I would venture to say turnover is not just infrequent, but decreasing. It's hard to get enough good owners for a full MLB league, but we've been filling teams with quality owners over time and the good ones seem to stick around.
I think FGM is a privilege not a right. I think we should mandate that new members be inhouse vets in one league here at ProFSL...no outside recommendations.
Well, then I would have never been apart of this league, and if I am not mistaken you wouldn't be apart either of it either...~MTK
And Chris to answer your question, the guy who had the Padres, bid on two players, won them, never showed up again, you can thank him for Branyan and Cameron. The guy who had the Reds before me did nada - didn't even attempt to get Drew Stubbs - he was a Pirate (that period when there was 6 active GMs shopping from the Baseball America Christmas list). The Rangers guy never bid on any of his prospects. A lot of team started without their top prospects, who are now in the major leagues. So a good majority were starting short handed, some of us just did a better job than others with what we had. You know, the people still hanging around.
That was his real life contract... seriously... he used to be really good... seriously
The Mets are in good shape because the team is not mortgaged to the limit with bad contracts and they have a decent farm.They not competitive, but a new gm has a good canvas to work with. It will take some work.
We may have two recommendations for bigbenxl786. We are at the point where we agree that the overhaul needs to be made to the hiring process. Some collective ideas...Having guys on the waiting list is one thing, but we need at least three recommendations from members in FGM.Instead of a two-week no moves period, have a moves review period not for an extended time, but for a certain amount of moves such as the first 10 drops, 5 trades, 5 FA bids as well as the first three extensions. It may be a bit excessive, but we could track this in a GM watch post in the transactions board. The post would have that members' ProFSL name. Members of the EC, in addition to the TC (for trades), will review the moves to make sure they are for the good of the franchise and that the new GM understands the rules.We could always not allow a team to trade a Type A/B FA or a top 100 prospect, but that may be too much tracking. A general dedicated review may be better.
