    Jermaine Dye Jr. increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!

    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I love Pelaez as my amusement.
    5 homeruns, 17 rbis, 6/6 steals, .583 slugging and then he's on pace for 200 plus strikeouts and a .250 OBP. Bahahahaha. Love this guy.

    Looks like I compiled an offense to be reckoned with. I hate my rotation though.

    Can I request a move to the NL West?
    My 1 game above .500 would be the leader.

    that may be something to look at down the road depending on what happens this year. I may do it regardless, but we'll see. I was thinking of making 2 divisions in each league like the old days. We already don't use interleague. There would still be 4 playoffs teams in each league though; 2 division winners and 2 wild cards. As it were now each division would have 7 teams. It may be less depending on what happens.

    what about just.. two leagues, 14 teams each, battling for 4 playoff spots, anarchy ensues!

    but in all seriousness, I wouldn't mind something simple like your idea for division layouts

    I vote no on account of it lessening my playoff chances.

    I wouldn't mind the 2 division format as long as we keep the 4 playoff spots as Prov suggested.

    Does each division get 2? Winner and the wild card.

    How about they do, but if the wild card doesn't meet a certain win requirement than the third place team can steal the other divisions wild card?

    I think it should be the two division winners and the remaining two teams with the best records, regardless of which division they're in.

    I'm not sure how it would work in the game. The game is complicated in some aspects, but limited in others. I would guess that the 2 Wild Cards would be the 2 teams with the next best records regardless of what division they're in. If it even lets me have more than 1 Wild Card. I will be looking into it though.

    For sure, I won't change anything if it means less playoff spots at this point. I know the old format didn't have the Wild Card, but I think that could make for some very boring action if a couple teams run away with it...
