    2024 Random Thoughts and Whining

    Why won't 39 year-old CL Fruto die or retire already. He must die or retire before he catches career saves leader and HoF Huston Street. Fruto needs 54 saves to pass Street.

    Some Padres notes

    - Looks like Tardy had a talent boost, as I don't recall him being all 10's
    - The computer got me Daniel Boyer back, which is cool because I regretted that trade. Kind of a hefty contract, though, for a guy with 7 movement
    - San Diego's fan interest has shot up, which is awesome (I assume at 93 they're not one of the ones Prov manually edited)
    - Marquis LeCroy has developed as well as I was hoping he would before the league last ended
    - The computer traded David Draper and 2.5 star prospect Bill Chamblee for Dr. Bruce Kaplan, which seems to be working in my favor
    - I have a lot of extensions to work on this year
    - The Computer showed me that Raymond Pfarr can be an effective starter despite the 6 endurance (I generally don't start anyone with less than 7)
    - I love seeing "Won World Series with San Diego in 2021..." at the bottom of most my players' pages

    I only changed the fan interest of teams that were below 49/50. Anyone that was above remained untouched. I just tried to give those other teams a little boost...some were significant boosts. I think KC was 18 IIRC.

    I just want to see if I can re-build a team into something good.

    Because he is Rickie Weeks Brother from another mother and going to play until he's 50!

    I can't remember but I am sure Lester and Thompson were good, since Villegas was a star. Davila was only a prospect.

    yea thompson was like 10/9/8... lester went right in my rotation too. it wasnt that bad of a haul in all honesty, neither were aces but they were good... but id have liked to keep villegas regardless.
