2017 random rumblings

[nick]

Have you considered swapping Reyes and Leday for a sim or two, Dave? I wonder if returning to leadoff would help someone like Reyes, maybe vs LHP atleast anyway. Seems like he's been best when leading off.

I was just looking at one of our old deals, Koz...

Traded from San Diego to Los Angeles (N) on 4/2/2015 (Going to SDN: 2B Andy LaRoche. Going to LAN: P Terry Braggs, LF Joe Benson)...

Benson turned out to be a really solid player for a throw-in (the other guy near-completely died though):

#65 Joe Benson, Centerfield, 29 yrs, Los Angeles (N) Dodgers - Out of the Park Baseball Report

I think he's lost talent since I acquired him, but he's kept the current above it. Or maybe he lost it before. Either way, nifty player.

I hate Joe Bensen

Here comes my push to .500 so I dont get a top 10 pick again...

John Bonney overcome by the vapors

that sounds like a Jimmy Buffet song

[Hammer]

man the nl east sucks. you know its bad when san fran, which has gone gmless for the last season and a half, at least, would be in the lead by 2.5 games.

[ljshorty89]

Well, as I said to GF, I was doing well, until half my team decided that they should take a hint from the real life Mets and just take a vacation to the DL.

[Porter]

You, Zito, Hammer and Dave seem to all be due by now...

Outside of the division: 47-29
Inside the division: 15-15

Meaningless but interesting.

i would but he's injured

[Kingdom]

Josh Beckett and Jon Broxton collectively knocked me out of contention.

Broxton has only blown 4 saves, just one more than my closer. You're being all porter-y

[nick]

5 losses combined between the two this past sim. Hammel got bombed somewhere in there too, but he's going down anyway.

I think I made the mistake of dropping down to 11 pitchers this past sim... every ERA in my pen went up a little (or a lot) without that last man in the pen. Don't know if that's really why, but my pen had been really solid up until that point.

[Kingdom]

Well, there's your problem, you're actually using a career bum like Hammel in your pen.
