    Never seen this happen before... anyone else?

    Ok, so you guys who check the emails on the homepage probably saw these:

    Date: Wednesday, 2/1/2016
    Subject: Roido Tanosuke enters league.
    25 year old Pitcher Roido Tanosuke from has moved to the US
    and is now available as a free agent.

    Regards,
    League Commissioner

    Date: Wednesday, 2/1/2016
    Subject: Gerardo Balderrama defected and enters league.
    32 year old Third Base Gerardo Balderrama defected from Cuba and is now
    available as a free agent.

    Regards,
    League Commissioner


    I wanted to find Roido first, because you don't see young imports that the game creates manually that often. But after scouring the FA list I noticed he wasn't on there, and Balderrama was, so I considered it a glitch.

    I was just browsing the draft and found him:

    #2 Roido Tanosuke, Closer, 25 yrs, No Team - Out of the Park Baseball Report

    I didn't even edit him... didn't have to (the draft looks really good as is for the record, and I doubt I will edit it this year).

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I didn't know imports could enter the draft... especially THAT good. Never have seen anything similar to this in OOTP.

    He has no place of birth? We all know what that means... he's an alien.

    Ban him from the league Nick. I'll be damned if some alien tries to assimilate into my culture.

    S3SL once had a 26 yr old in the draft that was an import a while ago. It doesn't happen often.

    interesting that the closer moved to the US as a FA, but is in the draft pool. I hadn't seen that before. weird.

    Holy shit. I didn't even notice that, but it's downright creepy.




    Let's hope he's not bugged to blow up TPSL.
