2012 Random Rumblings that feature a lot of Grumblings

[Porter]

Adam Jones now just needs to reach his talent to be a monster #2 hitter. Then again he also has to hit .268 not a .268 OBP

[Kingdom]

He could do it for me.
I won't deal you any pitchers this time since they always suck for you ;]

[Porter]

Thats the thing I need Relief Pitching. And I might just keep Adam Jones.

[Kingdom]

Seth McClung is my closer, what's that tell you? (pulling off the rare feat of leading the team in saves and tying for the lead in wins, when he was the closer the entire season)

Although Matt Bush is inching towards that role.

At any rate, shut up and give me Jones.

[Dam8610]

Hey guys, I'm back for good, so if my Nats are still available, I'll gladly take them back.

All yours pal. Zito kept em in good shape.

Zito and Saber, if it's cool with you two, I'd like you both to run Baltimore and Boston (whoever runs which is up to you two unless you guys want me to choose) this offseason and upcoming season until we find some GMs.

[Kingdom]

Saber can pick first, it doesn't matter which one I run.

[Saber]

Uh, Orioles, I guess. I'll reset the roster soon enough.

[Kingdom]

Crap, Shorty, you could have helped a brother out and drafted one of the guys I'm torn on!

horrible 3-9 sim

Batting AVG: .280 (9th)
Homeruns: 14 (T-11th)
Walks: 48 (1st)
Stolen Bases: 4 (22nd)
Runs Scored: 68 (T-5th)

Pitching ERA: 6.84 (28th)
Opponents AVG: .317 (29th)
HRs Allowed: 24 (30th)
Walks Allowed: 24 (3rd)
Runs Allowed: 90 (30th)

offense is pretty good, pitching should be way better than its performing

holy shit Dustin McGowan sucks, after ST happened his ratings jumped to 10-8-8 and now he's 10-8-9 but his stats are 0-3, 7.08 ERA, 1.62 WHIP after the 1st sim and Shaun Marcum continues to suck too with his ratings as 8-10-8 (over his talent 7-9-8), his stats are 0-2, 16.20 ERA, 2.28 WHIP, i have no clue what to do with them at this point


how about late development
Brad Wilkerson has learned to better avoid strikeouts!
Brad Wilkerson increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
his talent is now 9-9-8-10-6 (he's 7-9-8-10-4) but at 34, going on 35 by June, it seems way too late to even hope he gets up to his talent level

Dear Sir,
The time has come. I'll leave the show after this year.
I guess I will have to make room for the young players.

Sincerely,

Hi Chief,
I think my time is running out. This will be
my last season as a professional ballplayer.

Sincerely,
Matt Stairs

[Kingdom]

I have 3 total homeruns. 3.
David Ortiz has 6.

wham.

[Halladay_is_God]

you need Jose Guillen

[Kingdom]

Russ Branyan.

[bjd2933]

I think i may need Jose Guillen too... my offense stinks. Lincecum is kicking asses and taking names though... hopefully he'll sign an extension with me, unlike that scum**** Matt Cain.
