How is his arm strength and accuracy?

76 strength and 61 accuracy

My guess is that it would be a disaster just like if you play a lefty at 2B, 3B, or SS but it would be an interesting experiment.

I did it a few seasons ago with this guy to decent results:

Player Profile: Aneury Cortez - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports

no errors, 1 PB in 131 innings with a CERA of 3.85. He threw out 6 of 18 SB attempts

his 3B fielding experiment has been a disaster

Has anyone else seen this? I was bidding on an IFA, had the lead on him at $16 mil. Someone beat me.
Bumped my bid to $19 mil. Player rejected the contract, too much money.
Dropped back to $17 mil. Someone was offering more.
Offered $18 mil. Rejected again, too much money.
$17.5 mil, still too much money.
Bid $17.1 mil, now I had the lead, and I signed him at $17.1 mil.

I've seen players reject Big League contracts before, but I never had a player where I found an upper limit of what he was willing to accept.

Yeah. I saw it for the first time recently -- he said something about being afraid of getting booed out of stadium due to high expectations.

So they are doing stuff behind the scenes without telling us. Never seen that before.

Seen small changes as well that I thought were just blips but now looks like its legit planned changes.

All easily explainable by the fact that there's only one programmer, far as I know. And he's tinkering with things that he wasn't one of the original developers on, again, as far as I know.

Could ***** about the very notion of that, but this is all we've got and we have to live with it.

I hate changes like this. Its b.s. in my opinion

Be careful. Seble will threaten to ban you fan from the game.

If you trade for a prospect who is at the AAA level do you have to keep him at that same level when he is first on your roster in order to avoid a demotion hit or are you free to put him on the AA team?

You can put him at any level safely.

I wish they would give more frequent bumps to minor league teams that make the playoffs. Everyone keeps saying they see the bumps but I never see it.

1 bump if your team plays in 2 rounds or 6 games, 2 bumps if they play all the way to the WS or 14 games?
1/16/2020 10:20 AM
From what I understand, you don't get more bumps but rather larger ratings increases with each bump.

With that being said about tinkering behind the scenes...………..has anyone else noticed a large uptick in injuries? My last season I saw injuries like I had never seen before. At one point I had 4-5 guys on the 60 DL and 3 on the 15 DL, and that was just at my ML level and in 1 world. Yes, I have a $18-19 MM budget in training and medical.
