Sell or keep

Kent814 · 11-02-2015, 10:11 AM

I have a 1B who has been producing for years, without the ratings that would support those numbers. Should I sell before he has a bad season, or should I keep the hot hand?

If you didn't have the ratings, what would you do?

But, to the OP:

Are you using scouts, or are those his actual in-game ratings? If you have scouts on, how are your scouts? Could be, your scouts are just inaccurate.

Then too, how is your farm system? Do you have a good, fresh young first baseman that could take his place very soon?

How's your budget? How much is that guy making? What can you get in return? Are you trying to make the playoffs and win it all, or are you rebuilding?

In short: it totally depends.

1. Since its the iOS game, there is no scouts

2. I just want a player based decision not based on team needs. He is in his last year before FA btw.what in really asking is should i bet that he has at least one more year of productivity or should i sell him before i lose him for nothing and he has a bad year so i dont het compensation

What's your home park like?

Not enough info to help really.
He is producing and that to me is far beyond whatever the ratings say...
There are so many settings in OOTP that it would be helpful to have a bigger picture of them.
I love mr. consistent players in OOTP they tend to stay good for a while and he is only 30.

What's his contract looking like?

paul.m.w. · 12-18-2015, 08:23 AM

I would dump him before he comes down to earth...

If his overall and potential are that low, how much could you really get for him.

Though if it's a park thing, and you play in a big hitters park, then you might be able to replicate the numbers with another below average 1b
