7 - 3 sim somehow...maybe 6.5 is what gets my team back on track lol.

[browntown653]

****, the season started

[cjkalt]

92 Runs in 10 games... holy ****, although its apparent I need another starter, if you have one available let me know.

[browntown653]

My team is going to be so good.

[Shadow29]

Ahhhh Mediocrity.

[HollywoodLeo]

Adam Dunn batting .333

I don't expect that to last.

Well the whole offense wont stay at hitting .242 all season long. And my rotation won less games than Alaska did in the sim. Yeah its going to be a long year.

[CrazyEights]

The Gwynn division has a 3 way tie between Boston, Vice City, Shaolin

[Kingdom]

So that's why Leo wanted to deal Scherzer.

The key for me on offense this year is the development of Matt Christopher, and he's still got a ways to go, but I'm kinda surprised about the hot start considering I let Brandon Wood go.

I'm also really happy that the pitching isn't giving up free baserunners and is keeping the ball in the park. I do need another starter to help, having Harden and others won't cut it (Hopefully Willis makes a recovery too).

If you have a not Super expensive, talented SP available let me know, Bud Weiser can def. be had in a trade.
Tuesday 4/4/2012 : Fernando Sucre seems to have taken his game to the next level!Tuesday 4/25/2012 : Fernando Sucre has improved his plate disclipine!
This kid was a decent 4.5 spec when I got him from Porter and now he is a legit top level spec with 8-6-10-10-7 talent with 10-7-6 speed so thats very helpful for the farm system.

[Kingdom]

The key is also Anaheim/Maine is out of that division.

[HollywoodLeo]

So that's why Leo wanted to deal Scherzer.

If it makes you feel any better, Alex Gordon is hitting .197
