Sweet, I have hammer, nick and blowjob in my division.

[DravenX]

I finally have the Braves. Now I can hopefully learn at least the basics with sim leagues now that I have a team I understand.

Any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll explain in detail. I'll help out as much as I can.

Also, you don't have to use the Braves real-life 25 man.. you can also use those in your minors if you'd like to. I noticed you stuck with those on your current roster when you sent me line-up changes, which is more than fine, but if you wanna use anyone in the minors including those who are injured even, feel free to call them up.

*hint hint* call up Mike Gonzalez *hint hint*

[Dry1313]

My team sucks, sans Chris Young and Jake Peavy...

I was going to look over that today actually.

The hack and slash Royals have returned. Cost slashing all around. Nothing else of interest happening at the AL Doormats place.

[Providence A's]

still trying to get that all league minimum 25-man roster, eh? Too bad I have a lower payroll than you...and we'll win more games, too

Theres a difference in going for the minimum and building for the future. :P:

I dont think Its possible for me to get to the minimum with some of the dumb contracts KCs signed. Im working on moving them for other contracts and stuff but that will only go so far before Reggie Sanders' are eating half the payroll LoL.

Please let Frank Thomas retire at the end of the year.

[Providence A's]

I don't expect to make a playoff run this year, but more of my prospects should be ready for a call up at various points during the year (Barton, Pelfrey, Gomez)...if not definitely next year. 6 - 7 is about what I expected.

Jason Ray's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Jason Ray is hitting his spots better, his command improved!

10,8,8 now...becomes a closer spec now instead of a MR spec.

Crosby gained discipline, too...hopefully, he'll fill it.

Parmelee, Barton, Gomez, Guerra, Italiano, Gonzalez, and Pelfrey are all in the top 100.

[OrioleMagic]

Please let Frank Thomas retire at the end of the year.

I'll trade Delgado for Thomas any day!

[Halladay_is_God]

a 7-5 sim to start off the season

2-1 vs CLE
1-2 vs NYY
3-0 @ TB
1-2 @ MIN

Batting AVG: .267 (9th)
Homeruns: 19 (8th)
Walks: 38 (19th)
Stolen Bases: 10 (19th)
Runs Scored: 70 (T-6th)

Pitching ERA: 5.30 (26th)
Opponents AVG: .285 (27th)
HRs Allowed: 15 (T-15th)
Walks Allowed: 35 (9th)
Runs Allowed: 70 (T-22nd)

the rotation was good enough except for one who's getting replaced

the player who gets the spotlight this week is SP Shaun Marcum who increased his talent levels
His Stuff increased from 7 to 8 and his control increased from 8 to 9.
Marcum now has 8-9-8 talent with 7-7-8 ratings, increased to a 5.0 star prospect, potentially a #2 starter.


Offense seems to be the early problem with some surprises
Vernon Wells - .231 avg 1 HR 8 RBI .677 OPS
Troy Glaus - .167 avg 3 HR 8 RBI .676 OPS
not the numbers you want to see from your 3rd and 4th hitters

rookie Curtis Trigpen did nothing to make things better for him, .179 avg with a .472 OPS and Aaron Hill didn't make anything easier with his low avg and 5 errors already.

to the good players on offense this sim
Jose Guillen .333 avg 4 HR 10 RBI 1.042 OPS
Frank Thomas .390 avg 3 HR 8 RBI 1.183 OPS
Lyle Overbay .347 avg 1 HR 13 RBI .937 OPS
