2007 Random Rumblings

[missionhockey21]

Oh how the real world differs from the OOTP world, Miguel Cabrera won a gold glove at third. Ha.

Too bad his ratings can't be restored to their former glory.

Gimme a real dollar and I'll inject Taxi Cab with e-roids.

Back to Back MVP's for Helton

[Hammer]

villegas got the roy, luis matos won a gold glove in centerfield... and alex gordon took on some fierce progression during the playoffs. dare i say, im excited for the future of my team.

I find it quite odd that Baltimore took 1st place in MLB, AAA, AA, and A!!!

Tex and Rolen underperformed w/ the bats and won GG's.

Baltimore really got lucky!

Well, at least I got the Cy Young award if nothing else. Congratulations to Roy Oswalt. Hopefully my 3 headed monster comes back stronger than ever next year and FINALLY gets out of the first round at the very least.

[General]

Brandon Jones is a legit spec beast now.

Brandon Jones is a legit spec beast now.

And he knows 5 positions. Not many bats that talented have that going for them.

Mike Leiberthal won a GG. Honestly, I would have never seen that coming since he played almost every day. Then again his ratings are very good defensively. I am highly dissapointed though that none of my....7 or so rookies didnt win ROY. I though Hamels had a legit chance going 9-5 with a 3.15 ERA, but I guess missing most of September killed his chances...

Atleast Missions bad development allow my future to be bright! (This will be pay back for what you've done in Molinas )

[BrianDawkins]

people in ohio need to go to some damn indians games so i stop losing money

jhonny peralta won the gold glove, somewhat making up for 2 subpar years at the plate for me. well, hitting for average was subpar atleast. pretty good defensive outing considering he had a 5 range rating at SS before a boost there.

[BrianDawkins]

jared hughes up to 10-10-7 talent. yea, him and italiano miiight be kind of good.

jhonny peralta goes nuts and gains 2 talent points in contact and discipline. this, just as i was about to deal him. that complicates things a bit.
