Starting the roster work for TPSL pt 2 today, and the current roll-call...

[mntwinsfan]

Looks like there will be 4 teams open when Crimson and Bernie take a team. We may have missed someone in the thread though. Looks like we will be full or damn close to it.

[OrioleMagic]

If Crimson or Bernie want the O's I can take NYM, Mil, Was in that preferred order. I love the O's but have won 3 OOTP WS with them and am more looking for a new challenge. That is if those three teams are still open... If I get the last team, it's cool.

I talked to Nick... List me as the Mets GM. Thanks.

Wouldn't mind random. That would be really interesting. Question about rosters though: Are the players selected in the draft going to be there, i.e will Wieters be on Baltimore?

Yup, the 1st and maybe 2nd round (definitely all of the first, maybe the notables in the 2nd), will all be on their respective teams.



I've signed every free agent that was in the 2006 offseason free agent pool. Now I'm going team by team assembling their 25-man, and releasing players that need be released and assigning them to the right team. I'm on Detroit right now in descending order to give you guys an idea of where it's at... and I've been working on it for about an hour and a half. So it's breezing by.

I know it's kind of silly to do 25-man rosters, when every team's GM is going to be making call-ups and whatnot, but I want them to look presentable. And I've got the time and enjoy doing this.

Once I'm done with the 25-man rosters, I'm going to go through the current 150 prospects in baseball, and enter in the ones that aren't in already and modify the ones that need fixing.

Then everything's set!



Also, a note...

I've decided I'm going to enter in the trades and releases/signings, but not contract extensions, up until the all-star break.

So I am going to include the Barrett trade, Milton Bradley trades, Mike Maroth signing with the Cardinals, Tomo Ohko in the free agent pool, Scott Williamson in the FA pool, etc... because I was including other trades close to the time period, and if I don't include all of them, it's just too sketchy as to what's including, and what's not without a strict cut off date, and then it becomes too confusing.

So no extensions (Hafner, Buerhle, Ichiro, etc), but all trades and moves up until basically the all-star break are going to be in the game.

[DravenX]

Sounds good. Also sounds like a lot of work is involved.

[Halladay_is_God]

great job nick

[bjd2933]

what teams are open? i wouldnt mind the dodgers

[bjd2933]

Just read back... im totally for random teams.

[Doppelgänger]

you could also let people pick the teams they want, but randomize the rosters.

[CrimsonTribe]

As far as I'm concerned I'm third in line for the O's. Both OM and bernie have seniority over me, plus bernie is the incumbent. If both of them turn the O's down, I'm all in. If not, I'd be happy w/ Anaheim or Texas (or other open AL team) and if that's not possible, then going back to San Fran is fine.

[Providence A's]

what about compensation picks? You mentioned that 1st round picks and maybe 2nd round picks would be included. Will the compensation picks be included? Those are more important than the 2nd round picks IMHO...but if you can include the 1st, comp, and 2nd that would be cool.

Good work so far bro...keep it up man.

[DMBZeppelin]

I'm happy with the rosters being current to the All-Star break with the draft current. Plus if Nick lets me have the Cubbies. I can finally let Pie be the Cub's lead off hitter. Under the assumption he's close to ML ready in the sim. As he's borderline ready in real life as his MLB stats indicate.

[Porter]

Buherle's Extension was before the break. other than that. its cool.

I'm pretty positive at this moment in time I'm taking the Dodgers... being co-GM, the two teams I had interest in were Dodgers and Pirates, and I think I like the Dodgers a tad more. If you don't mind that is... if you're deadset on the Dodgers, I can find someone else, but I kinda wanted them. But we can work shit out always.

Current list of teams so far:

Milwaukee - browntown
Pittsburgh -
St. Louis - krush

NL West:

We have 8 teams, and 8 people left to choose.

Remaining teams:

Sanfran, Colorodo, Arizona, Philadelphia, Washington, LAA, Baltimore, Texas

Reamaning GMs:

Shadow, Witlon, Bernie, Crimson, BJD, Hammer, Dawkins, doppledanger


This is assuming that Brownton and Mofo are sticking with the Brewers and Astros, which was up in limbo as of the other day, but seemed likely.

In either case, the amount of remaining teams and people matches up perfectly. We just need to work it out from here.

Pie's rated pretty nice... he's got nice potential atleast, and plays great defense. #1 spect in the Cubs farm. Don't know if he's ready to lead off though. He's 7-6-2 current, I believe.


Donnie Veal and others are going to be on the farm too. Lots of updates that weren't on previous OOTP rosters will be on this set.
