2025 S3SL Random League Ramblings

[Slyder]

All your doing is loading up on the top draft picks. Time has come to start performing.

Ive made that jump before. The time isnt quite here yet. Sept 1 I think youll see my "future" in the majors. Some a little bit before that depending on need and when I decide to start cutting a bunch of people.

2012: Wins : 59, Losses : 103, Pct. : .364
2013: Wins : 80, Losses : 82, Pct. : .494
2014: Wins : 104, Losses : 58, Pct. : .642 and a WS ring.

Wooooo, last place

[mntwinsfan]

woot, best team in the league! Hage by the way is 10-0!!! Just think my club started off slow real slow and look where we are at now.

Your 1st place Giants....

So...apparently we're actually good? Who woulda known...

[Slyder]

Wade sweepstakes are back on. Looking for either a young MLBer (no older than Wade) perferably OF with some power. My team looks to have the guys who can get on base just need the guys to drive them in.

Draft already paying dividends:
Wednesday 6/11/2025 :

Carl Ybanez increased his bat control, resulting in more contact!
Carl Ybanez has gained more power!
7 8 9 8 8 talent now. 2nd round pick I believe already had 7s in both those pre boost unless I missed something.

Thursday 6/12/2025 :

Jonathan Battle seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Jonathan Battle's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!
Jonathan Battle is hitting his spots better, his command improved!
7 9 8 talent now. Looking to trade him as part of a package for a good young OF or another SP of similar talent and young (perferably cheap not a deal breaker though).

Oh ya the MLB team...

I lost more games than I won.
Batting AVG: .281 (7th)
Homeruns: 38 (29th)
Walks: 161 (30th)
Stolen Bases: 51 (T-21st)
Runs Scored: 299 (27th)

Pitching ERA: 5.52 (23rd)
Opponents AVG: .300 (29th)
HRs Allowed: 67 (11th)
Walks Allowed: 239 (T-15th)
Runs Allowed: 392 (22nd)

Young guy(s) coming up soon I expect.

Three really good hitters, plus a couple of others playing well above their talent, plus 3 aces under 30 years of age, plus a capable closer and setup man = pretty good odds you're going to be good, especially in the AL

[Kingdom]

The Wade "Sweepstakes" were off? Who knew.

[browntown653]

You know what the funny thing is? Bruce Rybicki has the lowest OPS of any of my infielders.

[bjd2933]

Wow, wimbley is not all that bad as a closer.

[Kingdom]

Fewer opportunities for walks and homeruns as a 1-2 inning guy. But it also takes advantage of his high strikeout rate.

[Halladay_is_God]

toronto just keeps on losing great

[DiamondDave]

Batting AVG: .297 (1st)
Homeruns: 125 (1st)

Pitching ERA: 4.06 (7th)

Walks Allowed: 209 (11th)
Runs Allowed: 311 (7th)

Still fending off of Boston, who has recently decided to make a run at things..

The SP staff is performing pretty damn good... Cornett's return is helping that... looking for just a bit more progression from 3 or 4 players on the ML squad, and this should be one tough cookie of a team to compete with down the stretch

I was all ready to trade away McKee, since I will not be able to resign him.... but I am not sure I would have the cycles to replace him.... I can sill in for him in the rotation, but the pen, which is showing some cracks, would take a major hit with no real viable replacements

So Slyder just offered me Wade and "a 4.5 spec" for McCarthy.


Are you serious?

I told you I misread your trade block. It was what 2am this morning? Sue me for misreading a trade block tired.

Hey, consider yourself lucky on the prospect.
