My biggest disappointment of last year, Tony Rodriguez...he's projected to have 130 HRs this year, to go along with 255 RBI and a 1.381 OPS. Putting Valencia at Closer was the best move I've ever done. Shawn Riggans is dominating. In fact, all of my FA signings are doing good. Lets hope I can keep this up for a while.

[General]

Tony Rodriguez has 4. And he had 9 all of last year, in 110+ games played.

How can a guy named Thor suck so badly?

Chistopher Thor

[mntwinsfan]

Man missed the first sim. damn... Well 0-6 lost 3 games by 1 run each. Now Albert the great is in the Lineup so all is now well. S.F. will turn things around.

Missionhockey21 glad to see we have a league up and running.

5-1 in the SIM....

Somehow Bong has gone from a 4.5 closer to a 1.5 closer... I must think about taking him out of that role.... but the most obvious choice, Arnie Munoz, is a very inconsistent pitcher...

Matt Albers might break into the rotation at the #5 spot... he is FINALLY developing at age 29
