    Future live drafts

    Facebook works for me. My posts are usually pretty clean :)

    Most underrated and overrated players?

    Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I saw Moran's stats. Good, but only about 10 HR per year. He came out strong and made the All Star game his first two years - just never seemed to get to that next level, but he does get on base a lot. My best overachievers are SP Flores (1.5 stars) - he's...

    BSL Update: 2018 #3

    Thanks for making those moves for me, Cory. It's exactly what I was hoping to do - get Miller out of there and add a lefty, I just didn't think I'd get all three of those guys! Sorry I didn't take care of it - I usually do a better job of keeping up with that. I just spaced and forgot to do...

    BSL Update: 2018 #2

    Whoa - the Pirates are unstoppable! They went on a nice 16-game win streak and took control of the NL Central. It's early, but my Reds are looking very mediocre this year... Eric

    BSL Update: 2018 Almost Spring

    Man, he was tough to sign - I was wondering who else was making offers. I had offers to him every SIM and he kept asking for more $. I went with the classic move of offering a $20 million team option in the third year and it seemed to have worked. He'll never see a dime of that but I'm happy...

    BSL Update: 2018#2 - mid January

    Oh, that's one of my favorite screens. Go to BSL, drop down to Statistics & Leaders. Then on the tabs, click on Team Statistics, and then Team Finances. You are Below Average market size, with Great fan loyalty. You can also see ticket prices for everyone in the league to see how you...

    BSL Update: 2018#2 - mid January

    I'm still jealous of the market size increase! I've made the playoffs 9 out of 11 seasons and have never been below .500. Can't seem to get that market size increase (unless I forgot about it somewhere along the way, but I think I've always been Average). Still, I'm happy to have been dealt...

    Bsl year-end cleanup - owner feedback needed

    Would you consider lowering the threshold a little for hitters? I'm just looking at the extreme case - I have Josh Kenney who is under 50 on all three but he has a nice role on my team as a pinch runner and defensive replacement. I know he wouldn't be affected since he's not a FA, but a guy...

    BSL Update: offseason 2

    Does anyone else think this year's crop is extremely weak/shallow compared to previous years? Maybe it just isn't lining up with position that I need to fill. It would have been really bad if not for a couple of international players coming into the mix, but I'm not even sure that any of them...

    BSL Update: offseason 2

    I usually go to the Transaction Overview screen. The top right quadrant shows the guys that are on your 40-man roster. If there are guys in your minors with a # next to their name, they are eligible to be drafted by another team. If you want to protect any of those guys with the #, I usually...

    BSL Update: Offseason 1

    Nice! I'm glad he will be in the AL! Eric

    That's it - I need to call some people out!

    Good call - I've noticed that, too (regarding over-weighing speed and defense). Another thing I noticed is that the BSL 2.0 has a lot more MR/CLs in the Top 100 than I remember seeing in BSL 1.0. I seem to remember BSL 1.0 valuing hitters over pitchers in the rankings, and also valuing SPs...

    BSL Updae: 2017 World Series/ begin offseason

    It crossed my mind. If you sign him, you probably need to have a big budget (I would think over $100 million) and be significantly below that to have room to offer him that kind of jack. I think it limits what you can do with the other 24 positions on your roster, unless you have plenty of...

    That's it - I need to call some people out!

    This has been building for years, but I've finally had enough. Those guys at Baseball America are driving me crazy! I don't know how they come up with their Top 100 prospect list, but they obviously have something against my Reds organization, my prospects, and me personally. I'll start with...

    BSL Updae: 2017 World Series/ begin offseason

    Congrats, NYM! Sounds like it was a great series with TEX. I'm happy to report that my owner increased my budget up to $128 million - second in the BSL to OAK. That was nice, but I think I'd rather have that market size increase like KC. Only regret this year was not spending more on...

    BSL Update: championship series 2017

    Man, the series was over as soon as it started! I could not recover from the devastating loss in Game 1. Jenks served up a game-tying HR to Denard Span in the 8th inning and then the Mets went on to win it in the 11th. Span also delivered a crushing grand slam in Game 3 off my ace Alvarado...

    BSL Update: 2017 Divisional Series

    I'm a little surprised you went to the three man rotation. Cain was always one of my favorites in Cincy. His post-season record for me was 11-1, but granted, that was back when he was a 4.5 star SP. Still, I was hoping he'd get a chance to recapture some of that post-season magic! Although...

    BSL Update: 2017 Divisional Series

    Wow, road team won every game in my series with SF. My hitters were solid, putting up at least 4 runs in each of the five games. But SP Alvarado (2-0) was the main (okay, only) reason I won the series - stellar performances for the 25 year-old on the road in both Games 1 and 5. Now I have...

    BSL Update: 2017 End of Reg Season

    Reds exported. Happy to make the playoffs, but this might be the end of the line. I don't think I have much of a chance to beat SF. They won the season series against me 6-3 and my SPs have the highest ERA in the NL this year. Plus, my pythagorean record is not very good, indicating that my...

    BSL Update: 2017 #12

    Reds exported. Tough road trip travelling to PIT for three games this next SIM. If I can avoid getting swept, I'll feel pretty good about my chances to hold onto the division. Eric
