    Yeah the normal thing that's rarely ever done by anyone. Kinda like how Phoenix tanked with all those shitty seasons before winning. Oh, so they've won 80+ games in the last six consecutive seasons? Shit, bad example. I guess Maine tanked to win all their championships...shit wait, I forgot they've only lost less than 75 games once in 45 fucking seasons.

      Discounting you meant?

        It's grown in the last 2 seasons. Just cause you moved a contract or two doesn't mean it's not an egregious abuse of the games financial mechanics at over $90m in cash debt. Your debt buddy is hauling -$75m around.

          Yeah why wouldn't I abuse the system in the same way that you did it, as we can't lose our teams because of seasons of deliberated tanking?

          We already voted in the enforcing the old and no longer existing debt rule.

          Why don't you propose a rule that says players that allow their debit to grow to $90M / OR / don't win 70 games during 2 consecutive seasons will lose their teams if other players are listed in the waiting list?

            Actually, with the new voting rule it probably would've passed. Bad timing. But keep posting your nonsense everywhere. You don't even make sense anymore. You're like a caricature.

              No need to disrespect anyone, but that shows what you are made off, thanks for showing your true face.

                Don’t let it bother you shark. He’s just cranky that nobody is willing to submit to his bullshit trade requests yet. You’re a valued member of the league and you bring a lot to it.

                      • Ron Kirk, a Seattle castoff, lit our minor leagues on fire and now gets his chance to join the big club.

                        He's a switch-hitting 3B/RF who hit .336 after joining our A-ball team last year and then .301 after a promotion to AA.

                        This year he started at AAA and so far has batted .325 with a .989 OPS.

                        He just debuted at #92 on the top prospects list.

                        So he's in the bigs. Get ready, folks.

                          This has to be the worst fielding 3B the Guides have allowed to take the field in a long time.

                              Dude's 50/50/55/50/50 against RHP according to OSA. It's not like he's some scrub!

                              How he's the same guy who hit .182 in the Cape Cod League, I have no idea.

                                I'm not complaining... It's one of the things that I really like about OOTP! This game would be super boring if every player got to their ratings, and then always hit accordingly... Some of the unknowns make it more interesting!
