2011 Talk About My Team Thread (formerly known as random ramblings)

[DiamondDave]

My bullpen could be replaced by Brownie Troop 34974

[DMBZeppelin]

Finally getting back into the sim swing of things after being on vacation. I'm AMAZED D-Lee is finally simming well. I have two stud prospects in AAA who are MLB ready, but I may keep them down there to learn more positions. While I would have taken the younger, more talented 10-10-8 SP in the draft I'm still very happy with who I got. At least the guy I got has 8 actuals in control.

[Kingdom]

I'd be happy to deal you the more talented, younger guy.

[nick]

Go for it you two.. I'd much prefer you guys are happy with your picks. I wasn't sure DMB, I honestly thought after the Crew debacle you'd prefer Rednick since he was older and more likely to develop (in my eyes, atleast).


Be happy I didn't grab the speedy OFer like Zito wanted me to for you...

[Kingdom]

Juan Pierre for MVP

Now in first in the AL Central...


Still do not know where the HR power of this offense has gone

[Porter]

Batting AVG: .273 (15th)

Walks: 149 (7th)
Stolen Bases: 20 (19th)

28-12 overall, best record in the ML. Everything is clicking right now. Meche, Francis and Young are a combined 18-2 right now. The bullpen has been solid. Matt Holliday continues on his torrid MVP pace. But Brendan Harris and Rob Johnson better stop whining about playing time because I have no room for their asses right now.

[Providence A's]

below .500? are you kidding me

It'd be nice if McCarthy pitched even close to his ratings.

[HollywoodLeo]

The run at the top of the AL Central was fun while it lasted.

[Saber]

Andrew McCutcheon is now a monster.

[Slyder]

Getting pissed at my rotation and underacheiving maybe putting some of these guys in the pen will get their attention (that includes Josh Beckett). Still lack power on offense but I think that should come around more when it gets warmer outside.

Batting AVG: .283 (6th)
Homeruns: 34 (25th)
Walks: 109 (27th)
Stolen Bases: 42 (9th)
Runs Scored: 184 (23rd)

Pitching ERA: 4.58 (14th)
Opponents AVG: .262 (8th)
HRs Allowed: 41 (13th)
Walks Allowed: 160 (T-27th)
Runs Allowed: 192 (13th)

My DH platoon is failing horribly right now (Probably going to try Cooksey there), Robert Wooley's whip is higher than his ERA right now, Grienke to the pen, Bannister shortly there after if he doesnt pick it up, and Im going after Becketts pay for highway robbery if he doesnt start pitching like 2010. I could call up Seu Song and see if he's got anything, Sonny Gray and get him to work, even that bum Ryan Dumpster is looking enticing to try out with my pitching problems. Would like to try and acquire another power bat, position is not a problem I can DH him or rotate the DH.

The run at the top of the AL Central was fun while it lasted.

It's just a thought, but you know you have a 8-8-9 pitcher ROTTING IN AAA

[Providence A's]

It's just a thought, but you know you have a 8-8-9 pitcher ROTTING IN AAA

or you could be like me and have a 10,8,8,9 59% GB that throws 91 - 94MPH rotting on your MLB team...

[CrazyEights]

The Cardinals are in first, but are underachieving. On top of that, all of my outfielders are complaining because they aren't playing enough. lol

[Doppelgänger]

Darvish continues on his torrid pace at 0-7 with a 7.77 ERA. I guess its a good thing I'm not bent on competing this year.
