2010 Random Ramblings

[Providence A's]

I couldn't see your changes because you didn't read the post I made in the news section that if you exported it wouldn't work because of all the trades you made during the week after the file was posted. I can't actually view the exported file. If it imports correctly, then I can see the changes, but otherwise you can't see anything. Talent gains and losses are random...there's no way of telling that he lost talent due to being called up or not. I had a prospect lost contact talent toward the end of the season after being with the MLB club all year.

Your export will be fine this time...export it and I'll adjust the salaries of any of the guys that you didn't want up, but I can't give talent back because he could have lost talent anyway. I apologize, but you (and others) really should read stickied posts...especially ones entitled 2010 news.

2-8 sim as expected seeing as how we're rebuilding. But Derrick Robinson, who I got in the Berkman trade, went down for the year and lost whatever power he had. There goes a year of development and the possibility that he might start in CF next year.

Kind of hard to read what you said when the first oppurtunity I had to do so was at about 10:45 tonight. If you want the reasons for that, you'll have to IM me, as I'm not airing out my personal life for the world to see.

When a player is playing TWO levels too high, he will invariably lose talent. This is why it's bad to leave a player at a level when the game says he's playing too high. I wanted Adams in AA (where the game said he should be playing), NOWHERE NEAR the MLB level, and my changes reflected that.

If that's the case, I'm very disappointed. Again, I had no chance to be online today before about 10:45 tonight for very valid reasons, so I can't read what I can't see, and I sent in changes last night. I don't feel I should be punished for your actions, and while it's entirely possible that Adams would have lost that talent in AA, it's a GREAT deal less likely considering he wouldn't have been playing two levels too high.

I posted in the news section that if you exported, it wouldn't work on April 29th...5 days ago. You had plenty of opportunity to read that post:

So... the big deal is only a 3.5 star prospect before talent drop at best? I can't imagine the reaction if Blaze were to die.

[mntwinsfan]

10-10 for the Twins. another 500 sim. But this sim my super spec was called up. Here is what he did the last 10 games. With a 2 homer 5 rbis in his last game!

Vladimir "General" Ulyanov II
Batting G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB K AVG OBP SLG OPS TAVG ISO
Overall 10 42 24 5 0 2 11 10 2 2 .571 .591 .833 1.424 2.053 .262

Nothing like hitting .571 after 10 games

[mntwinsfan]

This was the last game vs Boston in Boston.

Ulyanov II game info:

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Vladimir Ulyanov II
Game Notes:
Vladimir Ulyanov II hit the longest homer of his career, it went 407 feet. Vladimir Ulyanov II hit the longest homer of his career, it went 411 feet. Vladimir Ulyanov II set a career high for RBI in a game! Vladimir Ulyanov II set a career high for runs in a game! Vladimir Ulyanov II set a career high for hits in a game! Vladimir Ulyanov II extends his hitting streak to a career high 10 games! 5-5 AB 5 rbis 2 homers

[browntown653]

Ulyanov II is filthy.

13-7 after a 6-4 sim for Tampa, first in the AL East by 2 games...AL East is a weird division so far.

Division Records:
Tampa Bay 13-7, Pyth 14-6
Toronto 11-9, Pyth 9-11
Boston 10-10, Pyth 9-11
NY 9-11, Pyth 7-13
Baltimore 8-12, Pyth 11-9

So Baltimore is behind NY despite a pyth of 4 games better...weird.

If the pitching gets better watch out.

I wondering if my pitchers got the memo that they arent supposed to have a 5.00 ERA yet. The offense is on track led by Morris, Eddy Rodriguez (who is hitting .460 and has a 10 game hit streak) and Carlos Lee. Cruz gained contact talent then Sequea decides to lose stuff talent. Its going to be a weird year.

villegas is off to a REALLY slow start... still in first in the al central though. watch out when he heats up.
