BSL Update: 2020#3: Preseason Midpoint

[cjay101]

League Files are up. No website this sim.

Free Agents are starting to dwindle down, should be some major competition for a few remaining big fish.

Last chance this sim to adjust your player development budgets for the season.

Mike (texas) has been sent instructions for setup, so next sim will be delayed until I received a valid export from him. Export deadline for all other teams will be Thursday at noon central.

If the player message issues from last sim persist, please post. I have researched and been unable to locate any reasons why the game did it. I did see offers in game from almost all teams before the sim, so they are getting through.

Dang Cory got the SS I wanted!!!! Oh well Detroit got Wyatt guess we are fair!!! Made some trades to drop some salary and immediate impact! Hope it doesn't throw the white flag but excited for Combs/Cummings/Dunn/W.Guttirez and future of the team can't wait for the rookie draft to add more talent have so many bums in my minors.

 

[pltcards]

what for dunn and combs, we know they will be gone in no more than 2 sims. lol

 

[redsoxfan1979]

Mets exported. Made a few offers lets see how it goes.

 

[spartanfan1]

Bummer - Bobby Jenks signed in Seattle. I made an offer and was hoping to have him back for his 14th season with the Reds. He was my 8th round pick in the original draft and he was a rock in my bullpen every year. The fans in Cincy really liked him - all 270 lbs!

Cory,

Just to let you know. I just got off the phone with Mike and he tried to download the file you said to download and he received an error. He said it was only half way done after 3 hours. I told Mike something must have been wrong because it shouldn't take that long. I know it is a big file but not that big.

He will try again tonight if he has time but he has family coming in from out of town here starting tonight so he may not have much time. He doesn't want to hold things up for everyone else.

I see Posey decided he liked Atlanta better than Detroit.

Tigers have exported and made a couple of offers, let's see if we can make a bigger splash other than a Starlin Castro

The initial zip file is something like 774MB now, it is gigantic. The folder is necessary to start up. If it fails again, I will try to re-upload it, although it does take quite a while to do so.

 

[HeboAlan]

Any word if Mike got setup and ready to roll with Texas?

 

[cjay101]

The sim will likely be on Sunday. I am out of town Fri/Sat.

 

[HeboAlan]

Boom!
