Contract Bug

I Am The Game · 12-23-2003, 05:25 PM

I started my career as a 21 year old Catcher out of college. I was assigned to Single-A (hitting .318 with 24 HR, 25 2B, 9 3B and 28 SB) to start the year. I stayed in Single-A all season long (despite my numbers), and when the season ended clicked Advance to next year. When March 30th rolled around, I looked up and I was on the active roster. Now I didn't get the infamous phone call telling me I was being promoted to the active roster, but I ignored that, I figured who cares I'm making an extra 5 grand a week. Now I'm not starting at all, playing about two-three times a week (I got 42 AB in April), and I'm not even playing well at all (.143, 1 HR, 1 2B, 3 RBI, .401 OPS in 45 plate appearances) - but that's another bug on it's own. Most teams would've definitely demoted me to Triple-A if not Double-A by now. But the contract bug is that I'm not even getting paid. It says my contract type is an ILB Contract, and my yearly salary is $300k. But weekly salary, money received this year, and money due this year is all at $0.

This also happened to me one time, but fortunetly it clears up when the next season begins.

Well, considering it's only my second year I don't have much money left.
