Howe has moved over to a division rival leaving a powerful MLB team open in Colorado. Please let me know if you had interest in this job.

I would like to formally submit my interest in the open Rockies GM position for FGM.

i have an interest
-
Dave, you are not eligible. You need to serve your GM spot for a year. We'll allow you to go 8-9 months and switch, but you just started with the Angels this year.
-
Yea Reid...... Atta a boy. you would be a great fit here
-
Internal applicants will be open for at least 50 more hours due to our new policy.

thank you Corey
-
Please allow me to put my name in for those interested. Once a list of finalists is comprised I will make a final decision.
-
I would like to be considered for the Rockies GM opening
-
Scratch that, after looking over the roster, that team is unsustainable financially... I will stay with the Reds, and my new first baseman.
-
With there being only one internal applicant in 72 hours, the new GM of the Rockies is now Chris Calcia! Congrats!
-
unsustainable financially? what the...
-
I looked at all the money you had coming on the books next year plus your budget was decreasing
-
A great honor but can I stay in SD? Call me nuts but I think moving away from this project effects me morally. I am attached to the scrubs. And nobody will want to take them over...and Colorado is set for a while. I have plenty of other teams with great things happening now.

fanguru....Reid

Sure. I knew I should have verified it with you. Rockies will now go to the waiting list.

So does this mean I get the Rocks Colby?

It just means we go to the waiting list. You are third on the list, so it will depend on what the two above you say. The first two on the list have notified me to hold off on them.
-
fair enough
-

No big deal. And I def appreciate the offer. Just thought Colorado wasn't the right fit for me, not enough attachment to merit the transition. I am actually a little attached to my team. Jurrjens looks like a bonafide Ace this season.
-
are we still needing a GM? i have a friend that plays in my other leagues that wants in if so.

We have a waiting list that has had three quality members respond. I am awaiting kangol's official response and will make a decision by tomorrow.

ok just thought id ask if we ever need another let me know he is a great owner like myself

Please tell him to apply via the waiting list. He could advance past others if proved himself at ProFSL and gave good enough reasons. While ProFSL activity does not count for internal transfers (just FGM activity), it does count for people on the waiting list.

Reid Beard (fantasyguru) is being hired by the Rockies due to his advanced fantasy baseball experience and activity at ProFSL. There was another promising candidate who will hopefully be there the next time an opening calls. Congrats Reid and welcome to the league!

thank you and I wanted to say good luck to fantasy nightmares and kangol in terms of getting a team in here next. I am ready to turn the Rocks financial situation around.

why does everyone think the Rockies are in such a bad shape?
-
hahahahahahahaha

That's kind of funny... decent looking team to me.
-
I was just going off of what Dan Wood was saying, but I am going thru rules and setting my lineup right now anyway.

The Rockies were the hands down favorites to run away with the league going into the season, you've inherited yourself a great franchise. Welcome aboard and best of luck to you.
:toth:
-
Welcome to the league, looking forward to competing against you.
setting my lineup right now anyway.
I dont think you will need to change your lineup too often, depth is not one of COL's strength :koolaid:
-
The Rockies are a veritable all-star team. There is nothing wrong with their finances that one good deal would not fix, and I'm not even sure that would be necessary. I would have taken the team myself if I were not completely opposed to the idea of benefitting from someone's else hard work.

Gents,
I can personally see why this is the original PROFSL. The passion each of you has shown day in and day out since the first day of the league is tremendous. I can see this league has a low turnover rate and Colby has a good one in Franchise GM. I have read the dialogue about other owners changing teams after taking over somewhere else and also about other things in this child board. The activity and determination each of you has shown tells me I have joined a great league and the competition will be fierce. Whatever the circumstances surrounding the Rockies are, I can assure you I do not plan on ripping apart the team for awhile until I see what works and dosen't work. I plan on winning in each league I am in. I trade to win now and specs are not as big a part of my arsenal as they may be for others other than to try and get the elite players. That is a little bit about me. Thanks to everyone for the chance.
-
Welcome Reid. another great guy and owner and gm has been brought into FGM.
:koolaid:
-
Let me rephrase...
I have been the Rockies #1 supporter since the off-season. Howe to a helleva job assembling that team. That being said, if I were to take it over, I would not be able to keep the guys I would want to going forward. So not financially unsustainable, but for me it would be.
Reid, welcome to the league, hope you can back up your name...
-
Welcome aboard.

I see the Rockies in terrific cap shape for the future.
Belt .5
Wright 9
Zimmerman 9
Tulo 5
Pods 7
J-Up 6.5
Lester 6
Teheran .5
That's 43.5m through at least 2013 on the core of that team leaving nearly 50m on re-signing guys like Bruce. How is that team in bad shape financially? We should all be in such bad shape!
-
You are forgetting all the money paid out for next year
Plus
Chris Young(9 mil)
AJ Burnett (10 mil addition)
and substantial raises to Clay Bucholz and Jay Bruce (about 20 mil combined if resigned)
it's a lot less than 50 million going forward...
I'm not saying it is a bad team whatsoever, I'm saying that come post 2013, it is going to be rather different...maybe even come 2012.
-
There's something with the COL roster, 3M is paid by ATL throughout 2012.
Bucholz could be signed at 4M a year for 5 years.
I gotta admit, Burnett's contract is tough, but, he was exchanged for Mauer who was making the same amount.
-
Burnett can be cut after the trade deadline, and the cap hit next year is only 50% of his salary (25% in 2013). It's not like he's any good, and I say that as a tried and true Yankee fan my entire life.
-
Yeah he does stink out loud
-
Thanks for the idea and I might do just that. Burnett is a thorn in my side as he is the 1 player I'd LOVE to dump.
