Hi NeoGAF OOTP team!
Rich here from OOTP Developments. I thought you'd be interested to know we recently got included in a FiveThirtyEight.com piece about how the shift killed Ryan Howard's shot at the Hall of Fame.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/ryan-howards-career-is-dead-the-shift-killed-it/
Also, wanted to let you know we stream an hour a week on Wednesday nights at 10 PM ET our Twitch page (Twitch.tv/ootpdevelopments) and we'd love to have you share your stories with us anytime.
Thanks for being OOTP fans!
That article was neat. As a fan of out of shape first basemen, I wonder how difficult it is to change your mechanics. I imagine impossible if even Tiger Woods wasn't able to.
On topic, I'm predicting a .500 season at best for the lowly Royals, which would be a at least 10 game improvement from last season, using promoted minor leaguers to shore up the gaping gaps.
Look up articles on players changing their swing plane to hit more fly balls. It seems it's easier than most thought (still insanely hard).
Trade
Milwaukee sends:
LF Ryan Braun (GOBL)
2B Juan "Lizard" Lezada (MIL International Complex)
New York Yankees send:
3B Chase Headley (GOBL)
Anyone have a 3rd basemen available?
Thanks Rich!
Also, could you explain why this is happening?
I cannot! But I shall send to the team to see what they say!
Ughhhhhhhh... looks like some free agent signees ended up in the Rule 5 Draft Pool.
Nathan Eovaldi (Blue Jays), TJ House (Brewers) and Brandon Workman (Red Sox) really shouldn't be in this draft, along with Braun of course.
Also, Sergio Romo (Red Sox), maybe some others.
I tried to protect Williams in the rule 5, but didn't get the upload up in time. Hope you enjoy him CQ!
Was this a FA or someone that technically shouldn't have been listed? Or just someone you forgot to elevate?
Who was chosen?? Wont be home for awhile!
Are the Reds a CPU team?
TRADE!
Tampa Bay sends:
3B Evan Longoria (GOBL)

But it's safe to say they are not. Haven't updated in over a month.
They got gutted. I think next year let's take a look at teams that haven't updated in awhile and protect their more obvious prospects.

Notes:
Yeah. It's worth letting everyone know that when I run the league file, it does not receive my undivided attention currently. Baby is much more active and we're in the process of having a house built, so I haven't had the time to look into the stuff that I normally do.
It looks like it is just the Reds that haven't updated, but only now am I noticing that the export page isn't working right either. Going to see if I can figure that out. (Think I got it working. Added a yellow color for the dates. Red is now teams that have never exported. Yellow teams that need to update their file.)

Samir Duenez on KC who I drafted in the rule 5 is not on my roster? Why is that?
Gosh I keep losing out on all my free agent targets

Mentioned on Discord but figure I'll do so here as well-- there's an issue with FA.
A player I bid on (and got the e-mail saying I was top) just disappeared from the game entirely. His e-mail now links to a minor league SP with a different name from Colorado. Different name, different position, different everything.
Seems to be the case. I found him on the website since I was late to update tonight, the website is behind a day. Unfortunately I don't have a fix for that.
Because he never played in the majors, there is a real possibility that he retired. Players that never reached the majors are deleted from the game when retired. So that's my best guess, but I have no way to track that down.
I don't disagree and I really don't have a solution or answer to that.The issue there is there's no real way to tell what else, if anything, changed between the league files.
Maybe dude signed a new contract in Cuba, or he wasn't allowed to enter the country due to an imposed travel ban o_0
That's baseball.
