From completely crapping the bed in Cup play to overpriced players underperforming I decided to say "to hell with it" and promote everyone that the AI suggested, save for one guy that really isn't ready, like 75SI. Anyway, we'll see what happens. Should be fun.

Takes some guts to play him with his probable underdeveloped scouting haha! (the total collapse of anyone else put in that #5 spot combined with minor league numbers is what really got him the job haha.) Sometimes you have to look at just the results and block out all the rest and just play the man. Last year wild thing was our duct tape this year hopefully Barbosa can get us through the interdiv play. Digging deep on the roster to find a pitcher lol.

I've dumped about $17M in salary and promoted 7 players who were suggested by the AI. We'll see what happens with their progression. I'm expecting to relegate but hoping for the best. It's my own version of the White Flag Trade of 1997.

You deserve some pay back!! Well done.. My guy was a home grown drafted 20 SI guy but he had a good report. He also has always had good numbers despite his abysmal looking SI.It was much easier to stick with him. Not easy to play him now mind you but like dsz071 said...once you throw a fit and sack your over paid guys, there is a lot less choice.

The only reason Duncan isn't also cutting his teeth is the sheer number of LHPs ahead of him on my ML roster. I have by far the most LHPs in Legends, and there just wasn't a spot for Duncan (that said I think Duncan's current owner is really dropping the ball by leaving him in the minors, but it is his own foot he is shooting). Allen was really kept to see whether the high control, high CoS build (ie good potential with no other comments) could work in Legends, and early returns are positive and have me fairly confident that a build I have promoted for years actually is more competitive than most top owners actually believe.

He gave up a ton of home runs and I never felt comfortable putting him in a high leverage position. Maybe he was particularly doomed being a lefty starter. And maybe I gave up too soon and he'll turn out great... if so I'll have to find the thread about making terrible mistakes

There are many examples of lefty starters that can flat out dominate, but your average run of the mill 12 potential lefty is going to struggle in a starting role against good right handed hitters, in the same way guys like Allen will struggle against good left handed bats.
