2009 Random Ramblings

[browntown653]

Dammit nick, we're starting a new one.

Fielder hitting .175 and Sheets with a 6.29 ERA, we have a winning record. Fantastic.

[bjd2933]

Pretty much what I expected... about .500, awesome pitching, no hitting, nomar dead, and leading the majors in walks(thanks swisher, johnson and abreu!) At least I signed hillenbrand, who is a capable backup at third.

[krush]

Johan Santana takes a talent boost...now fully maxed out...nothing but 10s all around MUH****AAAA

[Providence A's]

11 - 5 sim to start the season.

Batting AVG: .254 (17th)
Homeruns: 20 (T-5th)
Walks: 65 (T-2nd)
Stolen Bases: 12 (T-18th)
Runs Scored: 88 (T-5th)

Pitching ERA: 3.50 (3rd)
Opponents AVG: .207 (1st)
HRs Allowed: 16 (T-16th)
Walks Allowed: 55 (24th)
Runs Allowed: 63 (3rd)

I'm not liking all those walks by my pitching so far...I was hoping we'd get that under control this year At least Duke and Harang are living up to my expectations...Lester and Hirsh have started out well, too.

Oh, and nothing but negative development to start the season...lovely.

My pen is a mockery. Wow. That's so sad. It's so much worse than the crap I use in tssl.

[perforatededge54]

Can someone look at the attendance statistics please. Wow.

[OrioleMagic]

Mets start slow... Wagner is on the block with Kunz ready in AAA. Somebody make an offer if you need a closer...

[Providence A's]

Can someone look at the attendance statistics please. Wow.

you did have 13 home games boss...the most for any team. Florida had 12 for 2nd. That and your fan interest is maxed out.

[perforatededge54]

Ah, didn't realize that.

Saw the maxed out fan interest. Richie Sexson is just such a draw.

[Halladay_is_God]

my team sucks
4-12 sim

Batting AVG: .232 (29th)
Homeruns: 12 (26th)

bright spots

RF Jason Bay: .322 avg, 6 HR, 17 RBI, 1.210 OPS
MR Steve Kline: 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 10.1 IP, 0.58 WHIP

Carlos Sanchez seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Carlos Sanchez's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Carlos Sanchez is hitting his spots better, his command improved!
a MR who improved to 9-8-8 talent, not bad for a 10th round pick

Dustin Majewski has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
Dustin Majewski increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
Dustin Majewski has gained more power!
older project in AA, improved to 7-8-5-8-5

[bjd2933]

LoL... Steve Kline...

I wish someone in my pen would start sucking bad enough to call Erick Threets up...

[Halladay_is_God]

he barely made the opening day roster so its a nice surprise

[perforatededge54]

My offense has been terribly disappointing. Dunn and A-Rod have been great but Jeter has sucked mightily.

[Slyder]

Batting AVG: .275 (6th)
Homeruns: 16 (T-17th)
Walks: 31 (29th)
Stolen Bases: 19 (T-7th)
Runs Scored: 72 (23rd)

Pitching ERA: 4.20 (13th)
Opponents AVG: .238 (4th)
HRs Allowed: 15 (T-13th)
Walks Allowed: 43 (9th)
Runs Allowed: 67 (7th)

8-7 and pretty good numbers so far... I'll take it.

The pen's whip scares me.

Brian Bannister and Kyle Lohse rocked it out this sim with sub 3 eras by both. I doubt they'll keep em that low but my future would be much brighter if they did.

Still need more run producers in my lineup as Teahan and Feliz struggled.

Progression:
Saturday 4/8/2009 :

J.P. Howell seems to have improved his pure stuff!
J.P. Howell is hitting his spots better, his command improved!
J.P. Howell is now 9 7 5

And a bunch of endurance changes.

[DiamondDave]

Jay Sborz seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Jay Sborz's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Jay Sborz is hitting his spots better, his command improved!

Turns from a scrub into a 4.5 SP spect at 9-8-6 potential... I'll take that

Batting AVG: .264 (12th)
Homeruns: 26 (1st)
Walks: 52 (13th)
Stolen Bases: 10 (21st)
Runs Scored: 81 (13th)

Pitching ERA: 4.15 (11th)
Opponents AVG: .239 (6th)
HRs Allowed: 14 (T-8th)
Walks Allowed: 33 (2nd)
Runs Allowed: 67 (T-7th)

Team is finally hitting HR's like it should be... but the runs are not there to reflect it

Starting pitching is struggling, but the pen is preforming well.... Miller is inching ever closer to his 10-10-10 potential

I'd still like to trade Sweeney and make room for Maybin on the ML roster
