I think they over value defense and more so speed.

London was in the running until the final sim or 2 last season, and should be improved this year. Our goal is to once again be competitive, and for this year a winning record. Hopefully better then 70 wins.

I have seen this many times in ootp, but I have no idea how to fix it. It eventually worked itself out when it happened, but again I have no idea why.

Sorry, I thought I had removed the team option for the 4th year. The buyout is fine.

Agreed, but that's another battle against the engine as the player creation modifiers are all at default. I'm not trying to shoot this idea down or anything, but if the problem is with the player creation mods., then shouldn't that be what we are looking at. If other major changes are made and the 'player creation' starts going in a more hitting direction then we will have tons of hitting instead. I guess I am repeating myself now, so I won't say anymore. I am playing regardless!

I am OK with anything that is decided, but I am still of the opinion that we have very few good contact hitters in the league, hence low batting averages. We have maybe 35-40% of the 7+ rated contact hitters that other leagues I am in have. The pitching on the other hand looks to be very similar in overall ratings, which will again result in lower batting averages.

Congrats to Paris, and a great run by Rio.

I am not so much against the change as afraid that it could have detrimental effect. If a change is decided on, perhaps something gradual in small steps?

I still think it's because the drafts have been slim on hitters, and this years draft looks much better in that regard to me. There seem to be more high star potential hitters this year then the last 2 in comparison to pitchers. I think it should be left alone as we are playing and making moves based on these 'numbers'. If we start monkeying with them that could all change, and not in good way in my opinion. To me it is all relative. the best re the best regardless of the actual numbers. I know I am in the minority here, but I just don't like it when leagues start messing with the numbers.

That is correct.

London sends $20M cash
to Paris for;
2nd and 5th rounders next draft.
Offered the same deal as to Santo Domingo.
Hopefully if I become strapped for cash in the future I might have a few markers out there now for some return assistance.

I took less then I could have since I would not have got this done without a few prompts.

I don't really have a strong opinion either way, but I do agree with this; there is SO much minor league talent

Bah, tried to post an image but no luck.
I have a player saying;
Please don't insult me with a minor legue offer. Let me restate my demands:
A minor league contract.

Hmmm, perhaps the issue has nothing to do with the underlying league numbers. Have you all looked at the teams? There are a total of two 8's and eight 7's in contact in the whole league. ( I only looked at starting lineups.) Nearly every team I look at has better pitching then hitting in my opinion. Either the draft hitting is weak, or hitters are not developing very well.
(IBL only)
ABL has 2) 8's and 11) 9's

No hornets nest as far as I am concerned. I am pretty opinionated, but I am quite aware that they are just my opinions and generally not shared by others. I love a good discussion and debate, and certainly never mean to offend or annoy anyone.
The only reason I said anything is that I'd prefer to wait and see if things 'average' out on their own before making any changes. I am in an online league thats been going for 13+ real years and 40+ years in game, and it has seen some fairly substantial stat changes over the years, and it does bounce around between hitting and pitching at times just as I think we should expect. The same things have been discussed in that league, but we never made any changes and things seemed to have worked themselves out each time.
Now if we are shooting for a specific era stats wise and consistantly not achieving it then I guess something may need to be done.

Baseball today is all about the hitting and homeruns. If you want to compare numbers to the past, homeruns are way way up and have been for 25+ years. Should we fix that by reducing the number of homeruns hit, or do we now call it the norm? (It's the norm now, everyone expects a ^%$#ton of homeruns.) Homeruns are great and all, but quite frankly they are BORING now that everybody and their brother can hit one by just being there and waving the bat around a bit. I guess it all comes down to expectations, and people today expect what they see today. I don't subscribe to that way of thinking, but then again I am older then the average ootp player.

My take: don't mess with anything. Nothing is broke. Everything is cyclical. Leave everything alone. Leagues will ebb abd flow just like real baseball. I see no issue at this point. The best are the best regardless of their actual numbers.

London may surprise some folks. I am not saying that we will be competitive quite yet, but we have quite a few young guys that are only (hopefully) going to get better as the season progresses.

I don't really have any target positions, except to perhaps exclude any major league or near ready catchers since I have Potla there.

I might have been able to get more for these 2 had I worked at shopping them, but I didn't thnk htis team was ready to go anywhere soon so backing up a bit seems like a good plan.
Good luck to Paris.
