as for verlander, make him B hits, A walks...you require a 5 million investment to make him truly elite, but as is, he cant be improved TIA wise...make Good harder to obtain, Brilliant more likely, at least for the elites Completely concur with this. Ehh if the H/9, HR/9 and BB/9 ratings only dictate "Good" for talent, then that's fine, but there is absolutely no reason why Verlander should not have "A" for duration.

Also people need to stop looking at prospect stars. These guys have solid ratings. Spend some of that board cash to make them better. I've said it before and I'll say it again... I deflate ratings in the draft because you guys have the power to make players better. If there was no board cash then yes, these guys would be a little better. basically that punishes the weak teams though...because the guys at the top of the draft shouldnt necessarily require that commitment, but you do....in this draft, a guy at 9 is going to be the equivalent of a guy I got at the beginning of round 2 in 1999...thats pretty awful... Have fun with the drafts, make stipulations, prevent certain players from being camped, or Pd reversed, and alter their ratings to suit...these drafts arent just awful...they are boring and predictable as well That would require me to think all of that out and keep track of it. Don't have time for that nor do I have interest in that. Sorry.

Sorry. not hard for the spends person to mark that down.....they just mark the player as PD reversed prior to them being reversed...same with Camps...you did this with Ichiro

I will do the drafts if it means we can have fun with them. I'll run everything through you and you have final alteration. I'll do all the hard work.

the only time investment on your end is, having to state that originally when posting the file...on the other hand, you can have fun with the player you make as well...he doesnt havve to be precisely what your formulas say because you are making him...

just have them do it to your formulas, let people nominate a few special prospects, you choose the ones you use...then you just have to edit those few guys

We didn't do well because you gave us a retarded time limit.

Need to wait on the Dodgers pick. He traded it to Atlanta, but the trade was void. Give them time to work it out.
