Yuli's salary isn't going to make a huge difference in a season we're not going to compete, but getting Myers off the books is great for seasons where we potentially might be.

My only problem with Yuli was the whole "racist dick" angle, but he seems to have made amends for that, and I'd much rather have a good infielder than Myers, especially considering we have a load of outfielders coming up.

Grab Salinas, trade for Yuli (lose Maton for the payroll savings), and then see if we can squeeze in Eovaldi

FREE AGENCY UPDATE It is currently the day before Spring Training starts. - Sent off Myers for Yuli. Threw in Villanueva as he wouldn't be starting anyway, in order to get the Astros to take back 50% of Yuli's salary. - Signed Cube Catcher to 3/3m. --Signed Eovaldi to 3/21, with TO in 3rd year (this is a great deal) - I was hoping to be able to sign Salinas to a backloaded deal before the rest of the league noticed him, but they did, and he got a pile of money from the Brewers. - Snagged a "Dominic Smith" in Rule 5, is a young left handed power bat who might be useful as a platoon 1B/OF. ...wish we had a DH.... Due to higher than expected ticket sales, we were given an extra 4 MILLION DOLLARS. VOTE Free Agents There are some VERY interesting options still out there unsigned. Zach Britton Andrew Miller Cody Allen Jerry Blevins Charlie Morton Josh Donaldson We have about $7m to play with. I don't think we can afford Donaldson, and we have both a current and future 3B anyway. Still, if we want, we can try to squeeze him in on a 3-4 year backloaded deal. We can probably squeeze in BOTH Britton AND Miller/Allen/Blevins on short term deals, probably 2-3 year deals with more money in years 2-3. These guys would be great trade chips, or alternatively if they stay healthy we'll have one hell of a bulllpen. Or, we could just bank the money to take on some salary in a deadline deal later in the season. Or, we could trade for someone who makes some money. I'm open to ideas. Justin Smoak and MadBum are on the trading block...Smoak is pretty drat good, but then I have no idea what we'd do with Santana. What do we plan to do with the following prospects? Vote for "stay up" or "more seasoning" if you disagree with my take. - Tatis Jr (known forward as FTJ): probably a year away. Should we try and keep him at SS, or move him to 3B? He'll be either a mediocre defensive SS or a great defensive 3B. He needs time at 3B though. - Mejia: probably ML ready, slotted as a backup behind Cube for ST, will likely end up starting - Michel Baez: probably needs some more minors time to work out his control, but MAN is he exciting...6'7, fastball/slider/change, 96-98 mph - Cal Quantrill: borderline ML ready - Luis Urias: borderline ML ready, slotted in as starting 2B Also, what a farm system this is. Spring Training lineup: Margot CF Urias 2B Gurriel 3B Renfroe RF Santana 1B Astudillo C Cozens LF Cordoba SS ST Rotation: Eovaldi Lucchesi Richard Strahm Lauer Erlin Bullpen Maton (CL) Wingenter Capps Yates Stock Makita Wick ...and a bunch of others including Quantrill bewbies fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Oct 6, 2018 |

Other league news: Harper went to Houston for only 4/84. He's getting paid about the same as Myers, lol. I can't believe he went for that low, we could have been in on that! Machado went to the Yankees for 7/168 Pollock went to the Cubs for 7/120. lol Kershaw extended with the Dodgers for 6/242

I'd say try and snag Miller and Britton with that money and then flip them at the deadline for talent if the season isn't going too well. Otherwise I think we've done a solid job at building a new base for hitters. It's a shame about that pitching though my view is that we should be aggressive in promoting prospects as soon as we get that extra year of control and if they're performing well. Tatis should stay at SS, and Mejia should be starting. the other guys should stay for more seasoning

We have a ton of SS depth...3 borderline-ready quality ML prospects (Cordoba, Estrada, Edman) and a couple more decent ones (3 star) in the pipeline (Almanzar, Arias). Morton priced us out in a hurry, but I have offers in with Miller (3/15) and Britton (3/23). Both are cheap first year deals with 2 option years. edit - well, we got badly priced out of all those guys, so I did get a nice deal on Justin Wilson (3/14), and am still negotiating with Jake Diekman. bewbies fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Oct 6, 2018 |

Time to decide our FINAL ROSTER for the year! VOTE My proposed roster moves, aside from waiving/sending down a bunch of replacement level guys: - Mejilla: to AAA until his Super Two date passes, then call him up assuming he's slugging in AAA. Cube and Rafael Lopez are a decent C pair in the meantime. - Urias is ready to start at 2B. Thairo Estrada won SS in the spring. Both seem ready to go. - FTJ to AA, as a 3B. - Quantrill to AAA as a starter until at least after Super Two day.

