1983 Free Agency Discussion

yeah, its only 500k, so if it doesn't work, I'll just cut him after a month or so.

Wonder how the next sim will go. I guess I'm the first to sign a player to a multi-year deal. Only a blip on the radar but Mazurek gives me the infield backup help I need. And he's a champion

Too bad Ron Coade wouldn't take my minor league contract offer.

My depth at OF was absolutely pathetic last year.

I think next off-season we should adopt the OSFL philosophy of niightly sims through the off-season. Free Agency in the BLB is mind numbing in it's boredom.

It's not as practical with OOTP. The league files are about 10x as big so creating and uploading them on a nightly basis is just too time consuming for me.

[Clay]

OHHHHH... so it's all about YOU!?!??!?

Curious...how big are the league files? Any way to leave some stuff out (like old box scores or something) during the offseason to save space? I think it was last season we did 3 or 4 nights in a row and that was great.

Yeah the offseason league files don't include any Box scores or game logs and they're still 25 MB. The scouting and players files are the two biggest culprits and there's really no way to whittle them down.

I'm guessing you're on a somewhat slow connection? I know my internet is fast compared to most people but something that size would probably take me 10-20 minutes to upload.

But that would be every night. Which adds up.

Don't forget the manually submitting offers for people, dealing with people's DFA list and any other issues that come up.

Yeah that's about right. The problem is that it takes just as long for the game to create the files and zip them up, plus the time it takes to run the sim. Add it all up and I'm looking at least an hour on most normal sim nights.

I'm a bit surprised that Rugumas got quite that much money, for that long. I figured he'd get $6mm/year for two years, not $24mm over 3.

Desperate for a middle infielder Pawtucket ended up giving Mark MacAdie a good chunk of change, $12mm over 2 years. Not thrilled about the price but the fact that he's a great fielder, he should be serviceable up the middle.

Then of course the big one: LF Vittorio Samarano goes to Dallas for a cool $22mm a year over 5 years.

[Clay]

Wow! What a slap in the face! I offered Samarano almost 2.0 more per season.
