2008 Random Ramblings

Well, Tenn will be in the wildcard hunt all year (If not favored to win in my opinion), but...of course we will be crushed by the Cards. Heres hoping that Roger Clemens breaks his back.

Well the changes I made did not go into the game. I sent them and lineup is still the same. I dont know if my game is not exporting correctly or not!?? So I even sent pm to crazy with moves now. Anyways yes you won. Still along way to go.

You need to post in the sim thread if you want to make sure I get your exports. I import all of the line-ups at once, and I can't tell which ones worked. If I know that you imported, then I can import your team individually. You have to let me know though....not by PM, but in the sim thread.

I may actually have to think of trading for offensive help. The recent injuries and the poor performances by some key players have put me down much farther in the BA rankings than last year's rank, and certainly below where the talent of this team dictates the team BA should be. Power is not an issue, and the runs scored in relative terms to the team BA is good, it can be better.

pitching is coming around after The 4 man rotation has settled down. The bullpen has been solidified by Francisco and Fuentes, and Witt has come on strong as of late.

The draft should be rather interesting... with the amount of people moving around in the draft order, both by participation and by trades, I think we will see a lot of personal favorites going early. The good thing is that the draft is deep thru about 2 rounds, there is talent to be had be each team, even if they do not have a 1st round pick or if they have moved down 1 or 2 slots because of the participation bonus game. I don't think there will be much disappointment of who gets what. The one thing I see, after looking thru the players, is that I don't think we will see as many hidden gems in round 3-5 as we did before. I don't expect there to be a hidden MR with a 8 endurance falling in the draft, only to become a #4 starter for some team in a season or two....

I wish I could be around for it, but there is no way. I made my list, so I know I won't get messed up with a computer pick in the first 2 rounds.... if I get any of my top 25, I would be very happy indeed

[CrazyEights]

It's cool Dave... I have your list. This draft does look good... I just wish I still had a 1st round draft pick. lol

I think it does. It should be listed in the participation points thread.

Porter submitted an article that is posted on the website now.

So do we get participation points still? Do they accumulate for next year's draft now?

[CrazyEights]

Yeah....participation points can still be earned. I will go into more detail tomorrow morning about how it will work.

[Porter]

Did you get the sim review that I did the same day as the article?

[Dry1313]

Ugh. I can already sense Housel being a bust. 34 GBP, 8 stuff, ad he throws 93? UGHHHHH!

You know that Crazy guy needs to stop winning games, SIXTEEN straight. I went 6-4 and still lost 4 games, but hey I did save 15% on my car insurance by switching to GEICO. That and I'm only 1 back of the WC now.

I will probably start losing a lot of games if someone takes me up on my offer to trade AJ Burnett.

St. Louis needs a couple career enders. Because their team is amazing and everyone is still in their 20's.
