Is that Harris trade bad enough for a first time owner that we should step in?

I think so. Its pretty awful.

Why the gently caress does Jeff get a good FA every year? Does no one else bid? There are like 3 good FAs this year.

I see why that Harris trade isn't good, but why exactly is so bad it's vetoable?

Becuase it is a brand new owner.

He's clearly looking at overall. But you didn't veto a goddamn heywood Cameron for Brian brown trade, so don't veto this. That was probably worse.

Why are you referencing a trade among two HBD veterans vs a trade with a first year owner? The whole point is the owners involved plus the value being given away.

I vetoed both trades involving first year owners. Please don't scalp legitimate players and send back piles of garbage to new people.

I ran my deal passed two other owners who both said it was fine.

I agree with you but like Saintoman pointed out it is hard to be unbias about your own deal. It is why I asked other owners. I think my deal is fair, especially if he ages at all on the D scale but if my deal gets vetoed so be it.

In our TCs he did say he wanted to clear the salary but never explained why. I just assumed for IFAs.

Nice upgrade to a 100% better, younger pitcher there, scrotos

Thanks, it worked out because of all the arb3 stuff. So here is hoping they extend and that they did not gently caress with the arb stuff.

How the hell did you get Vin back so cheap? I had him at 13.5 mil for 4 years when I dropped out and got Ayala. Ridiculous. I should never have dropped out.

Yes this is what we have been telling you for years. Maybe you and evilbeard will figure out FA eventually.

Meanwhile, as three separate owners consecutively advertise their pitching excesses in world chat,

Not to mention the 5 useful SPs on FA and the 3 great ones that have been traded that were advertised.

Don't worry, I have no interest in being a commish. But goddamn I want to get the season started already. We've been stuck at 7 openings for like 2 months.

HBD is dying, there are over a 100 openings.

Looks like almost half the league didn't vote for HOF

Shameful

No idea why they don't do auto votes for non voters like MVP or just have it be a percent of people who vote. All they have to add is a box to check that you purposely votes for no one.

Henderson Ross has been on base all of like 10 times and he's attempted to steal more bases then all but one player on my team. There's nothing I could have set that would make him do it?

There is a team steal setting, but individual steal settings do not exist in HBD.

To change team setting is in Managers Office -> Manager Settings -> Edit Manager Settings.

He has over a hundred million in his budget but only about 70 million of it spent. I'm leaning with him just being bad

Not yet but I suspect he'll say something. I know it's bad but I was pretty burned out on HBD after the entire Zimmer fiasco and I'm trying to get talent into it.

Message him before he says something and explain yourself.
