8 - 5 sim. Fielder hit his 500th homer during the sim. Jon Asahina is still a stud (6 - 0, 1.11 ERA, 0.89 WHIP). Captain Kirk is getting in on the act, too.

.257 as a top 10 league BA???

At least Granderson is hitting well

And Prior must have known in his little SIM mind that I wanted to let him go at the end of the year. Thus he has the 2nd lowest ERA in the AL and is 5-0 to start the season

[Kingdom]

Guess I will be using a 3 man rotation.

[General]

Trying to decide whether to go with a four man roto or put escalona in as the 5th starter.

[Kingdom]

Use a 2 man staff.

[nick]

Hey General, please use Escalona as a SP. He's pretty much the best prospect in the league at this point... it'd be fun to see how he could fill in.

[nick]

AL East being the worst division so far is funny to me. Boston is only 1 game out of first!

[General]

Aight Nick. Put Price on the DL, put Escalona in his slot, switch to strict 5 man roto, and call up Heath Rollins to be #3 MR. Put Hidalgo in at 2 setup, remove him from 2 MO.

That be all.

[Saber]

Ignore that, Nick. Just put him on a 2-man rotation. He don't know what he talkin' 'bout.

[Foster]

AL East being the worst division so far is funny to me. Boston is only 1 game out of first!

7-2-10, my # of wins by sim. Sad that this place's me so close to the division lead.

[Saber]

Hey, Alberto Villanueva through 53+ innings, has NO WALKS ALLOWED.

[nick]

Saber, the funniest thing is, he's 2nd in the NL in hit batsmen with 10... Engen has 11 at #1.

[Saber]

He must have an angry streak. Or he beans anyone who gets 3 balls on him.

[Kingdom]

Does that make him like the alien chick from Total Recall that had 3 boobs? A guy with 3 balls.

Disturbing that Maybin is below the Mendoza line but in the top 10 in RBI

Prior and Jurrjens pitching phenomenally...
Granderson hitting like he was in his MVP season... but in general the offense is very disappointing, with batting averages sucking like a hungry newborn
