2083 Season Thread... The Frenchie Bulldogs

[TheGobOne]

Hah we all have those guys. I released Tsukasa Ichikawa as he was like 37 potential. Edmonton signed him and he blew up lol.

Makes me look at every guy in my org though. And I always have (save for one year) and always will have max dev budget - scouting too.

[nick]

I believe I had him mid 50's when I traded

Same, 55 rated DH only when I traded him.

Seemed like the right play, as those types are dime a dozen, and I returned a 3 ish WAR 2B.


Welp, that didn't quite work out how I planned.

But that's ok, at least it's not like I traded a 27 potential Jose Rodriguez to Port Orange as a throw in only to have him go from 27 potential to 71 that offseason.

50 overall dh/1b are amazing. Reason they’re usually that low is cause they’re an abomination defensively.

50 overall dh/1b are amazing. Reason they’re usually that low is cause they’re an abomination defensively.

They're also easy to find, generally speaking.

[wdoupis]

Ramos over Herrera? Wow.....that's a robbery right there IMO. A full time DH winning MVP, have we even seen that before?

Not sure if Nonaka was a DH or still 1B his last MVP. I know Fuji had to have been a DH during some of his MVPs with Ted

[TheGobOne]

Still gets me that people will draft a guy out of Low A who’s like 23 OVR thinking they can stash him and not destroy his development.

A tale as old as time lol. We’ll see you on the retirement page in 4 seasons Mr Fox.

[nick]

New England wont trade with me but theyll gladly just steal them. smh.

[DRWebs]

it really shouldn't generate this much debate

10 guys drafted in Rule 5 will always draw interest and posts

Just like every other instance in the past its a burning at the stake until its one of the good ole boys doing it

[shel311]

Questioning where an elite team will put those 10 guys equals a "burning at the stake"


I'll keep you in my prayers during these tough times.

[TheGobOne]

A Wild Webby appears! Dude please take one of the open teams and show these fools how it's done.

Congrats to Bill Quinn on getting in the HOF. Certainly a strong contender in the goat conversation. Nobody else got that close

Darwin Ga Mtundu signs a 1 year deal worth 3 million with Burnaby
Alejandro Franco signs a 6 year deal worth 60 million with Houston... No wonder he did not like my 2 year deal worth 12
Robin Madrigal signs a 3 year deal worth 18 million with Charleston
Christian Greene signs a 2 year deal worth 4 million with Burnaby
Quinton Hawkins signs a 1 year deal with Burnaby
Jim Garrett signs a 5 year extension worth 105 million... Don Higgins 2.0???
Jeff Leon signs a 4 year deal worth 47 million with San Antonio

[wdoupis]

I've had a couple people ask me. No, Qaz is not back. Doc decided to move Fresno to Steel City.

[DRiccio21]

Bill Quinn was a real one... salute

[nick]

I used to be one of those voters who’d just put 4 guys on my list. Now I’ll put 10 even if they’re not deserving to give them another chance.

[wdoupis]

Nick believes in participation trophies, who knew?
