BSL Draft is Complete....

[Hoyt55]

I have a couple of guys that were drafted that are not yet at their highest potential star rating (ie. one guy has 2 stars but his potential is 2 1/2 stars). Does this mean they still need some more seasoning and I should be placing those guys in the minors?

Like spartanfan said, if they're younger guys, a year or so in the minors might do them good and could help in their development.

But if they're somewhere along the age of 28 or 29, then they're probably not going to develop much and you might as well see what they can do in the bigs.

The Carlos Pena case in the last BSL was an extremely odd one. I think he had like a 16 "potential" power rating but was only around a 30 "actual" rating.

Los Angeles Dodgers have sent the FTP.

Teams I am missing before first review:

BAL, CLE, COL, HOU, LAD, MIL, MIN, NYM, PIT, SF, STL

Then we can get the next phase going.

I have the download done, but I havent gotten it unzipped yet. I will work on it this afternoon. I unzipped it to the wrong place the first time I think, and then said the heck with it and went to bed. I will ask for some help today. Thanks Pat

O's checking in. After a few struggles, I finally downloaded and unzipped the file in the right place. I started waiving a few people to make room in my minors. At midnight, and fully involved, I crawled into bed, my head swimming with many of the details you have all mentioned.

My main question at the moment is:

Other than dragging guys to release them into the lower white bar (I know this cannot be undone), can I move around the players to where I want (add to 25 roster, add to 40 man roster, to AAA to AA, etc...?)? In other words, tinker with where I want everyone, and when I finally decide, upload the FTP?

I'll do my best to upload the FTP tonight.

Todd i think you just wanna make sure not to add someone to the 25 or 40 man unless your are 100% sure you want them assigned a ML salray and start their arbitration clocks.

I guess what I am asking, is if I am playing with my lineup before I transmit and don't exit, can I pull the players around until I decide where to keep them?

 

[slavlite]

Im Not 100% sure, But I think Once you put a player onto Either the 25 man or 40 man roster the software desgnates that player to ML salary which starts the Arb Clock. So unless you are sure you want the player to paid ML salary I wouldnt put them anywhere but the minors.

Cory will need to confirm that though As I am only 90% sure about that info.

Todd...anyone on the 40 can be moved around...anyone w minor league deal i would just keep between aaa and aa

Thanks, I don't have a full 40 man roster, so I was just playing around with it.

Trying to fill everything up and get the numbers right.

Can't wait to finish it tonight!

Appreciate the help!

Team that have not yet loaded (I am aware some people are delayed for various reasons. We're not in a huge rush, but would like the first upload by the weekend if possible so I can see who has issues, etc.

If you see your name on this list and have uploaded (Mike, etc) go in and re-export to ftp and let me know you did.

BAL, CLE, COL, HOU, MIL, MIN, NYM, PIT, SF

Keep in mind the ONLY thing that teams HAVE to do this upload is:

1. Get players off your DFA (if you're waiving a player, put him on active roster, then drag to waivers AND DRAG BACK on DFA so his time resets.
2. Get MLB/AAA/AA to 25/25/35. ALL teams will have to release players to get to this limit.

After that, NOTHING else is required right away. We have PLENTY of opportunities to set lineups, etc.

If you have offered free agent contracts, they will be voided. The current free agent pool showing on your game is going to be deleted. The only free agents will be the players all teams are cutting and anyone released/not drafted afterward.

Can we continue to tinker and (re)FTP our rosters or just 1 time for now.
Also how long before we can start posting trades?
Hope I'm not rushing this, thank you again Cory for all your work on the BSL 1.0 and 2.0.

For the time being, until we get all of the teams in, please do not further modify your team or FTP more than the one time.

I want to get all teams up and going as far as uploading/downloading, then we can get into the more advanced features.

As far as trades go, we need to hold off for a while. I am still going to be training Nick regarding what all needs to be done.

Maybe I'm missing something, when I try to "export team by FTP" I get the following message "could not open file. Error -201: Connect error"

Edit: I can save the file to my computer, so I could attach it to an e-mail, but it just doesn't connect to the internet on it's own.

 

[OriolesFan8]

HELP!

I was going in, making all of my changes. Was pretty much done when I get an error and have to shut down the game (it locked up). I did not export yet.

Now when I re-enter the game, it says there are no saved games. Don't tell me I have to unzip again and start over?

Try closing your game entirely and re-loading. The FTP settings are the same for everyone so it may just be a server glitch.
