I wanted to but given that I haven't had the chance to build depth, I didn't want to risk it with his injury rating (which is the only reason I didn't select him.)

how about posting the decreases???

[Kingdom]

JT Snow, Greg Myers, and Robby Alomar all realized they were near 40.

How do you tell? It doesn't appear to be posting under Player Development...

not a bad first sim, 7-3. I could still use some more offense though. My pitching has been real impressive: Have only given up 4 runs once, 5 runs once, and less than 3 runs the rest of the games. My bullpen hasn't even given up a run in 18 innings. I don't know if that reflects how good my pitching is or how bad the teams I played were.

The NL Central actually has 4 teams with 7-8 wins, impressive...

In BOSI...go to your team page. The "recent development" is on the team page and lists the play development in detail.
