Ced Joined: 11/07/2014 Posts: 619 Denver Broncos IV.4 | Say you draft a player, and no matter of if it was a catch and release or if it was you cut him at age 34 after being your just total club legend 300 career homers dude, but when he had maybe a little bit more gas in the tank but you axed him anyway. Say that time comes when he does get claimed or signed as a free agent. Do you want him to continue to do well even if it means your projection and evaluation of him was incorrect? Or do you want him to struggle and never ever reach the potential or form he was in while wearing the colors of your ball club, proving to all participants that no player is indispensable. |

jedi77 Joined: 02/21/2018 Posts: 3 Inactive | I want them to perform at their potential, I hate when i give three or four seasons to a hyped home grown prospect, and they don't play as expected, then cut them, and see them be stars for other teams... But I do the same!! (take advantage of good players with mediocre or bad performance) I pick a lot of pitchers that way: Barry, had a great season for me last year (he's old tho) Hank, now properly develop in the minors, not elite but decent for the rotation. |

Coolhand Joined: 03/27/2017 Posts: 73 Inactive | Most players I don't even make an attempt to see how they do once I move on from them. There have been a couple that I decided to keep for the extra year just so they could retire in a Manta Ray uni. | ||

lostraven Joined: 07/02/2016 Posts: 1268 Corvallis Ravens III.1 | I tend to: 1. Want them to at least make it on another team so I can ... 2. More or less neutrally observe them from afar. If there's a learning experience to be had in the observations, even better. Perhaps that's overly scientific and not emotional enough. But I do keep regular check on guys I've cut to see if they're playing and performing as I expected them to when I cut them. |

dsz071 Joined: 09/12/2015 Posts: 334 Inactive | There are certain players I go back and check out from time to time. I've been doing it less and less lately though because all it does is prove to me how stupid I am at this game. | ||

Brewnoe Joined: 03/25/2014 Posts: 814 Fall River Naughty Dawgs III.3 | Kaniela "Kahuna" Keahi Still wishing him the best. He might have finally beat out Jesse Galvin at DH this year ... glad he got playing time before now If he gets cut ... I'm game to bring back the old minor league surf crew. Kahuna + Steve "The Flyin Hawaiian" Iwakuma + "Barefoot" Cary Jernigan were the originals ... add on "Zefram" Cochran and ... catcher's heads exploding yet? |

Geech Joined: 01/12/2014 Posts: 541 San Luis Obispo Turtles IV.8 | If I cut a player because I think he's no good, then I tend to hope he gets picked up, but plays poorly. This validates both my initial interest in him and my later re-assessment of his abilities. If I cut a player because of a roster crunch, I tend to hope he gets picked up and has a decent career. |
