

* Arbitration results are in. I lost nearly every single one of mine. Must have had the hearings in New England.

Is it safe to upload?

Am I the only one who just isn't trusting all these foreign players coming into our league? Lol.

It's just so risky to be giving $10mil+ to these guys who've never played against competition like in our league. That being said, I'll probably miss out on a few gems,b ut I'll take my chances.


I'm probably just overreacting to the catcher I signed a few seasons ago with great ratings and huge stats in the Japanese league, and he was a huge flop for me.

Well, you'd want to download first, but yes.

Something got screwed up with my uploads. None of my new offers show up and my updated offers are back to the original terms. For some reason I also have all the messages again. I also noticed that all the players I cut are back on the team.

Trendon, is there anyway you can verify if you got any of my last uploads?

this is all fucked up. i have a guy (simon lamoureux) on my roster still, who is a free agent after the 2013 season,which should be now. then i have sent in my download ,and i still cant seem to hire a scout. the update came back and no scout still.cant sign anybody without a scout. i wanted to bring back a guy who was claimed ,and put in a request to take im off waivers and he is gone now (palmer) pitcher was picked up by washington.

cant seem to get a answer on anything on forums and also on AIM with the commish.

He hasn't fileed for free agency yet. That will happen on the 20th. The people you are signing now are other free agents from other leagues and shit. There was no way for me to separate the two without abolishing arbitration.

.

I can 100% percent say that I am not in the running for Ando, I am using him as a litmus test. It's pretty safe to say that he is going to sign for at least 30 mill but how will that translate into production, is what I am looking for.

He could be Godzilla overseas but comes to the states and plays like Dino(from the flinstones).

[ajalves]

i was thinking that about all these imports as well.

I wonder how they'll do here

- i have never been able to bring a guy back from waivers after someone claims him. Whenever I put them into waivers it always says 'irrevocable waivers." Anyone know how one qualifies to be called back?

- Only thing I can think of on the scout part is that you are probably getting overbid, assuming your uploads are working.

Again, we are up to 17 active owners with three CPU teams. Are any of the other league's owners interested at all?

I took some flyers on guys with great ratings and cheap contracts that had nice stats in the japanese league for the bullpen.
