2055/2056 player age 30 and under save thread

[HollywoodLeo]

Each team will get 1 save of a prospect or a player 30 years or under. This only applies to a season-ending or career-ending injury. You only get 1 for 2055 and 2056 so use it wisely. Once it has been processed (at the end of the season for career/season enders, right away for pointless prospect drops) it cannot be changed. You can change your mind before that time should you get another injury to a better player, or decide against using it. This does not eliminate a season-ending injury, it only protects from talent and rating loss that may result from the injury. Career enders will be edited to season enders.

Conversely, you can also burn your save on an almost ready-to-ready under-25 prospect who dies for no reason whatsoever even if no injury is involved.

The criteria that must be met to use it in this instance are as follows

1. Player is 25 years old or younger at the time of the talent hit
2. You have not already used your designated save
3. The player is at least close to MLB ready (judgment call by me)
4. If it is an offseason talent drop when the player isn't even playing criteria #3 is negated
5. If you don't save the player by the rollover you are accepting his new ratings as is. No retrospective saves allowed.

However, choose this one wisely because in these instances the restoration will be immediate, as opposed to the end of the season (meaning you have zero opportunity to change your mind).

Here is the format:

team name
position - player name
ratings at the time of injury
talent ratings at the time of injury

Post here if/when the situation should arise.

(Prospects from the current year's draft get free saves should they lose talent within the first two sims after the draft)

Career ender. (I can change my mind if someone else is hurt before the year's over, right?)

This is for this year and next year. So i'd probably just let that guy go.

[HollywoodLeo]

You can change your mind anytime between now and the end of the season, but if I fix him and roll the season over to 2056 it's official and you don't have one for 2056.

do comp picks get included in drafted player saves?

[LJMets1989]

That's what I thought. I only listed him as a placeholder. I've never actually used one of these before.

[PhillyFan]

With the luck of most people in this league, you'd use it on him this year. Then your best guy would die next year with no save available.

Yeah, just barely (age)

Have opted NOT to use my save on that minor league closer. Edited the earlier post to say so. Thanks.

OK. Well, out of fear for a season-ender or career-ender next season, I will have to pass on using it.

I forgot to do this and he retired so I edited this guy to exactly match his ratings/info/contract

If the game makes him default to league minimum next season due to no MLB service time (assuming no extension) I'll cut him from your team at the end of the year since he was signed through 2056 before the injury/retirement.
