I loved Nipsey so much....and I had the pick in front of you with Nipsey ranked 3rd on my board...

I’m just a newbie and had my settings set so it wouldn’t take a doubtful in the 1R.

I wound up with a really nice pitcher for pretty modest $$ but it still hurts. At least I got this *stud* with my comp pick.

Edit: I saw Nipsey signed, and it doesn’t look like he will come near to the 95-84-89 ctrl/splits my 20 million scouts saw in him. Peraza is better right now and younger, although Nipsey will likely improve much more. Even though my sheer incompetence lead me to draft my #14 guy over my #3 guy, it is all going to work out fine.

Nipsy still looks close to my projections. Over 90 for control. Close to 95 for stamina but maybe only 20-21 for durability, 75’s for splits with a first pitch in the 90’s. Pretty much if he is a 3 or 4 SP that is a good draft picking in the 20’s.

cubcub, your guy I had ranked in the teens but then looking back at it I don’t remember why. When I look at him now I see the next Thomas Rosario from my team. And that is a pretty good spot to be.

For whatever it's worth, I had these two prospects ranked one right after the other. Flip a dang coin.

Did you have 20 in college?

I'm shocked how for off my scouts' predictions were for Nipsey and Peraza.

Had Peraza at 69 vsR and Nipsey at 86 vsR. Right now Peraza is 2 years younger and has a barely lower vsR!

They are both awesome picks for the 20s.

I always have 30 million in College. With the fuzzy ratings I try to get as reliable as possible. And that is still usually off.

$30M is pretty impressive. You'll have to send me that cheat code.

Admin released the cheat codes back when HBD first came out. I wish I had written down more of them, but I can always remember that one off the top of my head.

A few games into spring training and I accidentally demoted Player Profile: Gabriel Goya - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports to AAA. I have to wait the 10 days to promote him again, but will that demotion have any impact on him at all?

Patience 81. You might get lucky. Make sure he plays ST games.

Well it’s a good thing I listened to Damag. The idiot 3rd baseman https://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=10230182

took the first deal (which was 6 million)

what is the risk, that he might not resign when his contract is up?

He is fine. Nothing was hurt from you demoting him.

If he takes a demotion ratings hit, you'll know it immediately, with a "demotion" line in his ratings

That’s why you don’t offer those guys at all I guess

It’ll be fun to watch him strike out from the on deck circle in the minors.

He has a chance to become a platoon ML player. Probably AAAA, though.

I’m sure the answer is probably just Small Sample size but does anyone have any insight as to why my San Diego team is so bad at home?

I legit thought I built a world beater this season and my road record shows that (30-13) and while not shockingly abysmal I can’t believe we are 17-23 at home.

Yeah -- i would definitely let that play out. Probably just randomness of pitching or hitting. I checked your lineups and I don't see any guys in the heart of the order that are low average power hitters that would suffer from San Diego's park effects. Most of your guys are good hitters on top of having above average to great power.
