    After having one of the worst defenses in the AL i'm hoping the signings of Hunter Pence and Tony Campana sures up the outfield.

    I swear.. Must be nice to have money to throw around like Aagistar and the Red Sox.

    My FA is complete. Spend a ton of money on the bullpen. I have no offense to speak of, but pitching and defense is solid!

    I laughed out load when I saw you signed him. In the one deal we were talking about right before the deadline, I suggested that I needed to send a player off my 40 man as part of that trade so I didn't have to pay the salary and it was Below I was looking to send. You balked and didn't want him at that price. He only cost 480k at the time. hehehe

    new patch is out..

    do we download it now? or wait til after the sim?


    http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boa...pdate-version-13-4-17-released-july-13th.html

    Here is the list of fixes / improvements in version 13.4.17 compared to version 13.3.9:

    • Added a feature that enables online leagues to broadcast the real-time simulation screen to the league website as a real-time report, so league members can watch the league being simulated live
    • Added a "Check teams for roster violations" function to the commissioner home screen
    • Added the ability to edit "Projected Budget"; if set, all future budgets of a team can remain constant
    • Added a "GM only” mode (in manager options) that prevents the human GM from winning the manager of the year award or appearing in the manager-related history reports
    • Added the ability to add leagues to and remove them from existing associations
    • Added a "Reset all Injuries & DL status" function to the league setup screen
    • Added a "Reset Player Fatigue" function to the league setup screen
    • Added a "Reset Player Morale" function to the league setup screen
    • Added a "Reset Compensation Type of all Free Agents" function to the league setup screen
    • Added an option in the league setup screen to disable automatic Hall of Fame inductions
    • Added two new player split stat categories, "As Starter" and "As Reliever / Substitution"; these only work for the current season, though
    • Added coach pictures to the team personnel screen
    • Added player pictures to the in-game player profile screen
    • The payroll between the start of the offseason and the date of free agent filings is now a projection rather than the salaries from the just finished season, resulting in more accurate projected budgets and funds available
    • Shortlisted players are now highlighted by having their name displayed in upper case in player lists
    • Players discovered through international scouting will now accept minor league contracts if they are very young and years away from reaching the majors
    • Improved various aspects of the in-game and roster AI
    • Fixed several bugs
