...that this game is fast becoming an obsession. Been playing steadily for just over a week now, and I see/learn something new every time.
Such as...
...that international FA with (seemingly) tons of potential who wanted only 590K as a signing bonus. Hurry, make him an offer! Oh what? He's heard from LA? Okay, how about 750K. What? Now he's heard from PIT too? Um, okay make it 900K. Erm...now CHI is in on it? Dammit, here's 1.2M. (Which he finally took. I'll laugh my ass off at myself if he busts.)
...the 28-year-old SP with 10 ratings across the board who's ANGRY he's in AA (and sporting a fine 5.35 ERA) since he expects to be in the majors.
...there really is a guy named Fenway Parks. And I drafted him. I hope HOPE HOPE he makes it to the bigs.
Seriously, even as a former baseball nut who's been away from the game for a couple decades (the 70s and early 80s were the "golden years" of baseball for me), I still have to ask OOTP WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
