Re: Voting Preference for All Stars and Awards

I wish those weren't the only two choices. I'm in favor of allowing OOTP to determine Flashing Leather Awards. I'm fine with allowing the GMs vote on the others. Given the choice between all or nothing, I am strongly in favor having OOTP do the all and the GMs do the nothing. Sorry if this offends a...

Re: Contracts for Minor League Players

My opinion is that if an exploit exists, somebody is eventually going to find it and use it; no more or less in this league than in any other league. It's not always somebody looking for a loophole, sometimes it's just someone poking around and saying "oh, I didn't know you could do this " and assum...

Re: 2015 - A Year of the Pitcher

Historically, and currently, all modifiers have been set to 1.00. OOTP refuses to make anything that simple. For each total, there's a numeric value in one column AND a second column with a percentage. You can change the results by changing either column, or by changing both. The "1.000" you refer ...

Re: 2015 - A Year of the Pitcher

I’ve made no secret about the fact that I don’t like how anemic our offenses are in this league. Having initially run into considerable resistance to the idea that we should do something about it, I try to limit my protests to about one a season, and only when someone else brings the issue up. First...

Re: Player Opt Out Contracts

I posted in Slack but I'll post here as well for a more permanent record. I looked at the team salaries page for each team in the league and found that there are only two players in the league with opt-outs in their contracts. In both cases the opt-outs occur after the halfway point of a multi-year ...

Re: GLBL - Inter-league Play Discussion

Back to this oldie but goodie. I propose a preliminary vote to determine the level of support inter-league play has. I want to see if anybody is strongly opposed to it. If it's a deal breaker for somebody, as in "I wouldn't have even joined this league if I knew there was the possibility of inter-le...

Re: Position Player Fatigue in GLBL

100% in favor of this, for my usual reason (I almost always favor any change that results in fake baseball being more like real baseball).

Re: AAA Realignment?

There must be an impact i'm unaware of. From the tone of the response driving this discussion, is Mr J.U. a far better player than those with more unique names (i.e. real players)? YES. Absolutely without question, YES. I've been posting stats to that effect for three seasons. Unfortunately the min...