We called Urias into the office and told him he's starting the season in El Paso. There's now a big hole in the wall behind our desk. VOTE This spring, we had 4 quality outfielders emerge: Cordero, Margo, Cozens, and Renfroe. Cordero, Margo, and Cozens are the three opening day starters. I am of the mind we should swap one -- probably Renfroe -- for a prospect or a youngster at another position.  "I got three possibilities for you, kid" Bobby Bradley. 22 year old 1B. Kid has mammoth power. Huge power. Decent hitter otherwise, passable defense. Not yet on a ML deal. Corey Ray. 24 year old CF. Plus fielder, plus speed, potential to develop into a 280/330/450 kind of hitter. Maybe better than Margot right now, but doesn't solve the logjam in the OF. Not yet on a ML deal. Riley Ferrell. 25 year old reliever. Absolutely killer slider, 96 mph fastball, ML ready now, poential future closer. He's a righty though, and our bullpen is pretty full of righties at the moment. Or, we could keep Renfroe. OF depth is never bad, and he will get some playing time.

We have Santana for at least a couple years, so Bradley would have time to develop and work on his defense in the minors. On the other hand, you can never have too much bullpen help, especially if Ferrell is as ready to go as advertised. Plus if we fall short of our lofty goal of .500 we can probably sell him for a good haul unless he completely falls apart. Ferrell

And the 2019 Season is ready to go! We had a decent Spring Training - 17-11 I think, but we're still picked to finish last in the NL West. Predicted record is 76-86. Farm system is still #1 by a mile..our lineup in El Paso might be better than the one in SD. Two in the top ten, 4 in the top 20, 8 in the top 50, 18 in the top 200. Vlad Jr is one of the best propects I've seen, and he's starting the year in the show. FTJ is #2, and is in AA. Indians are the hot pick for World Series Champs. League website is HERE, upload should be finished soon so you can take a look at the MLB OF THE FUTURE. I will do the first 2 month sim later this afternoon. Opening Day Lineup: Margot, CF Cozens, RF Gurriel, 3B Santana, 1B Astudillo, C Cordero, LF Pirela, 2B Estrada, SS Opening Day Staff: Eovaldi Lucchesi Richard Strahm Perdomo Wintergenter (CL) Maton Wilson Capps Wick Yates Lamet ...still waiting on loving Diekman to sign his deal so we'll have another quality lefty arm in the pen. bewbies fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Oct 6, 2018 |

May 31, 2018 19-30, .388 5th place, NL West We haven't gotten the wins, but things don't look too bad. Yuli, Margot, and Santana are all playing well, as is Allen Cordoba. Cube Catcher had a tough start, but has turned it on lately. Our starting pitching has been rough...Eovaldi has been as good as advertised, but Strahm and Perdomo have been smelly and Richard was awful until he went down for the year with a back injury. Baez and Quantrill are playing very well in AAA, as are Urias and Mejia. I'm thinking we bring all 4 up on or around June 15. Bobby Bradley....has already smashed 26 home runs. He's on pace for 75. Bring him up too? Or wait until the deadline and we can move Santana then? I think we're probably on track for a .500 finish, but we'll need to get some good production from the young guys when they come up. Upload should be finished shortly. Also, I keep forgetting to change the numbers to 20-80, will do that next upload. bewbies fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Oct 6, 2018 |

ATTENTION We have the 7th overall pick in the upcoming draft, as well as a pick early in the supplemental 1st. Who do we want to target? Either take a look at the draft pool, or you can describe a player type ("big arm high school pitcher" "power corner bat" etc) and we'll go from there.

Bring up the Big Four; stash Bradley until the trade deadline so we have him waiting in the wings if we make some moves. In the draft target a college pitcher, preferably one we can aim to get into a starter role. In the supplemental draft target Best Player Available, without regard to positional logjams; if we end up with a trade chip rather than a starter-in-the-waiting, that's fine, we're planning on focusing on trades regardless.
