AV I've been telling you to trade me Derrick Graves for how many seasons now?

iirc, I've tried to get Graves from Doran Doran, uublog, and AV.

gardenald: Jul 23, 2007; In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

I'll be back for another 100+ win season and first round exit from the playoffs because I hate myself

I'm back for next season, but i'm on vacation from the 23rd to the 30th, so i'm not sure how it's going to work. Are we going to wait for the new changes to take effect before we roll, or are we going to start as fast as possible?

He more or less put me out of the playoffs 2-3 years running so that's a sentiment I can get behind.

Santayana's career playoff line is .347/.403/.800

You say this like we have any control over when we roll. We roll 3 days after the WS ends.

We'll probably roll on the 24th, and the changes happen on the 26th. It might take a few days to fill, will we wait on purpose or fill and put off the changes for another season?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter when we start. We'll be locked in either way when we roll.

Maybe I misread, but if a season is already underway, it looked like the changes wouldn't happen until the next season.

quote:

Owners will only be able to view historical ratings for players within their franchise. If the player isn't in your organization, you'll only be able to see Current Ratings, Projected Ratings and other rating changes from the current season.

Prospects (until signed) will only display projected ratings instead of both current and projected ratings. This change was necessary to best accomplish the next item...

A new, fuzzier projected rating system will be introduced for high school, college and international scouting.*

International prospects will now hit the market with low demands, so supply/demand can better dictate the player's skill and so that bonus demand can no longer be used to infer player quality*

Diamonds in the Rough logic has been improved so that there will be fewer, yet more impactful player bumps.

A few other prospect-player development adjustments we'd prefer not to explicitly detail.*

Hall of Fame Voting page has been revamped

Items with asterisks will take effect no sooner than Tuesday, May 26th and only after a world begins its newest season (i.e. when schedule is generated). Put another way, if you are at the all-star break in your 12th season, you won't see the changes until you begin season 13.

All other items will take effect immediately on Tuesday, May 26th.

The most impressive thing about Derrick Graves's last outing is that he managed to let 4 people on base and get 2 outs in only 13 pitches

Even with Derrick Graves, I win that game if I don't hit into an error and two outs with the bases loaded in the first :|

If you're still alive, thank you uublog for Santayana and screwing up Walsh's deal, and also giving AV Graves for nothing
