2067/2068 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, and prospect talent losses that meet the criteria below. You only get 1 for 2067 and 2068 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 three sims after the draft)

Saves burned

Please save Baltimore Oriole Brad Armbuster-SP. He is 20 with 10-10-9 talent and 9-5-5 actual... He is currently the #3 prospect.

Unfortunately, he seems to have torn a tricep in Spring Training.

This is my first save ever. LOL.

Actually Jeff Haff is still out for 3 more weeks. I'll wait to use it until after the injury.

[Bizkit]

Good thing I waited.

Cory Matthews was 9-9-9-10-10

Does Skip Stone qualify for a free off season fix?

I had a player get a season ending injury in Spring training so not sure if that's a free save or not. If it isn't i'll save him.

Colorado
LF Juan Gavino
Current: 8-7-9-5-8

Not sure if he's lost anything yet.

They're not free during ST since that's more feasible than multiple offseason injuries across the league.

I'll double check an old file to see if he's already lost anything, but I don't think he has since there's nothing on the development page.

As per the save rules this doesn't heal his injury, it just protects him from losses. (So if he doesn't suffer any you can retract this use at the end of the season...or simply use it on someone else if he does but someone more important takes a hit while accepting his)

[HollywoodLeo]

I'm going to hold off on saving Cooper til the end of the season (in case Mission dies or something) but placing this here as a self-reminder.

With his 7 contact he qualifies as a near-ready prospect.

What was Barney before his talent hits?
Tuesday 4/25/2068 :
James Barney has lost some power...
James Barney seems to have lost some bat speed, resulting in less contact...
James Barney plate discipline seems to have faded...

a big loveable purple dinosaur?

Nah, he was a midget caveman with no neck and no whites in his eyes.
