2085 Season Thread... Sweet Home Chicago

[TheGobOne]

I almost unloaded Lou Ortiz last night and retained 40%.

I got rid of him for free today.

You’re welcome!

He will probably opt out but worth the risk for a playoff run and still performing as an “iron man”.

We are so desperate for pitching in Prosper we got Eric Howard and now this.

Don't believe he is eligible for playoffs for your team since he wasn't on the team in the 1st.

As long as he was on someone's 40man during the year he should be eligible. That rule is only there so you can't call prospects up in the last week (or hoard a good player in the minors all year) and have them play in the playoffs.

Pretty sure that's not the case. I traded for Tim Terry (MLB guy) last season and couldn't use him in the playoffs because I screwed up and didn't have a roster spot for him on the 1st. He has to be on your roster for him to be eligible for the playoffs on your team.

Then what's the point waiver trades.....this makes no sense. Something to address in the offseason. Either way, MLB says you can make a petition to the commissioner's office to add a guy so I guess if that's the case Corey can petition me lol.

[GeorgesGoons]

Otherwise I could collude with a sub .500 team (not A(L)east as they are all still fighting for the division) and get one of their best players just for a playoff run after the deadline.

Shouldn't be eligible at all. Petitioned or not

I remember at one point we removed Playoff Rosters. I forgot why we brought them back.

Major Injuries
Xu-Gang Hsueh (Alabama) career is over after failed treatment for.........shoulder inflammation...ok game and rough one for Bama

Signings
None

When does he officially come off the books for us?

He would have barely been ready for round 2 so not much of a loss I suppose. He was pitching really well for us before the injury.

I could be making this up but I thought we removed it because of the confusion on the rule and also how OOTP applied the rule.

Full circle!!

I believe it had something to do with Billy as the commish. He forgot to do something and playoff rosters weren't even an option for us.

Playoff rosters are a good thing. Keeps people from trying to collude behind the scenes. Not saying this is the case here at all.

I'm actually not sure about this. I would err on the side of you having to pay the rest of his contract but check it out at the end of the season and see.

I specifically asked if he would be playoff eligible before placing the claim.

If he isn't, I expect a refund

This is not true. Has to be his 40 man. The rule is there in every professional sports league so teams can’t unload guys or boost their team a week before the playoffs.

I love Corey but this one is cut and dry. He is not eligible

[qazhby]

playoff rosters are dumb

[GeorgesGoons]

Halos are dumb

FIFY

They really are- team can't hit for shit and i don't know why

Let them get their slump out of the way now so they can start hitting come playoff time

[qazhby]

Batters have been slumping all year- Valentine has been a little disappointing. Hector Sanchez is finally getting his shit together though

Glad I'm not the commish here.

That's a legit beef if the commish confirmed(not blaming commish at all) then he has a great point here.

But in fairness to me, I had opportunities to trade him just last night and retaining salary, and I turned down that trade specifically because I felt confident he'd be claimed and potentially available to that new team, so I think I have a legit beef in not taking him back either.


Glad I'm not commish

My export didn’t take which explains why that SP is on Prosper and Villy is still on my IL. Good times

[Cnasty]

Its an honest mistake and I dont blame Ryan at all.
As we can see here, the majority truly do not understand the playoff roster rules.

Yes I specifically asked but I could have done more research and ask others on my end, I didn't.

We will let it ride the way it is and its not the worst contract for a guy still performing very well for a pitching starved organization.
