2035 S3SL Random Ramblings

[Impossibles]

It's really tough to be competitive with so little pitching in the league. Really struggling with the staff. People don't really want to part with SPs either. And with mediocre seasons, there is no chance to get a top SP spec through the draft.

I have 3 decent SPs on my trade block and only got 2 offers on 1 guy.

[zodious]

KC had. A 6-8 sim to start the season and a 5-9 sim after that. I retooled the lineups and went 10-3.... The issue comes down to the next sim when I have 7 games against Minn. And I'm already 6 games out! Lord help the royals!

[Providence A's]

Rick Miguel is pissing me off now. An ERA over 7 after 2 months? Are you fucking kidding me?!?!

[albbla2000mu]

Clifton Mooreman to my bench after filling in fairly well for 2 months for my injured 1B .300-26-56, ehhh, decent

[missionhockey21]

I trade away all of my 3B options so that Licon, a GREAT fielder, can have the spot and then he breaks his foot in the first sim he has it. Awesome.

[OrioleMagic]

Vandiver is available.

[Kingdom]

If only I had pitching, and Lor not taking the season off.

And as predicted the Padres start their slow decent back to another 80-85 win season.

5-10 this sim, going 1-5 against Colorado. Starting pitching has been surprisingly good, even Hadsell and Destefano have been pitching decently.

Oh man I love minor leaguers with crazy numbers.

Javier Cienfuegos, a 19 year old CF/RF playing for my AAA team, has 34 homers in 56 games (AA and AAA combined). Oh please please please let that power stay with him.

[Molina00]

It's nice not being completely horrible once in a while. ERA is still high but only 13th in runs allowed now plus the 2nd best offense in the league. Losing Drumm for 3 weeks hurts though. He's making a serious push for ROY.

Malinowski, Alonso, or LaValle of interest at 3b?

[Hammer]

My offense is getting better which I like. Vanvalkenberg might end up being the most underrated player when it comes to great players. Hes 3 HRs and 7 RBIs away from being the 3rd member of the 500-500 Club (Michel and Poovey are the others). VV is currently at a 85% SB rate as well. Overlock did well in his debut as did Jackson. I need the pitchers to start developing a little more to get the crap out of Zona. Rubio is a major risk/reward (basically Cam Newton) but I don't trust the SPs enough to take them.

[HollywoodLeo]

Can somebody explain to me how my team is in 2nd?
