So... You think you can play baseball?

I'd be a dick like Jake Peavy or any other player that narrows his list down to 4-5 teams. Why sure, I'll only sign with Australia, Vice City, Kansas City, St. Louis or New Orleans. Muwhaha.

I'm already on Zito's team...maybe I will make a David Ryan III

[Kingdom]

It's not like I'm thrilled to have you.
Crazy could rename the David Ryan I have, so you don't have to be a third. Who likes thirds anyways?

I'll be happy to have you.

...unless you suck.

As active as I am, it would take me breaking my elbow or developing a nasty drug habit to derail my career. Or maybe an addiction to Peeps. The sugary goodness would certainly kill me. BUYER BEWARE

GF is right, you won't be able to hurt your player that way. The way you hurt him would be by not participating, which would stunt his growth. If you make him good enough to where he is a star, there really isn't anything that you can do at that point to hurt him. Also, even if there was a way to hurt him, there will be strict rules against tampering.

I'll think about the requesting a trade idea. I don't see anything really wrong with it, because as in real life, the GM doesn't have to listen to the player. They can just tell you to suck it up. Although, when your a free agent, you could negotiate a limited or non limited no trade clause in your contract.

I guess what I'm asking here is: can you ever be on your own team?

[NYgiantsfan5689]

No you're not allowed to be, that would not be fair

No you can't. That was my original intention when I said that you can't draft yourself. You can't trade for yourself or sign yourself or any of that. I may even keep you in different divisions or leagues from yourself. You know how I like realignment. lol

[Providence A's]

any thought to allowing each team to have 1 of the players? instead of putting the created players in the amateur draft, you could put them all into FA and have a board draft so each team gets 1 player. in addition to controlling your own player, you'd have one on your team as well...at least to start off anyway.

[Dam8610]

No you're not allowed to be, that would not be fair

It's fair to help another team by giving them a superstar, but not your own? How's that work?

If I would never be in the same division/league, I might still be interested, I know I'm not at all interested in helping a team in my division or league.

Because you could make yourself sign for a ridiculously cheap and unrealistic contract

[ljshorty89]

Remember Dam, you're controlling contract negotiations and everything.

[Dam8610]

Hey, if I was a great baseball player, I would sign a (comparatively) ridiculously cheap and unrealistic contract to play for the White Sox.

[ljshorty89]

Can I make Scott Boras my agent, Crazy? I promise I won't opt out during the World Series!
