April 18, 200619 yr I'll give it a shot, but I don't really know what I'm doing. How do I even sign up to manage a team on this thing? Do I just submit an application and see what happens? Edited April 18, 200619 yr by ZoomSlowik

April 20, 200619 yr Alright, I have a question for some OOTP veterans. I just inherited a pretty bad team. In an attempt to pick up some young talent, I'm trying to trade Andruw Jones, who's still a pretty solid player despite some drawbacks (31 years old, 4-48 contract). What kind of talent should I expect to receive in return? Can I get two strong, near-major league ready prospects with high star ratings? If I can get two high star guys but one of them is an A-ball guy with a ways to go, should I go for it? What about one decent major league pitcher and a roughly AA-level 4 star prospect? I could use whatever advice you guys can give me.
April 20, 200619 yr Jones is still pretty damn good and the contract shouldn't be a huge deal seeing how most every team in the league has a ton of cash saved up. You should be able to get atleast two damn good prospects for him. 1 atleast should be major league ready. If you can get a very good young major league player and a high rated lesser developed spect for him then you should be happy as well. Jones should come at a high price tag and there should be numerous takers, don't settle for less than you think he's worth. EDIT: I just took another look at Jones and I'm surprised, his ratings have actually gone up since he's joined the D-Backs. You should be able to get a very good package for him, probably more than I said you could get. Edited April 20, 200619 yr by Kalapse
April 20, 200619 yr I noticed the money thing, that is ridiculous. Everyone has at least like $80 mil, and I've got like $25 mil. What constitutes a "damn good prospect." Like 4.5 stars? Is getting a 2.5 star major-league SP worth the effort? Edited April 20, 200619 yr by ZoomSlowik

What constitutes a "damn good prospect." Like 4.5 stars? Is getting a 2.5 star major-league SP worth the effort? You should be able to get a very good 3.0 SP for him along with like a 4.5/5.0 well rated spect. There's a pretty big difference between a 2.5 and a 3.0 SP. A damn good prospect is a 5.0 spect with high talent ratings.

April 20, 200619 yr I turned Tampa Bay into a 100 win team on the old one. I don't have the heart to play since.
April 20, 200619 yr Zoom, If you would like feel free to PM me on either board and Ill give you some advice. In my opinion there are 2 different schools of thought on Major League talent star ratings. Some people subscribe to starss, some people subscribe to ratings. I am in the latter, so if the 2.5 star pitcher has better ratings than the 3.0 pitcher I like the 2.5 pitcher better. Stars is more dependent on actual performance from what I can tell. To everyone else, If anyone is interested in helping a team out Im getting really busy and do not have the time to put into my team that I used to. So I would be looking for some one to help me get deals done etc. My team is Oakland.
