2028 Mindless Ramblings

[HollywoodLeo]

Another Cy Young for Alfred Tardy on the horizon?

It's either him, Grove Jr, Lazo, with David Lotz maybe being a darkhorse.

This is, of course, discounting OOTP Rick Steiner-ish randomness.

[Providence A's]

Tardy will win it. I'll be shocked otherwise. I think Muntz is a darkhorse.

NL Rookie of the Year...SS Stinson of the Cubs or CF Torre of the Cardinals? My apologies if I missed any other candidates, but I couldn't really find any.

NL MVP...I-Rod I would guess. He's the first guy to hit 50 or more homers since 2025 (6th time overall, but only the 4 player ever to do it in this league). Marpons and Arashikage have a shot, but I doubt it.

Sadly, this season marks the end of Steven Krouse's career. I stubbornly kept him in my lineup vs RHP in an effort to get him one more gold glove despite him dying off with talent hits every sim. But all good things must come to an end.

I hope he retires with the rollover, but he'll be a 1.0 overall free agent that nobody signs if he does not.

11 Gold Gloves in the last 12 years. Hopefully he adds one more on his way out the door.

[Providence A's]

You're not going to sign him and let him retire a Padre? For shame...

C Cobbs had two hitting streaks of 20 games or more:

Had 25-game hitting streak snapped on 7/9/2028...
Had 21-game hitting streak snapped on 10/3/2028...

[HollywoodLeo]

Well, I suppose I would, but either way it would suck if he didn't just retire this year.

[Providence A's]

He wants $360k x 2 years.

[HollywoodLeo]

Sure, why not.

Give that to him and hopefully he rides off into the sunset instead.

[Kingdom]

Don't be cheap, Leo

[Kingdom]

Yay Leo!

[Providence A's]

Signed. He wouldn't take anything less either.

[HollywoodLeo]

Krouse and Chauncey Leister are the only two people left on my roster who were there when I took over San Diego in 2015

Leister is a free agent who I'm not resigning and Krouse hopefully retires.

How the White Sox ended up over .500, I'll never know.

[Trendy Bastard]

Anderson is 250 hits away from 3,000 with two years left on his contract.. Does he get there?

[griffeyfan3]

Thank god the season is over and I can let Guizar's $29mil salary fall off. Jesus.

[DMBZeppelin]

I'm worried about Weddo retiring. I drafted him in 2009 and called him up in 2010. He's 38 years old now. He's 48 stolen bases away from 2,000. He had a career low 62 this year. He did manage to get past 3,500+ hits and 200+ HR's this season.
