Sounds like a future Oakland athletic.
I still follow. I just can't do daily. I don't have a proper desk at work, so can't bring the Fisher Price MacBook in yet.

Dang, lost Gordon for 3 months.

Are you f'ing kidding me. Zobrist has a torn labrum last year. Out 7 months. Is back for one week at spring training and now has a torn ACL, out 8 months. $40m.

Hey Brent, can you shop Goldschmidt and Bumgarner when you get a chance? Thanks.
I'm open to offers for those guys from anyone.
I'm open to offers for those guys from anyone.
Yeah. A 7 day sim takes us right onto opening day, so I have to cut it to 6 so everyone can get rosters in order. Or close to everyone. I'm not going to wait an extra day or anything beyond that.
PLEASE CUT YOUR ROSTERS TO 25 ACTIVE NOW unless you know absolutely sure that you can do it after tomorrows sim.
Goldy can fetch Carlos Gonzalaz or Josh Hamilton from the Cubs. or Lucroy, from the phillies.
Bumgarner: Jose Abreu (CHW), Jon Lester (CHC), Jonathan Lucroy (PHI), Cole Hamels (PHI), Gregory Polanco (PIT), Anthony Rendon (WAS)
Remember, the AI only returns 1 for 1 trade offers.

Looking over my team to make cut downs, depth is much improved compared to the start of last year. Had a few tough decisions to make. Don't really like my teams chances this year though. Just not enough impact players. I think .500 would be acceptable. Could see myself making a trade if I get off to a hot start.

Yeah. You know you're collecting $22 million to sit around and rehab, you twerp. OMG I HATE YOU SO MUCH ZOBRIST.

I said this at the beginning of last season, and I'm returning almost the exact same team to the field, but I really feel like I could go places. Ponce quickly developed into a top-10 pitcher, and he's still rookie eligible! He and Bauer represent a good top-of-the-rotation that I've dreamed of of pairing with my offense since the start.
Now watch it all crumble to dust.

He went from zero to awesome in really short order. I wasn't ready for him, but I wasn't about to keep him buried. Got three ML starts out of him last season before he got hurt. Hopefully that's not a trend.
My guy didn't really think Gregor was anything special either, and he was super blocked. Glad to see he worked out for you. I love win-win trades.
That cut from 26 to 25 was a real struggle for me. I figured the dude was young enough that he'll get his chance in the future or even this season if an injury occurs. I didn't expect to be thinking about competing after only one season of 'throwing it away', but here I am.
Lindor, Ramirez, and Gomes are the only remaining fielders that were actually on the Indians ML roster at the launch of OOTP.

Ah, fuck it. Is it too late for me to jump in for 2019? Can I have the Royals? It's cross platform, right?
Purple Cheeto
Member
Yup! I play on my Macbook Pro entirely. The regular season starts tomorrow.

Edit: Derp.
People can jump in at any time.
If you want to take over the team let me know, I just have to create you as a GM I game.

I'll trade Goldschmidt for Lucroy on the Phillies.

Hey Brent, can you shop Randal Grichuk to the CPU for me please.

Brent can you run C Zack Collins to the CPU, thanks
Royals: Carlos Santana (1B) or Ike Davis (1B)
Blue Jays: Devon Travis (2B)
No one.
Just tried to see the numbers by inputting the trade and now they are no longer willing to accept the trade. "That's a very bad deal for us"
Duane Cunningham
Member
But the iOS version is separate, correct? (I'll probably still play on my mbp if so)
Yes, that is a separate game.

I would like to swap Randal Grichuck (ML Twins) for Devon Travis (AAA Buffalo Bisons) please. Thanks.
Shalashaska
Member
Lol, okay then. Thanks for offering him up originally then Philly...
Hmmm, that kind of screws up my plan now.

Hope you jump in... It's a blast and having Mr. RoyalsGAF running that team would be very cool.

...is the update I'm waiting to see any minute now.
Alright, with a new GM, I don't want to push the sim today.
So, what is going to happen?
--I imported all your changes at 4:23 eastern. I added Duane Cunningham as the new GM of the Kansas City Royals. Trade was pushed processed for Randal Grichuck (ML Twins) for Devon Travis (AAA Buffalo Bisons). Update with these changes is in process right now.
This gives Duane and everyone else 1 final day to look over the rosters (AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE AT 25 MEN ON THE ACTIVE ROSTER) heading into the 2019 GOBL season.
Duane, to join the league, please follow the instructions on the league website: http://gobl.obleague.com/league-file-instructions/

Welcome aboard! Now we only need a ChiSox human manager and we'll be fully organic in the ALC.

~/Library/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 16/saved_games
If you do command shift g in finder and paste that in the box it should get you to the right folder. You could also just create a league and from inside the game when loading a saved game choose open folder and it'll open a finder window for the same spot.

Hopefully this works for you. Whenever you are able to export your team file is when I will go ahead and sim to opening day. Sims USUALLY happen right around 4, or whenever I am able to/remember to do so.
Just an FYI, I made an export reader that shows when each team last updated. At the top, it shows the time of the latest update to the league file. If a team's update time is in red, they haven't updated since the latest league update...and green if they are updated.

Does this mean no more Braun picks when anyone needs an anything?
My manager seems hell-bent on a 6 man rotation as well. I wouldn't do it, but I've reached a point in the build of my team that I am letting my manager do his job. If he doesn't get it right, he knows what's up. I've had a sit down.
Although, I'm not complaining. He helped lead us to the Series a year or two ahead of schedule, so he's got some slack on his rope.

Melvin always has a 6 man rotation until after opening day when he goes to 5. Could just be a spring training thing.

43 year old David Ortiz was just signed by the Red Sox for $1.8m.
