2062 thread of random rumblings

[ImJussSayin]

Von Doom doesn't qualify as a talent loss save for that so that makes the decision easy.

He was a free save over those 3 sims but beyond that the prospect has to be at least close to MLB ready for a save from talent loss (as opposed to career or season ending injuries)

Ah. I hadn't bothered looking back at the thread or anything. Just was something I noticed very late last night.

[Providence A's]

Another year of no real increases in player talent, just losses and inconsequential increases.

[Kingdom]

You have an old team. Do you really expect old guys to boost?

[Providence A's]

Obviously not the old players, but there are a few under 30 in the majors and plenty in the minors. Instead, it's hit after hit regardless of age save for the occasional "increase in duration" or "positions himself better" type stuff that isn't really that helpful. CF Sobrino gaining contact is about the only useful development I've had I think. Hell, my 27 year old SP lost talent for no reason lol.

[Slyder]

John Woods seems to join the conversation of possible backup shortstops was the biggest development for me.

Then there was this 50x50 love/hate situation:
Yasutoshi Nichiren seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Yasutoshi Nichiren is hitting his spots better, his command improved!
Yasutoshi Nichiren has lost some movement on his pitches...

All on the same day. I think thats the first time I've seen boosts to 2 when losing 1 other.

My team still sucks (Would be nice if Troy or Wayne would hurry up for opening day next year):
Batting AVG: .258 (24th)
Homeruns: 92 (24th)
Walks: 320 (20th)
Stolen Bases: 172 (5th)
Runs Scored: 536 (24th)

Pitching ERA: 5.15 (22nd)
Opponents AVG: .287 (23rd)
HRs Allowed: 178 (26th)
Walks Allowed: 426 (24th)
Runs Allowed: 715 (22nd)

Marvin Smith was a decent addition at least with the bat if not with the glove.

It almost makes up for trading John Swart to Baltimore and watching him immediately turn into the next Cal Ripken Jr.

[Kingdom]

Sosa forgot his corked bats in Colorado.

[Slyder]

12-5 to end the season. This team maybe just about ready! Hopefully quiet offseason of no major injuries/talent hits, a little luck, and I'll be competing for post season baseball rather than top 10 picks.

Darrin Shinn for Rookie of the Year!

[HollywoodLeo]

Two divisions featured a 90+ win team in 3rd place

Meanwhile, the NL Central is the Cubs and nobody else.

Also, I can't remember the last time Baltimore missed the playoffs.

End of an era

The run ends with the GM. Essentially what he wanted, outside of the players dying there too

[Trendy Bastard]

Both of my prospects died late in the season. So that's cool.

[Kingdom]

Hey, you don't have to be so upset at my Upton deal mofo anymore.
