UGH. I would've taken him #1 if I'd even known this was a possibility. A long time ago, I didn't think something like this would ever happen. But with all the lulls and draft delays and everyone sticking around despite all that, I had to reward you guys big. And I feel your frustration there. But between you beating me in the 72 World Series in 7 games (when I had I think a 3-1 lead) and me having Straw, I'd trade him for a 2nd ring in a heartbeat. I'm still disappointed I blew that lead. Yeah, but you know how this looks, right? I assumed Strawberry was going to be a stud in the draft. When he wasn't, I took Tartabull (who, at the time, was a more complete player), and Strawberry (a player you've mentioned liking) fell to you. Now, the reason why Tartabull was better than Strawberry is defunct, and Strawberry is clearly the better player. I joked during the draft that you artificially dropped Strawberry so he'd fall to you, and now you've artificially risen him back up. And since there's nothing comparable I can do with Tartabull, you've essentially swapped picks with me from the previous draft. You get the best player, and I get the 2nd/3rd best (assuming LA would've made the same pick). I legitimately don't think you're trying to cheat, but it just looks fishy. You get the player you wanted, and now he's upgraded. You made the draft, and then you made this rule change. Again, I don't think this was coordinated, but it definitely looks bad. And if this is somehow karmic payback for winning in 72...I'm...sorry? |

I don't want you leaving or feeling this frustrated. |

Nah, again, I don't really think you did it to cheat. It's just annoying and looks bad IMO. No worries, I know you're just trying to help out.

I'll even undo the straw increase and put it on Von Hayes which I honestly was gonna do before realizing I had straw. I don't care about straw like that and I'm sorry the timing looks shitty.

Seriously, it's all good. Just venting.
I'll do walks for 1B Mattingly.

when this first came out i laughed too cause it was the perfect thing for Strawberry to become a stud.
now im sure thats not the reason he did this, its kinda on the back of the super nice reward in BBSBL so im sure he just decided to continue the trend here.
Its works for everyone really, im sure Shale benefits a ton from it, but so do i garrlets becomes a legit ace no question now and im sure many other teams benefit in the same sort of way.

I had actually been planning this maybe a week or so before Break posted the BBSBL brilliant reward. To be honest, I PM'd Spence and Break suggesting them to give a nice big holiday gift such as a free TIA and Spence then came up with the brilliant talent reward, which Break of course went with. |

Real talk though, I was more than half baked when I came up with this talent increase holiday gift and I didn't think about which player I'd even want to use it on until I glanced through my top 10 spect list. And because I was more than half baked, the first name I noticed was Von Hayes when skimming down the list, so I told myself I'd just go with him and didn't even bother looking further at Straw til maybe the following day.
I'm just laughing at myself at how I went about putting this together both as an event and for my own usage.
