stimpy posted:thanks to all the bullpen coaches for just picking something else to do. Also a big thanks to the logic that says "hey, let's just hire whatever random dude is next in the list" so that I end up with a bullpen coach with a 38 pitching rating Yeah if you don't have an offer in for a coach at the PM cycle part 2 it literally gives you the worst one available. If I have any unsigned spots going into that time I make sure to have three offers out for each one.

Just in the interest of full disclosure, I'm helping pdalauro with some co-GMing. I'm not submitting offers for him but I am coaching him through some things while letting him do some things on his own. (i.e., I advised him to do the Fox signing) So far the worst has been a couple unnecessary 40-man adds but he's doing well so far I think. He seems excited about it. Also I'm glad no one's tried to poach a bad trade offer from him! So cheers to you all

Well, at the time I was still in the lead (and had been for the entire week), so it was just emergency cash and a little wiggle room for promotions and stuff. Then jeff snuck and and he signed the cycle after I lost the lead on him.

Every season I managed to put someone on waivers before the roster freeze so it takes forever for them to clear.

Roster freeze is the worst. They should at least let me move around my minor leaguers during this down time.

So I just realized I pulled an Art and didn't manage my budget properly, and I need about a million bucks to bring up all the guys I want to after 20 games. So, uh, anyone want to buy a mediocre dude?
