    Re: 2012 Random Grumblings

    Years of Blake Dewitt being a black hole in generally one of the most productive lineups over the last few seasons might be nearing the end. He is not hitting any better but he is getting close to finally maxing his ratings after being in a developmental coma, up to 7-6-8-9-8 now. If he starts hitting .260 or so with a solid OBP, I'll consider that a victory.

    Oh and Chris Marrero is hitting everything and anything, to the point that I think his power is draining the power of guys like Bohdan Shust and Dave Wright. Truly a breakout season so far.

    Why not see what Sandt can do full time? If anything, he can steal a base and he's not a defensive liability.

    Sandt's not my type of player, to start anyway. I am hoping that Dewitt will develop into an .800-.830 OPS bat due to a good OBP, move him to DH and then either trade for a 2B or see if O'Riley can handle the spot full time. I use the DH right now as an attempt to compensate for Dewitt's struggles at the plate.

    Sometimes you have to break stereotype. Considering Dewitt's OPS has been awful and he's not good defensively.. why not try Sandt?

    Dewitt's discipline was like at 7. He's been making gains this year so I am hoping to eventually see him start to get on base better. If the overall batting was doing poorly, I'd bench him because he is weak, but since the lineup is so strong I feel able to carry him. I don't have a lot of patience left for him, but I am hoping it'll pay off though.

    Re: 2012 Random Grumblings

    There is just something about this team that hasn't been able to transfer into the new division. Last year Les Expos were somewhat competitive, now, I just don't know. The bats have not been there, at all, and although the pitching is good, they still need some runs on the board to be able to win a game.

    Batting AVG: .242 (23rd)
    Homeruns: 23 (T-23rd)
    Walks: 123 (3rd)
    Stolen Bases: 27 (T-19th)
    Runs Scored: 151 (20th)

    Pitching ERA: 3.58 (2nd)
    Opponents AVG: .239 (4th)
    HRs Allowed: 28 (9th)
    Walks Allowed: 94 (9th)
    Runs Allowed: 133 (3rd)

    Hosey .370, Blanco .331, and Wood .314

    Not quite who I expected to carry the offense. Bay and Crawford, terrible. Mayberry Jr. is whining about playing time, yet he's hitting worse than Adam Dunn.

    Re: 2012 Random Grumblings

    Max Scherzer is the worst pitcher I have ever had in a sim league. He's anti-awesome. He's so bad, he makes signing Boof Bonser and starting him sound like a great decision. He makes babies cry every time he starts. He's bad.

    But on a good note, Nick Adenhart is 6-0. o_o

    I'm happy to be in first, but I'd be happier if Harry Henke would win at least one game on the season.

    As long as he pitches well IRL I'm happy.

    Ok, question. So I see all these different team names in here. Does that mean that I can change my team name?
